Popular Islay 4-star Hotels

We arrived on 24 December and departed on 27 December - the hotels Christmas package. This is an exceptional hotel with very comfortable rooms and a fantastic and attentive staff. The food was very good and the menus inventive. The wine list was extensive. And reasonable. Also, the Guinness was the best I have tasted outside Ireland! The hotel has a ‘screening room’ i.e. a cinema room, where you could book a film of your choice at a time that suits. The hotel also offers a small fitness studio and massages etc. The weather was horrendous apart from Boxing Day which was sandwiched between the poor weather. We had a round of golf on that day which was memorable. The Strand (beach) is a short walk away across the golf course and is seven miles long, enough to lose yourself. On the afternoon of the 24th, which was very windy but thankfully dry, we walked about a mile with no one else on the beach. The cobwebs were truly blown, ready for Christmas. All in all, a fantastic break in a fantastic hotel in a fantastic setting.

Had an amazing stay at the Port Charlotte hotel with my family. The team at the hotel are lovely and made us all feel really welcome. The whole island is beautiful, but we loved going down to the little beach by the hotel and seeing the sun rise in the morning and then back inside for a wonderful breakfast. The hotel has a small bar with frequented by guests and locals, the atmosphere was really nice and the food was amazing. I just wish we had more time to do the whiskey selection more justice. We were already planning our return before we left. Thanks to Moira and everyone in the port Charlotte hotel team for making our stay so special.
