Glenegedale House feels like home. I've been fortunate to travel quite a bit, throughout the US and UK especially, and there is nowhere else I'd rather stay than here with Graeme and Emma. No one will work harder to make sure you have an incredible visit to Islay--helping with dinner arrangements, suggesting sites to visit, recommending the best distillery tours, and more. My wife and I stayed with them in May 2023, but only for one night, which was not enough, so we were just back again for four more in October 2024. It is not an exaggeration to say that we travelled back to Scotland so soon in large part for the breakfast at Glenegedale House. The porridge is life-affirming. You will not regret booking a visit to Islay, and in particular, a stay at Glenegedale House. We can't wait to be back there again.

Tips:

Get dinner at Glenegedale House as many nights as it is offered during your stay. Take advantage of Emma's comprehensive knowledge of Islay and her seemingly endless supply of connections and resources. Do not pass on the porridge at breakfast. Do not ask for just a small bowl of porridge.

Exceptional hospitality!! Exceptional food! Exceptional knowledge of the area. I believe Emma knows everyone on the island. She saved us when we had an unexpected driver issue. You simply must stay at the Glenegedale House or miss a lifetime experience.

If I had to change anything, I would take the ferry rather than fly. Make sure your driver is arranged to drive in the evening.

From warm welcome with cup of tea and home made cake through outstanding dinner created from locally sourced ingredients, comfortable bed, and amazing breakfast with not a prepacked cereal in sight, Emma and Graeme's Glenegadale House lived up to our high expectations.

Tips:

Allow plenty of time for a relaxed breakfast to savour all the home preserved fruits and perhaps the porridge with a tot of Laphroaig on top.

Absolutely superb! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Emma and Graeme’s lovely property. So peaceful with stunning views. The attention to detail of the hosts is to perfection. They were also very kind and helpful with everything we asked of them. When you wake up in the morning you will be treated to a 5⭐️ breakfast! So delicious! Thank you Graeme and Emma for our stay with you and the memories we now have of your lovely property.

Tips:

Do not look elsewhere! You will not regret staying at this amazing property. You will love it! If you are from the USA, be sure to go to the American monument on the island. It will touch your hearts. We hope you enjoy Isle of Islay as much as we did!

Loved staying at Glenegedale House. The proprietors were lovely and ensured we enjoyed our stay. The food they offered for breakfast was top notch. And the dinner menu was just as tasty as you could get in other restaurants on the island. The seafood platter is a must if you stay. So fresh and cooked to perfection.

An absolutely incredible experience. A gorgeous guest house, with old world charm and the most welcoming and lovely hosts. This felt like stepping back in time with the level of service, the exquisite food and the convivial atmosphere, being able to chat with other guests (if you wanted to) with a few drinks in the lounge after dinner. The food is showstopping, and everything is prepared fresh and with love. Never had a better muffin or indeed porridge (with a secret ingredient)! The seafood was caught fresh that day and dinner was a truly special experience. Exemplary on every level, thank you so much to Emma and Graeme for embodying the true spirit of hospitality. Also greatly appreciated the comprehensive advice and recommendations on local activities.

Tips:

Do not hesitate to request the seafood platter (in advance). I have never had a seafood meal this fresh and combined with the home baked breads and oatcakes, it was just sensational.

Emma and Graeme put their heart and sole into every aspect of Glenegedale House. Beautifully appointed with every possible detail covered. Outstanding food and drinks, especially if you are a whisky or gin lover. The Seafood platter , literally caught a few hours before it is presented to you , is something everyone should savour. Live your best life, stay and embrace everything that Glenegedale offers.

Absolutely the best stay I have had in years, I travel rather extensively and I enjoyed my time at Glenegedale more than I have in a long time. Thank you for putting up with all the questions, the attention to detail, the amazing food, the amazing location, all the helpful insights. We were overwhelmed with just the pleasure of staying at the location.

Tips:

The location is five minutes away from the airport, but is absolutely quiet. You can pick up the car at the airport or you can catch the bus as it comes through. You must have the resplendent breakfast everyday and definitely stay for the dinners. They are fantastic and worth every penny. They have a great list of drinks / whiskeys / wines and can help you select something nice. It was enjoyable chatting with other travelers whilst sipping on something. This place is a required stay, between its location, food, hospitality, food, appointments, food, drinks, and lastly, the outstanding food. Don’t forget the food … I would move in if allowed. Stay here on Islay before you think of another location. Be courteous to your hosts they work their fingers to the bone maintaining the gorgeous facility and accommodating all of us travelers. They are the best. Keep in mind it is just the two of them working 24/7 for you and communicate your needs but also be responsible for yourself and your actions on property. We can not express our happiness enough with finding and staying with them on Islay.

Imagine you are living in a waterfront mansion, spotlessly clean and perfectly maintained, yet you never see anyone doing these mundane tasks. You are cheerfully greeted each morning with a beautiful breakfast served impeccably on gorgeous china and crystal. Yet, the feeling is warm, like you came home for Christmas and everyone is so happy to see you. The Glenegedale House is a place you will not want to leave!

Tips:

Do ask Emma and Graeme for their advice and recommendations on restaurants, which ferries to book and when, historic sites in the area, etc. They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful and also very responsive via email before you arrive. Enjoy Islay!

This is the best B&B I’ve ever stayed in. Indeed the quality of food, accommodation and service surpasses many 5 star hotels I’ve stayed in. I’ve never had a breakfast of such a high quality in the UK ever. Dinners were fabulous too.

Tips:

The location of the property is within walking distance of the airport so no need to hire a car. Taxis are easily available on the island. Overall Glenegedale offers a quiet place to relax, eat and sleep well far from the madness of the world. After a day exploring the island a gin and tonic watching some of the best sunsets you’ll ever see will be the perfect end to any day!

We loved our stay at Glenegedale House and meeting the owners Emma and Graeme. They provided us with a wonderful place to stay and great food and drinks to enjoy. They helped me plan out our vacation while on Islay even before we got there and then helped sort out sone other interests when we arrived. The seafood dinner that we had was absolutely amazing!!!

Tips:

Stay at Glenegedale House or at least plan to have a meal here. A car is really necessary to get around the island and see what each end has to offer. Reserve at each place you want to eat at for dinner, as they book up quickly. Make sure to check the ferry schedule often, as it will change or cancel a ferry with very little notice.

We spent three nights at Glenegedale House in July 2024. Emma and Graeme were engaging hosts who made every effort to make our stay memorable. They did so by: - Creating friendly environment to chat and have a drink with them and other guests; - Sharing their experiences in living on Islay; - Providing information to help us explore Islay; - Excellent meals that emphasized local foods; - Proactive communications when our flight was canceled and we came to Islay by taxi/ferry; and - Comfortable and cozy room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Rob and Ruth

Glenegedale House on the stunning isle of Islay is an absolute gem that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and felt instantly at home. The owners, Emma and Graeme, are the most gracious hosts, always ready with a friendly smile and eager to ensure their guests have a wonderful stay. The location of Glenegedale House is perfect, situated centrally on the island, making it an ideal base for exploring all that Islay has to offer. Whether you're interested in visiting the renowned whisky distilleries, hiking through the breathtaking landscapes, or simply relaxing on the beautiful beaches, Glenegedale House is conveniently located to suit all your needs. The accommodations are top-notch, with beautifully appointed rooms that are both comfortable and stylish. The bed was comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of exploring the island. One of the highlights of my stay at Glenegedale House was the amazing food. Graeme is a fantastic chef who takes pride in using fresh, locally sourced ingredients to create culinary delights that showcase the best of Islay's produce. The hearty breakfasts were a masterpiece that left me eagerly anticipating the next meal.

Tips:

Book the distilleries tours in advance. They sell out quickly. Wear layers, its often cold and rainy even in summer.

Our stay was a delightful experience, from beginning to end. Glenegedale House is run with superb attention to details, from the flowers in the foyer, to the set up of our breakfast and dinner table, and the lovely country house atmosphere in the common areas. The room we booked was spacious and beautifully decorated. The food is a chapter apart: delicious and served in a setting that makes you want to stay until later, with the addition of a wonderful soundtrack. It was a pleasure to chat with Emma (when she could spare a few minutes). She knows a lot about the island, and we enjoyed hearing about it. The location is very convenient, especially if you’re flying in. So, thank you Emma and Graeme for such a lovely experience!

A return visit to Glenegedale and it more than lived up to our memories. Graeme and Emma are perfect hosts; the warmth of their welcome is matched by faultless hospitality. Attention to detail was obvious in all aspects of our stay : the water flask and cups on the bedroom were both elegant and practical; delicious chocolates provide a pre-sleep treat following a splendid dinner. Breakfast is a highlight with Graeme’s special porridge (if you know, you know) laced with Laphroaig providing a good base for sampling Islay’s whiskies. There is a range of imaginatively spiced fruit compotes. The quality of produce in the cooked elements of the breakfast is obvious. A stay at Glenegedale House is a wonderful experience through Graeme and Emma’s ability to combine a consummately professional approach with a knack of making guests feel at home, comfortable and relaxed from the moment of arrival. We can’t wait to return -thank you!

Tips:

Have the porridge!

