I’ve read nothing but positive reviews about this accommodation, and I can wholeheartedly confirm them. Lorna and Karl are two exceptional people who go out of their way for their guests. A warm welcome – they always have a moment for a chat. The place is spotlessly clean; the kitchen is tidied twice a day, and everything is gleaming. In the dining room and the lounge, you’ll find plenty of interesting reading material about the island. If I ever return to the Isle of Islay, I’ll definitely be staying here again. Lorna and Karl, thank you both ♥! Vera, Aberdeen.
The only downside was that the stay was short; that’s the only thing I can think of.

Excellent: super clean, comfy room, perfect bathrooms with good showers. Lovely large living room with plenty of sofas and tons of local books and papers to read. Kitchen is amazing: you have everything, is very well organised and has a lot of space. Atmosphere is great, couple who runs is is ideal: efficient, organised and very friendly. You basically feel at home. Honestly: a million times better than the a bit rundown decadent o repriced hotels on the island. Better this hostel that is at least genuinely, honest and extremely well kept. By the way you can have dinner next door on a seafood restaurant (I would recommend it: over several days had islay grown oysters, lobsters, langoustines, salads — it was all good). Stay at this hostel! You can even keep your bike in a dedicated space and car parking is private. Can’t be better.
Nothing. You need a car or bike but it is not because of the hostel. The island is quite large.
