“Islay House presents itself as a grand estate ready for its next chapter, with spacious rooms and a serene setting conducive to unwinding. The included breakfast offers a solid start to the day, and while the property's charm is evident, some navigational and amenity details, like clearer signage and in-room fridges, would refine the guest experience. Nevertheless, its historic character and peaceful grounds make it a noteworthy stop on Islay.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Ukstrathclyde