More than a week since our arrival at Glenegedale House - time flies when you are having fun. From the lovely surprise welcome of chocolate brownies and coffee, when our flight landed to the seamless breakfast service to accommodate our early departure four days later, we were superbly looked after. Our room was perfectly clean and thoughtfully decorated (lovely thistle wallpaper) which good storage space to accommodate clothes for all weathers, even though we didn't need the adverse weather gear we had packed. The dinner menu supplied by Emma a few days before our arrived was very tempting for each night, but as we wanted to explore the island and other eating options, we only chose one night. The meal was outstanding. Really well presented, fabulously cooked and just a little too much - in a good way. Choices over the week ranged from sea bass to local venison, with varied sides. I'd have loved to have eaten on other evenings really. The aromas every evening were memorable. Pre dinner drinks are served in the lounge and a very extensive list is available. We tried our best and sampled local beer, gin and of course whisky. We also had some French wines. Breakfast is lovely - exciting actually. Graeme/Emma are great hosts - enjoy

Tips:

Room Two has a good view of the Atlantic Ocean, good sized shower and room for all your 'stuff'. If you need a taxi for evenings out and know when/where you are going, book early. A few of the companies we tried were fully booked. The airport is only a five minute walk from Glenegedale House, so you won't need your hire car on the morning of your departure, if you can manage your luggage. Local buses were good for avoiding any drink/drive issues when you fancy the 'three distilleries path'. This is a welcoming and, we found, informal B&B/Guest House, so my final tip is - relax and let Graeme and Emma spoil you.

Best bed and breakfast at which I have stayed. Really a mini hotel given that a magnificent dinner is available every evening except Sunday. Such a personal service in a comfortable house.

Tips:

Book early since Glenegedale is in such great demand. Would not normally recommend a facility that is across the road from an airport but we were never aware of the two incoming and outgoing flights a day. I would even consider flying to Islay just to stay here for a few days! That said, you probably need a car (or bike if brave) to travel from the ferry and to explore wonderful Islay. Do not turn down dinner and the seafood platter must is compulsory on one evening if it is available!

Nestled between Port Ellen and Bowmore on the Isle of Islay, Glenegedale House is a lovely B&B set within a beautifully maintained old building. With just four rooms, the atmosphere is intimate and inviting. Each stay feels personalized and exclusive, adding to the charm that draws us back year over year - 2025 has already been booked! Owners Emma and Graeme strike the perfect balance between luxury accommodation and a family-style welcome. It's a place where you are pampered yet completely at ease—a rare find in the world of travel. One of the highlights is undoubtedly the food. Every morning, we are treated to a fantastic spread of freshly made dishes with local ingredients taking center stage. Several nights a week, the option to partake in a three-course dinner is available, and it is an experience not to be missed. The common area in the basement, with its plush sofas and tasteful decor, provides a delightful space to relax and mingle with other guests, often leading to interesting conversations over a G&T or Whisky from the extensive drinks menu. Here's to feeling at home while being pampered in true luxury!

Tips:

Keep in mind that Islay is a small, remote island and Glenegedale House a small, family-owned B&B. You can expect perfect hospitality, but no 24/7 concierge or services only large hotel chains can provide.

This is a gem in the western isles. The entire experience has both been carefully thought through and yet is spontaneous when you are in their care, for care is what you are offered from arrival till departure and at all points in between. If, like us, you enjoy island exploring, make sure you plan a stop here. We have a list of new places to visit but Glenegedale arrests that, for we keep going back and the list will just have to wait.

We recently stayed at Glenegedale House and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. From the moment we arrived from Australia, the hosts were incredibly welcoming, offering detailed recommendations and tips that enhanced our visit. The room was beautifully appointed, featuring plush linens and soft towels, ensuring a comfortable stay. The food was a standout, with the seafood platter being particularly memorable. It was served with an interesting history of each item and details on how it was prepared, adding a unique touch to our dining experience. The hosts’ recommendations for gin and whiskey were spot on, complementing our evenings spent playing games in the cosy parlour. The setting was picturesque, complete with stunning ocean views and delightful sightings of newborn lambs. This place combines the beauty of Islay with exceptional hospitality and fine dining, making it a must-visit destination. Highly recommended!

A Master Class in 5 Star Scottish Hospitality From the delicious cakes on arrival to the pre dinner Islay Gin served in their beautiful drawing room - the very essence of Glenegedale House is about making your stay perfect. My husband and I stayed for 4 nights in April 2024 after booking based on the many glowing reviews found online. We had read about the amazing breakfast and expected something special. Well special doesn’t come close to the love and pure hard work Emma and Graeme put into their breakfasts. Home poached fruits served in crystal bowls, highly addictive granola made by Emma and then the most delicious cooked options. Including eggs from their hens and Scottish smoked salmon at its finest. The best breakfast I have ever eaten. Just brilliant. The evening meal cooked by this amazing couple is another triumph. Emma can tell you exactly who on the Island grew the vegetables and the names of the fishermen who caught your scallops!! 3 courses of delicious food cooked with love - fabulous wine list as well!! Emma and Graeme work so hard and both should be applauded for all they do for this magical Island. Whilst I could write lots more, the app doesn’t allow it!! In summary though a truly 5 star experience

Tips:

If you can - contact Emma and Graeme before you travel as their knowledge of Islay is extensive and all the recommendations they gave us were just brilliant. Book any whisky tours/ boat trips in advance as they are very popular.

Sometimes you know about a place when you walk in. There’s a sixth sense that lets you know you’ll be happy, comfortable and relaxed. That’s how it felt during our entire stay. Perfectly positioned to explore and our room was gorgeous and we had a sublime sea view. We had dinner on our first night. It was perhaps one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. Great food, cooked well and served in style with warm service. Magical. But even better than dinner was breakfast. Perfect porridge. Dredges of brown sugar. Doused in cream and Laphroaig. Islay smoked salmon and eggs from their own flock. Haggis, black pudding and all the trimmings. Perfectly poached fruit. I’d eat that breakfast every day for the rest of my life and I’d be a very happy (and much rounder) man. If you’re a whisky lover, just bathe in what you’ll find: drams that you won’t see elsewhere, and even if you could you wouldn’t find a better place to enjoy them. But it’s not the things that make a place, it’s the people. Graeme and Emma’s hospitality heritage shone from beginning to end. We genuinely felt like we were at home during our entire stay. If you ever get a chance to visit, you have to stay here. Once wasn’t enough. We’re already thinking about coming back.

We traveled across Scotland for over 3 weeks, and Glenegedale was our favorite stay! Thank you, Emma and Graeme, for giving us the most beautiful memories that will last for our lifetimes. Your pre-arrival communications assured us our upcoming stay was in the best hands…and upon arriving, we were immediately impressed by your outstanding accommodations, the presentation and deliciousness of each meal, and your Islay insights for all our local day trips…simply, world class! Glenegedale House is such a cozy, inviting house, exceptionally well-appointed throughout, including the wonderful bedrooms that inspired us with a sense of tranquility. You are both excellent chefs and each meal was a culinary masterpiece. Thank you for incorporating fresh-caught seafood, other local foods, and Islay’s amber elixirs into an amazing experience. Your knowledge of Islay and your relationships across the island, also added to our visits to historic sites, distilleries, and craft shops. You’ve given us a much better appreciation for the island and the people of Islay. This was an extraordinary experience. We give Glenegedale House our highest recommendation and will definitely be back to see you as soon as possible.

Tips:

Be prepared to enjoy a wonderful experience, where Glenegedale provides an Islay home away from home. Glenegedale will accentuate the stunning natural beauty of Islay, and Graham and Emma make each guest feel extra special. Graham has a special Islay porridge you must try. And, you’ll also want to see about getting the seafood platter that included scallops someone on Islay might dive for that day... Also, take advantage of their vast knowledge of all Islay has to offer. Their insights and recommendations paid big dividends for our day trips.

Bus stop come right across the street. Food is amazing- the Whisky porridge…. We are converted… no other way to eat oatmeal now! You will have a wonderful visit. Rent a car, and book it early..

Our stay at Glenegedale House was a real highlight of a two week trip in Europe. The accommodations are immaculate, the food was amazing and we appreciated the emphasis on supporting the local economy. All our communications were professional yet friendly. It is so refreshing to stay at a place where you know the proprietors really put forth the effort to make a stay enjoyable. I left wishing I had booked a longer stay.

Tips:

If you are visiting Islay, The Glenegedale House is a great choice for lodging during your stay. The house and common areas are beautiful and the rooms are comfortable, quiet and well appointed. The food is delicious and the hospitality is top notch. We found the location convenient, just a short drive to all the points of interest on our trip, and the owners are a great resource for tips and information. The Glenegedale House deserves all of those 5 star reviews you will find on travel sites.

We were thrilled to stay at the Glenegedale House for 5 nights. It exceeded our expectations from beginning to end. The breakfast menu was amazing and the evening meal options were also incredible. The quality and care that went into preparing the food was impeccable and service fantastic. Overall there was a wonderful sense of calm at the House and the hospitality had just the right balance of feeling cared for, and also being left alone. The hosts were there when we needed them and subtle in their presence when we just wanted to be quiet and stare out the window. We felt 'at home'. It was an exceptionally hot week on Islay so the only thing we could have used would be a fan (I guess we never asked). Thank you for the stay; the memories will last forever.

Tips:

The airport is very close so handy if you're coming in by air. Port Ellen is also a short drive if you're coming in by ferry. We would highly the Glenegedale House for a peaceful stay on Islay.

