The room is small and there is noise on the floor, but it is not bad for sleeping alone. Instead, there is noise when cars pass by on the road side, so it is better for sensitive people to choose the sea side.The advantage of this hotel is the restaurant.1. Scallop, chorizo ??and tomato stew is really delicious. I've been very disappointed with the British food I've eaten so far, but I admit it...2. In addition, a stutter made with smoked salmon also never fails.3. Above all, the breakfast is excellent and you can order from several menus.I chose the full English breakfast and eggs Benedict.The staff are also really friendly.

Stayed for new year's last year and returned again this year as it was such a great place to stay.The Lochside team are fantastic and make you feel right at home.Add to this the bar and views from the restaurant and it makes for a stay to remember.Thanks again all!

It was a nice cozy stay there, the room was tiny but super sweet, cozy and had a nice view to the sea.The bathroom was a dream, nice shower and all brand new.The Bar is a dream for everyone who Loves a good glass of whisky, or two or may more, but be careful, or you may need a appointment with your bank accounts :).The Bartender, a young Man was the perfect match to the Bar, he could nearly tell to all of my drinks something.Really a pleasure to met him.I will always recommend this hotel and hope to come back in summer to enjoy the wildlife nature of the the Islay.Nik

Great stay at the lochside. Staff are lovely. The rooms are nice with several looking over the water. Breakfast and dinner was spot on every day. Excellent WiFi coverage throughout.

Fantastic food, both breakfast and dinner were delicious. The view from the dining room was absolutely beautiful. Everyone that worked at the hotel, bar, and restaurant were nice and helpful. Rooms were spacious and well equipped.

Spent two nights here, I was in the annexe at Briarlee house a short walk away. Very comfortable room which was spotless. Food and service was excellent, breakfasts were the best. Many thanks.

Ate here twice for evening meals in my 3 days on Islay. Impressed with the standard of food, attention to detail and the views.

Needs to up it's game, it's all very well having a view but this needs to be matched with service and quality.The staff were friendly and efficient but the food was disappointing with many dishes not available.could do with some competition.

It was a nice view but the steak pie gravy was watery and lacked taste26th Aug 2023Been back a few times. Tonight I had a lovely meal. So I've moved it to 4 stars.Had Haggis and then a burger.It's on the dear side, but everything on islay is more expensive.

Lovely restaurant, excellent views across Loch Indaal. Get a window seat if you can. Unsurprisingly the seafood is particularly good whether prawn and langoustine starter, scallops as catch of the day, or grilled sea bass. Desserts also really good. Good wines, excellent range of whiskies. Will return.

I'd really like to rate it more - it has a great view and great staff, but after a seafood chowder that was 50% potato and 15% celery, and then a rare steak done medium well, well what can you say ...