On behalf of my friends and I, I would like to thank you both Graeme and Emma for a most wonderful few days and a truly unforgettable trip. I am grateful for all the tips and advice (and fascinating stories!!) which made a big difference to the overall experience at Islay. You were attentive yet not overbearing, it was very much like home from home which I loved and I felt relaxed and welcomed immediately. The food was the best I have tasted for a long time, the seafood platter an absolute highlight for us all. I just wished I was able to have sampled the cheese and charcuterie platters you currently have showcased on your website which sadly are no more! We will for sure be returning to Islay and Glenegedale House and would not hesitate in recommending this to our friends and family. I wish you both all the very best and thank you again. Warm regards, Roland.

Graeme & Emma were absolutely the loveliest hosts. Our room was beautiful, with decor that tied the old world feel of the home, with the modern comforts of today. The bathroom was equipped with all the little amenities needed for a weekend away. Our bed was so comfortable and the duvet was the perfect combination to suit the chill of the evening. Katia' and Chris recommended this location and will be visiting again soon.

Tips:

Absolutely wake up for breakfast. The porridge w/ fresh fruit, brown sugar, cream and a splash of Laphroaig along with other freshly prepared offerings (Poached egg, smoked salmon, hollandaise over crisp toast..) are just what is required to begin your day on Islay. Emma even sent each guest with couple fresh muffins, which we ate in between our adventures scotch tastings.

We spent a wonderful long weekend on Islay enjoying the local culture, nature and produce, as well as some great hospitality from Emma and Graeme at Glenegedale House. The house is a comfy and relaxed place to stay with really outstanding breakfasts and evening meals featuring local and regional produce, perfectly cooked and presented. Our bedroom and ensuite was compact - in a cosy farmhouse sort of way - with a good-sized comfortable bed. The location was perfect for us, mid-way between Port Ellen (Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg) and Bowmore, and just a short walk from airport arrivals across a slightly unusual airport feature - a cattle grid :). It must be the quietest, loveliest walk-from-the-airport accommodation in the world. We walked, taxied and bussed the island and were blessed with some great weather. Emma and Graeme were the perfect hosts, happy to share their local knowledge with us and make the most of our short stay. It's a family-run business and they must work pretty tirelessly in the background to make things this serene for guests. Many thanks! Michael and Julia

Tips:

Our trip worked fine without a car - keep in mind there are no buses on Sundays, and a little notice works best when looking for a taxi, Mayfair this isn't :). If we were staying longer we'd have hired a car for a day or two to bring some other parts of the island into easier reach. The short Logan Air flight from / to Glasgow was a great way to get here, with some lovely views of the Firth of Clyde on the way home.

Words are not enough to describe how absolutely incredible our stay was at Glenegadale House! Emma went above and beyond to help us find transportation to Islay when there was an airline strike. On our arrival we were immediately welcomed like family and provided the yummiest home baked goods to take on our explorations of Islay. Do yourself a favor and get the fresh seafood dinner! This incredible feast is spectacularly prepared by Graeme, a master chef! And breakfast is a special treat. We felt like we were royalty for the entire stay as everything was the highest of quality. Our room was extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated like the rest of the house. Emma and Graeme are the best hosts and will be sure to make sure that you are well cared for during your stay. We were sad to leave and felt as if we had left family behind. It is no wonder how they have repeat guests.

A beautiful house on a beautiful island. Our hosts Emma and Graeme are wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable about Islay. Our room was very comfortable and very well appointed. We were surprised that Emma and Graeme weren’t formally trained as chefs because the food they cooked and served was sublime. Beautifully cooked and stunningly presented using Islay products from families and companies they’ve dealt with for years. Their attention to detail in all aspects of our stay was amazing. Emma and Graeme are so helpful and knowledgeable about Islay. They were happy to recommend other places to visit and eat. They always suggested places to visit and walks to take in different areas. They responded quickly and easily about my eating requirements (diabetic) routinely supplying alternative options. The central location is great. It’s along from the quiet airport and on the main road from Bowmore to Port Ellen providing easy access whether initially flying in to Islay, using your own transport or using the island’s buses and taxis.

Tips:

If, like us, this is your first visit to Islay, have a wonderful time and ask Emma and Graeme for help with your planning. They are very knowledgeable of their home and will suggest walks or places not to miss. If you are staying at Glenegedale we strongly recommend you take your evening meals there when available, as they are wonderful. If it’s not your first visit then you’ll know how beautiful Islay is! Tours of the distilleries are always busy so need to be booked but you can drop in for individual tastes at them all. Note that different distilleries close on different days so do plan your whisky tasting route around the island. And don’t forget the gins available and the new rum distillery.

Graeme and Emma really do go the extra mile to make guests feel happy and comfortable. We had dinner in on two of our nights and Emma recommended restaurants for the other evenings, even ringing round several places on our day of arrival till she managed to get us a reservation. The breakfast was amazing and really set you up for the day, with delicious, freshly baked muffins to take away if you wished. The Gin Menu was extremely comprehensive. Our room was spotless, the bed and bedding wonderful. We were blessed with sparkling sunshine for our stay (late September) and really connected with some of the other guests which added to our enjoyment. Unfortunately we didn’t see the Aurora Borealis but Emma explained that if they do put in an appearance, they try to ensure everyone sees the should they so wish, waking them up if necessary. Hopefully next time!

Tips:

Don’t be put off by Glenegedale House’s location near the Airport. There are very few planes on a daily basis, you really don’t hear them and watching them occasionally coming in to land through the floor to ceiling dining room windows is something of interest. There are also beautiful sunsets from this spot on sunny days. Glenegedale is well located for the bus route to Port Ellen (minutes from the hotel) should you wish to visit one of the three main distilleries and have a dram or two!

Just do it - you’ll not regret one moment - except leaving! If there for their dinner presentation, be sure to attend. Their wine and drink menu is great. Parking is easy (and free) and wifi works very well. Forgot a book? The library has a fine selection. The host/ owners are local with plenty of local information about touring Islay, whisky , dining out, ferries and shopping knowledge. With vast hospitality experience, you will not find a more professionally run B&B on Islay- and we tried three prior! Some might say the stay is pricey but you certainly get what you pay for - and beyond. Even “Jamie” from Outlander has stayed there TWICE! We will return!!

Fantastic greeting, cake and tea on arrival nothing was too much trouble. Food was sublime and carry out bags provided for freshly baked muffins that couldn’t be managed at breakfast. Breakfast sets you up for the day and there is ample choice of local produce (the hens are just out of the back door). If you have chance to have either the fish or charcuterie and cheese platter take it, but beware you will feel full. That’s if you can finish it all. Emma and Graham are the perfect hosts. They know the Island and it’s people and will advise you on what would best suit you and your tastes. Whether it be a quiet beach or gin or whisky distillery. They have a vast selection of whiskies so you can try different distilleries you may not have been able to visit. There are a couple of beautiful lounges where you can enjoy a pre dinner drink or linger over coffee before heading to bed for a sound nights sleep. It may be near the airport, but it is not going to disturb you with its twice daily arrivals.

Tips:

If you want to visit a specific distillery book it in advance as places are limited.

We had a wonderful stay at Glenegedale House. Emma and Graeme made us feel so welcome in their home. It is a beautiful house in a brilliant location with the most stunning views. Our room was beautifully decorated with everything you could possibly need- nothing has been left out of place. The breakfast every morning was exceptional and we were certainly spoilt for choice. We had a delicious dinner on one evening at Glenegedale prepared by the hosts and served in the dining room so we could watch the sunset over the bay. This was our first time on Islay and we will definitely be coming back in the future to stay at Glenegedale House.

Tips:

Great location- straight across the road from Islay Airport or just a ten minute drive from Port Ellen ferry terminal. Have dinner at Glenegedale House- the food is delicious. The fresh seafood platter looked exceptional.

Arrived home safely after a truly wonderful vacation, thanks for ensuring our travel plans were not hindered. By the troubled ferry service. Graeme and Emma you are excellent hosts, with first class culinary skills. The meals are fantastic. We have stayed several times, and found the very friendly, homely and relaxed atmosphere, adds to a very enjoyable holiday. Looking forward to staying at your hotel soon.

Tips:

The Glenegedale is a superior Hotel in Islay and should be a first choice for any one visiting the island. With a 5 or 10 min walk from the airport and being very centrally based, A truly fantastic breakfast is a must to try, and a lovely Seafood platter. I could not imagine anyone being disappointed by their stay at the Glenegedale

Glenegedale House is elegant yet casual with warm hospitality and is conveniently located across the street from the local airport. Our flight arrived early in the morning far too early for check in. However, Emma and Graeme, the proprietors of Glenegedale House, welcomed us with a pot of fresh tea and warm home made muffins and offered to store our luggage for us while we visited the island for the day. They even made arrangements for a driver to take us around the island and suggested sites to see. When we returned late that afternoon, we were warmly greeted again and shown our beautiful room. Cocktails and/or wine are served between 6:00 and 6:30 with dinner at 7:00 pm. The extensive list of liquors and wines was very impressive. The dining room in which the meals are served is stunning with a huge window looking out on the front yard with a view of Laggan Bay. The delicious food served reflected the local bounty. After a great night's sleep on the very comfortable bed, we enjoyed breakfast which was also served in the dining room. The delicious breakfast offered is large enough so that we really didn't need lunch. The kind and generous hospitality offered by Emma and Graeme made Glenegedale House feel like a second home.

Tips:

Order the seafood platter if it's offered during your stay. It's spectacular!

Honestly the hospitality made it feel like you were at home with family. The other guests were friendly and sociable all while maintaining respect for privacy. As for Emma and Graeme I can’t say enough. The two are absolutely amazing. They welcomed me in with open arms. Rooms and living areas are immaculate. Not to mention their wealth of knowledge about Islay. Oh and did I forget to also remind you of their bar and whisky selection. As for location….. it is across the road from the airport, and beside Creswell Auto so easy to rent a car and scoot around all of Islay without worry.

Tips:

If you don’t rent a car ask Emma and Graeme in advance to set you up with a taxi service. One or the other is likely needed.

Absolutely excellent in every way! Here's my full review from Trip Advisor: Graeme and Emma are truly amazing hosts! Prior to our arrival, we received personalized email communication with every detail we needed to plan for our stay. Emma was quick to respond to all my inquiries about our stay on Islay. Upon our arrival, Graeme greeted us, gave us the tour of the guest spaces, and showed us our room. We were then served tea (in silver and china) and AMAZING homemade brownies. We walked across the street to the beach for a lovely afternoon walking, collecting shells, etc. The following two days we explored the island (distilleries, Celtic cross, American monument, the woolen mill) via e-bikes (which I would highly recommend). Graeme and Emma provided loads of recommendations. Our room was charming, impeccably decorated, and very clean and inviting. Every detail had clearly been thought of. Dinner our first night was the most incredible seafood platter I've ever had (requested via email ahead the week before our arrival). Emma could name the person and time (that day!) the items on the platter were caught. It was hands down one of the best meals of my life (including Emma's delicious oatcakes). Breakfast options for both mornings were varied and delicious; I had the Scottish breakfast one morning and cheese platter the next and would highly recommend either. And don't skip Graeme's porridge! Our second night, was the one night per week they do not offer dinner to encourage guests to explore other local offerings; they provided many recommendations and offered to reserve us a table (for flexibility, we did not reserve a table but instead wandered into the Islay Inn in Port Ellen (one of Emma's recommendations) for a lovely dinner). Check out was seamless on our final morning. Upon leaving, Emma gave me her recipe and tips for her oatcakes! When (not if) we return to Islay, this will be our top choice for accommodations.

Tips:

Distilleries (obviously) American Monument was incredible. Exploring the island on e-bikes was so much fun! Walking on the beach across the street from the house.

Could not have been a better experience. Perfect blend of stellar service with enough privacy and space to enjoy it all. The inn itself is wonderful, and the ambiance that Graeme and Emma create is fantastic. Emma is basically a miracle-worker in her ability to nab a last-minute dinner reservation in town or to line up a taxi ride when few are available. The only downside was that we couldn't stay longer.

A five star hotel in miniature. A beautiful place to stay with fabulous food and a comfortable and welcoming ambience. Easily the best guest house or B and B in which we have ever stayed. The breakfasts are stunning and the whole house is spotlessly clean. Greame and Emma are just lovely. Good value for such a first class stay. A sharing platter on one of the evenings is an absolute must!

Tips:

We ate at Glenegedale 2 of the 4 nights we stayed. Certainly the best food on the island. The Port Charlotte Hotel has a great atmosphere and a high standard of pub food. Very clean too. SeaSalt in Port Ellen is very welcoming with a buzzy atmosphere. Ardbeg Distillery has a great outdoor eating space, where you'll be served cullen skink from a gorgeous green caravan.(Daytime only and closed Sundays and Mondays currently).

Staying at Glenegedale House is a must. The house is decorated to a high standard. The food is out of this world. The atmosphere is home from home. So comfortable. A real treat! Must do - Seafood Platter for a treat. And be a breakfast person - otherwise you’re really missing out! It’s very handy for the airport and the bus stops right outside. Otherwise, car is a good alternative.

Tips:

Islay is fabulous for some time away. The island runs at its own pace but the welcome and hospitality are fantastic! Jura is a vibrant community with lots going on. The islanders on both Islay and Jura are forging ahead in innovation and growth. Things to try - Islay Tuk Tuk. See Jura. Lussa Gin. Bowmore. Islay Wines (Port Ellen) and Islay Ales. Jura Brewery pale ale. Lynne’s Labels in Bowmore. Sea Salt Bistro in Port Ellen. Buy Orsay Sea Salt. So much more than just whisky! Although the whisky is good too.

Emma and Graeme are fabulous hosts and catered for us exceptionally throughout our four day stay. Home baking, dinners and tremendous porridge (and associated fruits) AND a fantastic choice of cooked breakfasts (full Scottish was my favourite) all added to our enjoyment and satisfaction for a wonderful stay.

Tips:

We drove (via ferries) to the Island and there is an airport directly opposite, an easy 5 minute walk across the road to Glenegedale House. I think defo need a car to get around and see all the sites. We travelled up and down the Island with ease (nothing too far or onerous) and there is plenty to see, history, Monuments AND many excellent Whisky Distilleries...

Graeme and Emma are phenomenal hosts. They were kind, thoughtful, and very helpful during our first visit to Islay. The accommodations and dining were all top-notch. The breakfast is out of this world, and we were so happy to treat ourselves to the amazing seafood platter. The location of Glenegedale was perfect for us, too, since the short walk over from the airport was convenient. I wished we could have stayed longer! I will not hesitate to recommend Glenegedale to my friends.

Tips:

If you decide to stay at Glenegedale over a Wednesday night, be aware that dinner is not served in the dining room, and take-away (take-out) is not permitted in the house. Since we didn't bring a car with us to the island, this posed some challenges for us in coordinating transportation as the bus service stops early in the evening and taxis are expensive and also hard to come by if not pre-arranged. My advice is to make your dinner reservations before you arrive to help avoid losing out.

A stay at Glengedale House is like staying with wonderful, hospitable friends who can cook like a dream and just happen to live round the corner from some of the world’s best whisky distilleries! They also happen to have other witty, interesting, house-guests staying with them who share what they have been doing during the day with tips and advice on places to visit. The essentials: a comfortable bed and immaculately clean house get full marks. But Glengedale House is so much more than that. Graeme and Emma make staying there a really special experience and they create a really wonderful, welcoming, atmosphere. Be warned — you will come away with lifestyle envy, as they show a real passion for what they do. You will begin to wonder if you could open a B&B on a Scottish island. And then you will realise just how much hard work they put in behind the scenes (drawing on their years of experience in hospitality) to make it look effortless. You will likely conclude that you are better leaving it to them as the experts, and will just book your next stay with them! Glengedale House is just totally fabulous and will probably spoil all your future B&B stays. Nowhere else can compare!

My wife and I happened upon the Glenegedale House a few years back, by luck. It was an absolutely lovely stay, with the warmest two people in the world. This time around we were luck enough to secure a room during the whiskey festival. This was by luck (a cancellation). Should you want to sray here during the festival, schedule well in advance. The house and rooms are beyond beautiful. The location is quite central. It's also right across from the airport so getting there is a breeze. But don't worry, there's not a bit of noise from it. The breakfasts they serve cannot be beat. The quality, freshness and taste of all their food is absolutely amazing. Make sure to order the porridge (with a side of Laphroaig). I really couldn't say enough kind things about Graeme and Emma or how wonderful a space they provide. If you happen to be on the island and are in need of lodgings, it would be difficult to beat Glenegedale House. Thank you!!!!

This was our second visit to Islay, not just because of the whiskies but because of our last stay at Glenegedale and this stay makes us want to come back for more. The warmth and humour of both Emma and Graeme, the lovely interior and most importantly the breakfasts. Graeme’s porridge with all the trimmings, a must try. I tried 4 of the options this time and all were delicious and beautifully presented. This time we had dinner twice, again taste and presentation beautiful. The extras such as arrival tea and wedge of cake add to the stay. Amazing place to stay.

Tips:

Try all the distilleries! Over 30 walks to try. And Cullen Skink at Ardbeg,from the food truck or even better at Kilchoman with a Sticky Toffee pudding to follow. We enjoyed the tastings at Laphroig ( nice touch of free coffee ) and Bunnahabhain the most although all the distilleries have friendly, engaging and knowledgeable staff. Some will offer a free dram.

Emma and Graeme’s guesthouse is a little gem! It’s worth visiting Islay just to stay here. I am not a whisky fan but my partner is and we both had an incredible stay on the island. Breakfast at Glenegedale House is quite an experience as is the 3 course dinner - all absolutely delicious. Huge portions! The wine list, gin list and whisky list (of course!) is also fabulous in the guesthouse. The decor is stunning and it’s a beautiful place to get a break away to live a life and see scenery which is so different from mainland Scotland. Would love to go back and can’t recommend this guesthouse highly enough. Thank you Emma and Graeme!

Tips:

Apart from the food at Glenegedale, we would recommend the Harbour Inn at Bowmore and the Ballygrant Inn. Both have excellent food drinks and hospitality.

Such a wonderful stay with such gracious hosts. Emma and Graeme greeted us in the afternoon with coffee and cakes and booked us a reservation at a local pub as they were not providing supper on the night we stayed. Our room was marvelous; quiet and comfortable. The breakfast seemed neverending. We just finished one course and Emma was bringing out another! Highly recommend putting some scotch in your porridge. Thanks again to Graeme and Emma for such a wonderful stay and for helping us out with travel arrangements. We'll recommend Glenegedale House to anyone we know visiting Islay; doesn't hurt it's a 10 minute drive to three different distilleries either!

Tips:

Book your ferry ticket in advance! And make sure you are there well ahead of time.

Amazing stay thanks to Emma and Graeme. Can’t rate this guesthouse highly enough. Nothing was too much trouble; everything- the food, the surroundings were sublime

Tips:

Enjoyed our meal at the Islay hotel when Emma on a night off cooking. Enjoyed our walk on the local beach, the Singing Sands and lighthouse and our ‘find’ on our last day- the walk to port Mhor. The Bruichladdich whisky tour was also fab thanks to Callum

I don't know why you would stay anywhere else on Islay. Glenegedale House is a gorgeous place to stay - from the quality of the linen and the beautifully decorated rooms to the exceptional breakfasts and expertly crafted drinks next to the fire in the evening - it makes a trip to this very special place even more special. I enjoyed my delicious vegan breakfasts just as much as my bacon-loving relatives - everything is homemade and superb quality. Graeme and Emma are consummate hosts, nothing is too much trouble but they do it with such grace and good humour, you feel like you are staying with friends. It was a family treat after a long two years and we felt richly spoiled by the experience.

Tips:

Graeme and Emma can give great advice on where to go based on what you like to do. Islay boasts spectacular beaches - Machir Bay, Saligo Bay and Claggain Bay were our favourites. The RSPB Reserve at Gruinart Loch is fabulous - go to Ardnave for the most beautiful sand dunes to a stunning coastline. The stunning views and warm welcome at Bunnahabhain Distillery is well worth the visit. The three distillery walk from Port Ellen is lovely. We loved the tour of Kilchoman Distillery where you can see the process from grain to glass. Even if you don't enjoy it's favourite export, the places and people of Islay will mean that you want to return...and to Glengedale House!

Graeme and Emma are wonderful hosts who “go the extra mile” to ensure that their guests are comfortable and feel at home. Their breakfasts and dinners are prepared and served with such care and love, using local quality produce where possible and are absolutely delicious. Their knowledge of the island is exceptional and this enables guests to fully embrace the island experience to its fullest.

Tips:

American monument is a must- scenery and history; Gruinart RSPB nature reserve- solitude with bird song being only sound; Islay Studios Bridgend- wonderful photography of places of interest on island and good coffee; Good meals in Islay Hotel (Port Ellen) and The Harbour Inn ( Bowmore).

Perfect location - right next to the airport and 5 minutes from Port Ellen ferry terminal. Beautiful, comfortable rooms which are well thought out with lots of little touches to make your stay comfortable. The hosts - Emma and Graeme take lots of care to ensure every guest has a great experience from the moment they arrive (to their tea and cake!). Breakfast is superb and we'd also recommend you stay in for dinner at least once - their menus provide the best of local Scottish produce and are beautifully cooked and generously proportioned! Emma and Graeme have a wealth of knowledge on what to do and see on Islay and happily help every guest to ensure they have a great experience. Can't recommend enough.

Tips:

So many things to do and see on Islay!! Lunch at Ardbeg distillery - the chowder is delicious! Or Kichoman Distillery's cafe - cullen skink! Walk to the American Monument, stroll along the beach at Machir Bay, visit the historic sites at Finlaggan, mooch around the shops in Bowmore - The Celtic House is a treasure trove! Explore the distilleries, visit Kildalton Cross - the list is endless!

Incredible stay at Glenegedale House. The breakfast was already outstanding and the dinner blew us away. I highly recommend indulging in meals while staying here. The beds were very comfortable, a perfect end to day of drinking scotch. The only feedback is that our room was a bit tight for two people.

Tips:

Absolutely have dinner at least one night at Glenegedale House. We stayed two nights with one full day of touring the island. We wish we had at least one more day. The warehouse tour at Laphroaig was the highlight of our visit.

It is easy to forget that Glenegedale is a B&B Guest House as the service delivered by both Emma and Graeme is that of one of the finest hotels we have ever stayed in. The thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity of both was so special and is such a rarity. It is they who make this fabulous stay so perfect and so magical. Personal touches such as thoughtful trays of tea and coffee in front of the fire to welcome us home during a stormy evening, quietly noting the way we both preferred our drinks and delivering thus. They have the talent to make everything so special and so much thought goes into everything they do. Always on hand to offer advice, making calls to help us with our journey, resolving issues for us with our transport and just going above and beyond. As with all aspects of Glenegedale, this first-class personalised service is on a par with, if not better, than the personal concierge services you would find in a superior 5 star hotel. There was no fuss, no noise, we were left in peace when we needed to be and yet the hosts were available when we needed help or a lovely chat with them. They have those rare gifts of making everyone feel cared for and create such a natural easy, cosy relaxing atmosphere which I know is a result of their enormous hard work behind the scenes. The most helpful, kind, thoughtful hosts we have ever known who do everything with a smile, this was a five star experience from start to finish and we do travel a great deal. We cannot recommend this beautiful place and its hosts more highly.

Tips:

We dined each night at Glenegedale which we couldn't recommend more highly - beautiful home cooked locally sourced food which was of 5 star restaurant quality in both taste and presentation including scallops hand dived just 2 hours earlier and sea salt from around the corner. We visited Laphroig, Lagavulin and Ardbeg distilleries which were fantastic, travelled around the island to the coastal areas, the woollen mill, the craft shop. We saw deer, seals and the landscape was stunning. It is the most friendly island you could come across - everybody waved, smiled and helped us and we felt so warmly welcome. Emma and Graeme told us stories and histories about the area and helped us to plan our days. Glenegedale and its home, Islay, radiate a genuine warmth which touches your heart; it will remain in our hearts forever.

Tips:

Distillery visits are obviously a must, but there is so much more to Islay than whisky. Beautiful beaches and landscape, nice little towns like Port Ellen, cute shops such as Celtic House in Bowmore. Take your time, take detours as you drive around to discover places that will not make it into your Lonely Planet. Go with the flow and pace of Islay, and simply relax.

This was our first time at Glenegedale House and boy it didn’t disappoint. Emma and Graeme are just delightful hosts, so friendly and welcoming. The tea, coffee and freshly baked goods on arrival is such a lovely touch. We stayed for 3 nights and had dinner on 2 occasions. The seafood platter was absolutely amazing, lobster landed at 5pm and on the plate by 7pm, can’t ask for fresher than that. The food at breakfast and dinner was out of this world. Our room was lovely and very comfortable. Some previous reviews comment on the pride Emma and Graeme take in what they do for their guests and its so true. They want everyone to enjoy their stay with them and their stay on Islay and will fully support and recommend other businesses on the island. On the COVID front, we both felt very safe staying at Glenegedale. Masks were worn around the building and everything is spotless. We enjoyed it so much we have booked stay again next year. Thanks very much to you both. Xx

Tips:

We visited a few of the distilleries and they didn’t disappoint. We also went to see Audrey at Islay Gin in Bridgend, highly recommend. We also went to see the American Monument at Mull of Oa. It’s a bit of a hike to get there but to read about what had happened and how the people of Islay helped was beautiful. The views are also stunning. The beaches we’d recommend are Machair Bay, Laggan Bay and Saligo Bay - all beautiful. We ate at the Islay Hotel on the recommendation of Emma and it’s was lovely.

Emma and Graeme are the perfect hosts and go the extra mile before and during your stay - ensuring that you have all the information you need to make the most of visiting Islay and providing a beautiful, comfortable and well equipped room with lots of lovely little touches to make it that little bit extra special - Tunnocks Caramel Wafers! Nom Nom! Breakfast and evening meals are superb and are an experience in themselves - you've just got to have the porridge 'Islay' style... A good choice of gins, wines and whiskys to keep us going in between distillery visits. Definitely 'the' place to stay" - we can't wait to book our next trip.

Tips:

So many places to see and things to do on the island - beautiful beaches, a great variety of distilleries to visit, great places to eat, local crafts and shops to get those special gifts and ancient monuments to visit!

We really enjoyed the distillery tastings, in particular at Kilchoman, Laphroaig and Bunnahabhain. The local bus was reliable and stops straight outside the guesthouse. We had to organise taxis with one of the companies beforehand and I think it might’ve been difficult without having planned this. Machir Bay beach was beautiful, if you get good weather.

Having a car for exploring is a must. Ate in quite a few different places and think the food at Glenegedale was the best. Ask the hosts for walk and drive suggestions to make the most of the island exploring.

From our arrival to our departure, you made us so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble and you gave us every help and assistance to make sure our first visit to Islay was a great success.

Tips:

Ask for the Seafood Platter. We have never enjoyed such a culinary special feast for quite some time and with only 24 hours' notice. Travel the length and breadth of the island - the views are outstanding and there is another one just round the corner. We visited Islay as part of an island hopping holiday where we were introduced to island living and got to start to understand why people love living on the islands.

Lovely warm welcome with coffee and cakes. Emma knew we only drank de-caff from the time we arrived. Suggested good places to visit and asked about our day when we returned. Excellent food both for dinner and breakfast. The porridge w cream and a splash of Laphroaig was a new experience but delicious. Good selection of wines, whiskies and Loch Fyne ales. Beautiful rooms with view of sea and airport. Interesting to see the occasional plane arriving from Glasgow. The location means it's handy for a short break via Glasgow.

Tips:

Isla is not blessed with good restaurants so I strongly suggest you (1) Book this b and B and (2) dine there. The food you will experience is much better than other options you will find elsewhere.

Finalggan was a cool place to visit and the old celtic cross past Ardbeg.

We had a fantastic 3 night stay at Glenegadale. Emma and Graeme are such nice people and wonderful hosts. They can't do enough to make sure your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The food is delicious, the venison we had on our first night stay was cooked to perfection. Breakfast didn't disappoint either, from the traditional Islay porridge, to the poached fruit and home baking, we enjoyed it all. We can't praise this delightful B&B and it's owners enough, it was a truly remarkable and memorable stay for us. We will be back!

Tips:

The Islay Sea-Adventure Wildlife tour is well worth adding to your itenary if you have the time. It is a 2 hour trip around the little bays of Islay, taking in panoramic views of some of the distilleries along the way. We were lucky enough to see porpoises, deer, seals and a golden eagle. The crew are so friendly and their knowledge is impressive.

Great location for exploring Islay; most points of interest were less than a 30 minute drive away. However, there isn't really anywhere to walk to in the immediate vicinity. Breakfast and dinner are amazing! Bring your appetite; Graham and Emma will feed you tons of delicious, mostly local food. Excellent selection of whiskies and gins too. The decor of the house is great and the beds comfy too.

Tips:

We focused mostly on walks, and really enjoyed the bluebell-carpeted forests on the coast north of Ardbeg, and the Ardknave circular walk, where you may be luckier than we were and spot an otter!

Owner Response:

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so happy you enjoyed your time here at Glenegedale House. Its such a shame you never got the chance to walk to the beach just one mile from our front door ....its seven miles of sand. I know one of the other guests shared a lot of their tips and you had great plans of your own but I wish I was able to have directed you to have a wander down the beach or through the trails behind us. Our daughter rides her highland pony up through the woods behind us ...theyre not obvious but literally three minutes from our front door. Ardnave is a beautiful walk as you mentioned and so is The Oa. As we chatted about Bunnahabhain is the best place for the otters. Next time... Emma

Five star is often over used but is fully deserved at Glenegedale House. Graeme and Emma were outstanding hosts and the food is superb, notably the magnificent seafood and charcuterie platters. Coupled with well chosen wines and a brilliant choice of gin and whisky (naturally) we went to bed very happy after wonderful trips around this beautiful Island. Bedrooms are excellent and the decor and furniture is first class. Honestly could not better our stay. Thank you. We will be back!

Amazing stay all round! My wife and I loved every minute of our two night stay. The best B & B we have ever stayed at. Loved the chocolate brownies and coffee on our arrival, my wife loves her finer things in life and I have to say she is singing all praises on this hidden gem of a B & B! The beautiful deco and the attention to detail took our breath away, very clean rooms, perfect China and all white and crispy linen. everything about Glenegendale is out of this world. Emma and Graeme are such a hardworking couple, nothing was too much trouble for Emma, we enjoyed the delious home baking we took away with us after every breakfast. Emma is a world class trip adviser, everything she told us about the island on where to visit was spot on, as it our first time to visit the island we were very impressed with the grass roots knowledge of Isle of Islay. Greame was very accommodative to my wife's dietary requirements, that made our stay easier and more relaxing. All in all a great and fabulous B & B, must stay at when in Islay!

Tips:

Our highlight of the visit was the boat trip and for the best experience ask to go on the smaller boat with the skipper Gus. He has a vast knowledge on the isla and more, we enjoyed a drum or two. Visit the Seasalt restaurant for some great seafood. We drove to Port Charlotte and the surrounding areas. We will be back definitely.

Tips:

From Glenegedale, Port Ellen and Bowmore are easily reachable by bus or taxi but your own transport will help get to other beautiful and less accessible parts of the island. Obviously any visitor to Islay must visit some of the nine distilleries and sample the best whiskey!

Very nice guest house with comfortable public lounges to relax in. Views over the small airport and to the sea beyond. Proprietors are the perfect hosts and have a wealth of local knowledge so can advise you on where to go, eat etc. Amazing breakfast sets you up for the day and in the evening you can partake of seafood or meat and cheese platters. The seafood is locally sourced and is of the highest quality. Rooms are comfortable with good quality linen on the beds and toiletries, hairdryer etc provided. Tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms to welcome you after a hard day's sightseeing!

Tips:

Plenty to do outdoors for cyclists, walkers etc. We opted to go cockling at Loch Gruinart. Cockles here are big and the flesh is plump and juicy. Bring your wellies and rakes! Also for whisky lovers, lots of distilleries to choose from. Many have shops and visitor centres with lovely views of the stunning scenery. A visit to Portnahaven, a lovely picturesque village, is to be recommended. We tried Sea Salt in Port Ellen for dinner one night and were not disappointed.

31st August 2020:

We came across a cancellation at Glenegedale during our week off and we’re lucky enough that we were accommodated. We had difficulties with our travel arrangements but Emma went the extra mile and beyond to make sure we could get there. We are grateful that she did because we had an amazing week. The B&B is located close to the airport with Bowmore and Port Ellen short drives. There is a nearby beach “the big strand” which is beautiful and often deserted. The B&B is immaculate. The house is beautiful and well kept with a slight vintage charm. Emma & Graeme are very welcoming and we were very comfortable in their company. They have a lot of knowledge of Islay and were able to give us excellent advice and ideas on how to occupy our time there. You would be forgiven for struggling to drag yourself out of the cozy bed, but once you do you are rewarded with one of the best breakfast experiences you will encounter. The dining tables are laid out with the attention to detail that the hosts pride themselves with. The dishes and silverware are beautiful and compliment the surroundings of the room. To start we were offered porridge and shown how it is best topped whilst on the island (I won’t spoil the surprise). You are also offered a cooked breakfast of choice, with high quality ingredients including eggs from the hosts’ hens. You are also offered granola, homemade jam & marmalade, and fruits. Everything served is perfect. They are extremely generous but you don’t need to worry about waste. Any scraps are fed to the animals. We took our freshly baked cupcakes with us to have later in the day, but there is an honesty box with a selection of cakes near the house. What we tried was delicious and you will find it hard not to treat yourself. Graeme and Emma could not have done more to make our holiday the best it could be. Our stay at Glenegedale House will be remembered for all the right reasons. It is a fine example of how guest accommodation should be.

Tips:

We followed the advice given by Graeme and Emma for to make best use of our time during our visit. Islay has many beautiful beaches and you are spoiled for choice. Machir Bay is my favourite of those that I have visited, but there are beaches on the south part of the island with calmer waters that are safe to enter if you can brave the cold. You will know of the distilleries on the island which are the main attraction for many. I would also recommend taking the boat over to Jura for a day. It is a more remote island but equally beautiful in its own way.

Emma & Graham are amazing hosts. Everything about our stay was simply wonderful. Glenegadale breakfasts are legendary - and justifiably so! Four courses. All locally produced and served with warmth and style. Make advance plans to sample a Glenegadale local seafood platter which was amazing value and quality. And to top it all - there is a whisky and gin room......both Emma and Graham have extensive knowledge and will help you find something to enjoy.

Tips:

Book an e-bike to see more of the island from Gordon at Islay e-wheels.

Some of the kindest most engaging people we've met in all our travels. Their welcoming nature was wonderfully complimented by their knowledge of the island and outstanding recommendations on where and how to go about exploring. Saving the best for last, the food was extraordinary. The seafood plate for dinner was incredible but the breakfasts were absolutely unmatched. I can't give a strong enough recommendation. We will no doubt return.

Tips:

See the whole island, each corner has something to offer. Bring hiking shoes even for simple touring just to be safe. Islay Woolen Mill has beautiful items, fascinating machinery and history, and, like the whole island, the nicest people (Marcus and Gordon). Eat the seafood and drink the scotch.

The perfect hosts and the perfect stay. We loved the personal touches and attention to detail, the fact that Emma and Graeme went above and beyond to help us and make our trip special, the absolutely incredible food!! Not to mention our comfortable room and the fantastic location of Glenegedale, the perfect base for exploring Islay.

Tips:

The best food we had was at Glenegedale with the seafood platter and charcuterie, we also really enjoyed Sea Salt at Port Ellen and the Port Charlotte Hotel. Our highlights for places to visit were the many beaches but particularly the 7-mile stretch of beach near Glenegedale, walking the hills of Jura, visiting the gin distillers and whisky distilleries that were open during our stay. Finlaggan was also a highlight and the Museum of Islay Life was great for learning more about Islay’s history and heritage.

My son and I have just stayed here two nights to celebrate his 30th Birthday. We both had a great time, at the hotel and on the island. We received a very warm welcome, and the owners were very helpful with planning our trips out. We visited two distilleries, great beaches including the one opposite the hotel. We also went over to Jura to Lussa Gin as another suggestion from Emma. Great gin, bought three bottles. We ate out at the Sea Salt one night and Charlotte Hotel the other, both very good. Also went to Portnahaven which is definitely worth a visit. The hotel is very well furnished. Three lounges to relax in, which was a lot for four bedrooms. Lovely twin room number 3. Breakfast is one of the best I’ve had, with plenty of choice. You may see cheaper places on websites, but this was worth every penny.

Tips:

The quality, selection and service of food for breakfast was excellent, as was the Seafood Platter. Interesting views of the airport, sea and evening sunsets. Emma and Graeme were lovely hosts. We were made welcome and particularly enjoyed relaxing by the fire. Our room was maybe small but we were very comfortable. This is a very well kept establishment.

Tips:

We are particularly interested in the history of the Island, the ruined churches and their grave yards. The flora and fauna. The villages with their own special charm and of course the distilleries! To us, Islay has its own magical charm! We would recommend a meal at Islay House, also the Pizza restaurant in Bowmore.

We are so very grateful to Emma and Graeme for the most wonderful time that we spent at their house. They took such good care of us. Everything was perfect: from the first tea and cake that they welcomed us with to the last afternoon that we comfortably spent in the lounge (very generous tea and cake again!) long past the checkout time. They made reservations for dinner for us and took us back when our ferry was cancelled and called the port for us. Their breakfasts are amazing and stylish, Emma’s soaked fruit are to die for. We will for long remember our warm and cozy evenings by the fire place with tea (under 18) and whiskey (over). Such a lovely family! Wishing every success to Cameron at the Uni and health and prosperity to all!!!

Enjoy every second of your stay and leave a room vacant for us -so that we can come back!

Liebe Emma, wir waren 4 wundervolle Tage bei Dir und Du hast uns rundherum umsorgt. Bereits vor Monaten hast Du uns tatkräftig bei der Umsetzung unserer Pläne unterstützt und vieles erst möglich gemacht. Dies ist nicht selbstverständlich! Dein Haus ist geprägt von einer Liebe zum Detail und erlesenem Geschmack. Für Romantiker wie uns war es ein Genuss morgens bei Deinem hervorragendem Frühstück (natürlich mit Porridge und Bowmore) und klassischer Musik den Sonnenaufgang über dem Meer zu genießen, um dann nach unseren Destillerie Besuchen abends in Deinem Kaminzimmer zu entspannen. Es war wie ein „Nach-Hause kommen“. Unser Zimmer war gemütlich und kuschelig. Die Betten sehr bequem. Wir bedanken uns sehr für die schöne Zeit und werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. Verena und Oliver

I honestly cannot say enough good things about this place. Emma was an absolute wonder. So friendly and chatty and hospitable that you really felt like you were visiting an old friend. The rooms were super clean and seemed newly renovated / furbished and had everything you needed. The living room was so cozy we stayed up for hours reading, sipping on whisky and hanging out truly feeling at home. Last but not least, hands down one of the BEST BREAKFASTS I've ever had - porridge with cream, brown sugar and whisky AND delicious local smoked salmon with eggs not to mention home baked muffins. Seriously - if you're going to Islay, PROMISE ME YOU WILL STAY HERE.

Tips:

You really need a car to get around the island . There are buses but not too frequent. There are no places to have a meal except Bowmore which is nearest but no later buses. If you are a whisky lover there are plenty distilleries to visit but you would really need to have transport. In good weather it would be a nice place for walking etc.

Glenegedale House is not just a property, a B&B, or a hotel, it is a truly extraordinary experience. We arrived during a rainstorm and were greeted by Emma, who quickly ushered us into the house with fresh coffee and cakes. Immediately we felt welcomed and part of their Islay family. Breakfast is a food lovers heaven: homemade fruit compote, fresh breads, slow-cooked porridge with cream and a “special ingredient,” and a long menu of specialties. We ate dinner at the House twice, first with an incredible meat/cheese charcuterie, and second with an even more stunning selection of fresh seafood. Emma’s presentation of the platters was delightful, she told us they try to source everything locally. I told her she should video tape the presentations, it’s the best marketing for Islay one could ever imagine! Definitely 5-star in presentation, service, and quality.

Tips:

The House itself outshines the amazing pictures you see online. The sitting areas are beautifully appointed with comfortable sofas and antiques. There are 4 guest rooms, ours was the king overlooking the courtyard and hills beyond. The room included a large wardrobe with a range of amenities and the en-suite was small but modern. Loved the pillows, and the sheets were incredibly soft. The House is centrally located with easy access across the island. Graeme introduced us to Heather with Bauld’s private hire tour service, who helped us explore Islay - something you must do. Thank you, we can’t wait to come back!

Tips:

Islay is a beautiful island, and we enjoyed exploring it, stopping off occasionally for whisky tasting at the various distilleries on the island The owners suggested that we do a day trip to Jura, which is the neighbouring island. We really enjoyed taking the short ferry crossing, and were surprised at how different it is from Islay- very undeveloped and with only around 100 residents.

Owner Response:

Thank you for taking time to write your review for your stay with Graeme and I at our Five Star Gold bed and breakfast Glenegedale house on Islay. We are so glad you enjoyed our service and cleanliness. You are right as per our website and all listings we do not allow dogs to stay in Glenegedale House. We do however have a self catering cottage where we welcome dogs by prearrangement. As you mentioned we did not know you had a dog travelling with you until you asked just days before your stay where was the best place for dog grooming on the island of Islay. At the time of booking you mentioned you would prefer a bath and we explained that we do not have baths instead we have double showers in the en suites of each room. We also suggested an alternative property that sounded like it would suit your needs better. We are so glad however you enjoyed your stay with us and the fruit, porridge, baking and cooked breakfast each morning along side the charcuterie and cheese platter you enjoyed with some soft drinks as you choose not to use our wine list or indeed the 100 scottish gins and whisky list in the evenings. We source these all from the most amazing suppliers in Scotland and are so incredibly proud of what we do here to make all our guests have the perfect stay. It was lovely to chat with you and help plan your day out with you and help you find the very best bits of Islay.

Tips:

If you like countryside, the atmosphere surrounding by animals is very nice to stay

Very friendly, informative, personal and just a lovely experience. Great attention to detail from saying you can get fresh milk in your room and delicious breakfast. Special porridge with local whisky. Stewed and fresh fruits difficult to choose from. My favourite was the plums. Muffins which we took away were just absolutely delicious, would love the recipe but could also be due to the newly laid eggs!

Tips:

The seafood platter was decadent and delicious, just amazing, never had anything like it before. The beaches around Islay are Incredible and even on hot sunny day not busy, Machine, Saligo and the Big Strand worth looking at. Mull of Or I teresting, wonderful wild flowers and wildlife. Are have point and beaches worth the effort to see too. Hard to find cake and coffee but distilleries and Islay House all tasty. Distilleries I am sure worth visiting, went to Cail Ila but it only open at 1pm due to refurbishment. 5 tastes of cask whisky, need designated driver! Very informative. Beautiful Island, loved and hope to come back again some day.

After our visit here in June 2019 we learned that Glenegedale House is a very special place. Graeme and Emma run it with the utmost care! Warm and welcoming, you will feel at home not long after you step through the door. The preparation and presentation of breakfast is wonderful and a perfect way to start your day. Dining on an amazing and delicious morning meal while gazing out of the windows at the views of the sheep meadow, across to the airport, the Atlantic, and on a clear day Ireland! Do not pass on the porridge,and prepare it exactly as Emma tells you! The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, perfect for retiring to for rest and relaxation after a long day of exploring Islay. The parlors downstairs are very cozy and inviting, just the place to sit with a wee dram in the evening and plan your next day. Thank you Emma and Graeme for an unforgettable stay!

Tips:

Tap into Graeme and Emma's vast knowledge of the island, all you have to do is ask and they will provide perfect details of where to go, what to see and exactly how to get there. Visit the bookshelf in the parlor for an extensive collection of maps, guidebooks and more! You can take them with you for the day. They will also make recommendations on where to dine and are more than happy to make reservations for dinner at any of the many great restaurants. There is so much to see and do but not miss the Mull of Oa and the walk to the American Monument for breathtaking views. Visit Finlaggan, Loch Gruinart, Kildalton Cross and of course one or more of the many distilleries!

Hosts were absolutely lovely and considerate, eager to please, offer advice, and professional. We quite enjoyed our stay, breakfast was outstanding, location was convenient for bus, small island airport, east to drive to If arriving by ferry. Our room was comfortable, well appointed, clean, and included en suite bathroom.

Tips:

If like us you’re visiting distilleries but don’t want to drive, there is a bus stop literally on the edge on the property. The hosts have great local knowledge and were more than happy to make suggestions and provide info. The Laphroaig tour/distillery was by far the best of the big three near Port Ellen. Wifi/network connectivity can be an issue, but that’s can be an issue for the entire island, not just this location. Plan ahead and you’ll be great, otherwise just be patient and you’ll still get what you need.

Our host and hostess went out of their way to help us make the best of our time on Islay, and the breakfast was the best we had anywhere during our two week stay in the UK. (We’re still talking about the porridge!) We’re looking forward to staying there again.

Tips:

The food at the Islay Hotel was also great. We enjoyed watching weaving take place at the Islay Woolen Mill. Of course, the distillery tours were a joy. Our advice is give yourself an extra day or two. You will love Islay!

The hosts were wonderful, friendly and accommodating. The property was clean. It felt like I was staying in a friend’s house, not a hotel. A friend who just happens to cool an amazing breakfast every morning! At first I didn’t understand why they needed to know when I was checking in, but now I realize it’s because transportation around the island is limited and they were just looking out for my well-being. Thanks so much Graeme and Emma! I will definitely stay with you again!

Tips:

The property is right next to the Islay Airport bus stop. That’s important because there is nothing else around except beautiful nature. So if you want to eat out or get groceries you’ll have to plan for it because the location is smack in the middle of Bowmore and Port Ellen. But as an escape, it’s pretty great. And definitely say yes to the porridge!!

The rooms are so comfortable and the communal areas beautifully finished and relaxing. Above all, the hosts are excellent. Both Graeme and Emma are attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. They were happy to phone ahead to distilleries, give us ideas for itineraries and make recommendations for other places to visit and eat. If we go back to Islay, we won’t stay anywhere else!

I will certainly be recommending it to my friends and hope to return in the future.

Islay is great for bird and wildlife watching. In our two days we had the expected large flocks of geese but also golden eagles and many other species. We saw seals, deer and an otter.

The breakfast is to die for, I normally go for the traditional Scottish, however, whatever your choice your needs will be met.

Henkilökunta oli todella ystävällistä ja ruoka herkullista. Aamupala ehdottomasti hintansa väärti. Lisäplussana vielä, että huoneessa oli lämmin, mikä ei aina ole varmaa varattaessa majoitusta Skotlannista. Lämpimät suositukset, tänne tullaan varmasti toistekin! ----- Clean and beautifully decorated place with a wonderful location right next to the sea, quite close to the ferry (Port Ellen) and the airport. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Also food was delicious (I really recommend taking the breakfast). On top of other things the room was nice and warm, which is not always the case when staying in Scotland. Definitely going to visit this place again!

We had the most wonderful few days at Glenegedale House - a more perfect place to stay is hard to imagine. We were made to feel so welcome by Graeme and Emma - the most wonderful hosts; always available but never intrusive. The breakfasts were totally scrumptious and so generous. The house is absolutely beautiful and our room was gorgeous; everywhere was spotless and so thoughtfully decorated with comfortable rooms for guests to use. Plenty of piping hot water, soft towels and lovely toiletries. Islay is beautiful and our stay was well and truly topped off by staying at Glenegedale House - we shall return. Many thanks.

Tips:

The Islay Hotel in Port Ellen was great for supper as was the hotel in Port Charlotte. The Peatzeria in Bowmore was good and the Ardbeg Distillery cafe was also delicious. The Oa was magnificent and the lifeboat at Port Askaig was great. We loved the variety of lighthouses and wonderful expanses of sandy beaches.

There is nothing I could fault about Glenegedale House - everything about it is exceptional: the service, the food, the facilities, but most importantly, the people who run it (Graeme and Emma) are wonderful. We will definitely be back one day.

Tips:

Laphroaig Water to Whisky tour was incredible, but book in advance. The three distilleries walk and tours of the others are also well worth it (you’re in Islay after all!). But a definite must-do is to have your porridge at Glenegedale House “the Scottish way”. Just ask!

Communication with Emma & Graeme before arrival excellent. we were greeted by Graeme & Emma, Pot of fresh Coffee, Tea & Home Made Raspberry Cake, incredible, this hospitality continued throughout our stay. The location's great, 3 or 4 flights at the A/P across the Road (excellent if you fly in), it was so tranquil & quiet. Communal lounges are very comfortable & homely, we made good use of them getting to know fellow guests. Rooms are very comfortable, all with different views of the Island. Every area of Glenegedale House was immaculately, my Wife is very house proud, she felt so comfortable in this lovely welcoming clean home away from home. A spaciouse Dinning area but still cosy enough to enjoy other Guests company if desired, we meet a lovely couple on the first night at pre Dinner Drinks which made our stay even more pleasurable. We asked if we could Dinner at the House, bear in mind this is a B&B, we'd heard mention of a set meal, cold spread of locally produced delights, as we say, 'Ifits, if its in the Fridge you can have it'. We were served with a cold spread of amazing Food, Hot Smoked & Smoked Salmon, Pheasant & Venison Pie, various Cured Meats, three Cheeses & Basket of Home Baked Bread, fantastic & incredible don't do it justice. Breakfast consisted of more excellently prepared local Foods (Eggs from the Family Chickens), Porridge, Brown Sugar, Whisky & Cream, 22 different Fruits both fresh & in Dressings, plus Cereal, Yoguart etc. We would recommend staying here without any hesitation what soever! Thank you both so much!

Tips:

Stay longer, Drive and Walk to see as much as you can of Islay and Dura, don't forget to Wave to other Road users, especially if they pull over for you on tight Roads. Visit at least one distillery and take home some local Spirit and hospitality, and I don't just mean the Drink.

Tips:

Located about 8-10 minutes from town; even though across from the airport, noise was never an issue.

There is very little to say when this is probably one of the best, if not the best two nights stay we have ever had in a B&B (although they offer much more)! We have traveled to more than 100 countries, stayed in all sorts of accommodation and had such a variation of receptions, Graeme and Emma made us feel at home within minutes of Walking through the Door, unbelievable, thank you.

Tips:

Emme and Graeme offer a cold plater (actually served on part of a Whisky Barrel) for an Evening meal consisting of locally produced delicacies not to be missed.

Emma and Graeme are perfect hosts. Very generous , entertaining and make every effort to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfasts and the baking are incredible. The house is very tastefully decorated and lovely fresh flowers add a charming touch to the place. We also very much enjoyed the food platter made up of the best Scottish fare and great wine. we would highly recommend the place for anyone looking for a special out of the usual treat.

excellent attention to giving guests a first class experience of Islay and Scotland The best breakfast I have ever had - local produce beautifully prepared - ample fresh produce and all served with a fine dinning approach, with silver service feel

Tips:

If you are looking for a unique Scottish experience - beautifully relaxed guest house with Scottish flair and celebrating Islay Life then this is definitely the place to stay Much better value and service than some of the more expensive hotels. I have recommended this to friends who are vegetarian or who like local fresh produce as the breakfast selection would suit every taste. The trick would be not to over eat.

Such an amazing B&B! We stayed at 2 other B&Bs on our trip to Scotland and this one was my favorite. The breakfast was really delicious and the views from our room were outstanding. The little airport is fun to watch too. We slept with our windows open and enjoyed listening to the sheep so much that we had trouble sleeping in other accommodations because we missed the sounds of the sheep! If you’re looking for a delicious and relaxing evening meal, ask Emma about doing a stave meal one evening. The food is Devine and was our favorite dinner during our entire stay on Islay - do this especially if you’re having trouble getting your summer dinner reservations! With gracious hosts and an easy drive to every distillery on Islay, we cannot recommend this bed and breakfast enough.

Tips:

Wearhouse demo at Lagavulin, the ArdBIG Tour, the American Monument to enjoy the views (a bit of hike so wear very comfortable clothes and shoes), go to Bunnahabhain (even if you don’t visit the distillery the views of the Isle of Sound and Paps of Jura are worth it), must go see Kidalton Cross (the history is phenomenal and the drive is pretty)

The house is really well presented with plush, comfortable furnishings in the lounge areas and crisp linen table cloths in the dining room with views out to the sea. The rooms are very clean and well appointed. The stave plate is a unique presentation of ethically sourced meat, fish and cheese and is available to pre book for dinner, it is delicious. Breakfast is fabulous with enormous choice. Graeme and Emma clearly work very hard to ensure every guest has a special stay.

Tips:

Hire a car. I pre booked to collect from the airport on arrival. There is so much to see and a car is the best way to do that. Take a trip to the monument at the Mull of Oa. It’s an easy walk of about a mile in each direction from the car park. Stunning monument equalled by the coastline views. There are stunning beaches all around the island. Kildalton Cross is worth a visit as is the museum of Islay life in Port Charlotte, not forgetting the distilleries! Food at the Islay hotel is good.

Graeme and Emma are the epitome of wonderful hosts: friendly, helpful, conscientious, genuine folks. The House is very well appointed with many thoughtful amenities that probably reflect the hotel management background of the hosts. The breakfast has deservedly won awards since it includes a buffet with a huge number of fruit options (how can they get that on Islay?) and the hot breakfasts are superb with a freshly made pastry and home made bread on the side. We had one dinner when we arrived late one night and it also was delicious. We were amazed that this couple does everything themselves, with a smile! We would love to have stayed longer just to get to know them better. Initially, I was concerned since it is near the airport but the planes only fly twice per day so they do not disturb sleep. The bedroom and bathroom were highly comfortable and there are several sitting rooms downstairs stocked with many books, maps, whisky and hiking advice, etc. I can not recommend a guest house more highly.

Tips:

The hike to the American Monument was really special. Caution for those with younger or not very heavy adults since the wind was dangerously strong! We enjoyed the Islay Hotel in Port Ellen for a low key dinner. Of course, the distilleries are fabulous with Laphroag and Lagavulin being our favorite tours and tastings!

The finest guest house that we have stayed in ever! Considering its location, the range of menu at breakfast was almost miraculous. Excellent cuisine, perfect hosts, immaculately furnished and exceptionally comfortable. It fully deserves all the accolades heaped upon it.

Bistro in Port Ellen was very good - Hotel less so for evening meals. Good new pizza place in Bowmore has food at sensible prices and a good atmosphere. Distilleries are legendary but recommend the RSPB reserve at Gruinart; the Isaly Museum at Port Charlotte and the church at Kilchoman for insightful experiences.

Breakfast was generous and offerred a super spread of different foods. I especially liked the home made touches.

Graham and Emma were the most wonderful hosts. We felt immediately at home, and our room was so very comfortable that it was the best two night's sleep during our travels to Scotland. The bed and bedding felt luxurious. The room was extremely well appointed, with every attention to detail. Graham and Emma both participated in preparing the most delicious breakfast that was beautifully served with a very complete table setting. Emma set out the most beautiful display of fruit - both cooked and fresh - in the breakfast room, followed by a choice of full breakfast, deliciously prepared! The Glenegedale House was preferable to any hotel experience we have ever had. Graham and Emma are warm, gracious people with a beautiful B&B that is more like an inn, in a beautiful setting that is well located to anything you would like to do on the Isle. The experience was truly memorable and very special.

Tips:

We took the Water to Whiskey Experience tour at Laphroaig - highly recommend! We also had dinner at the Port Charlotte hotel which was wonderful and memorable, as well.

Excellent guest house with excellent service with the biggest breakfast choice I have ever seen. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. I will be returning.

Tips:

This B&B is across from the 'airport' which is handy if flying from island. There are very few planes fly a day so no disturbance at all.

Graeme and Emma gave us such a wonderfully warm welcome. Nothing was too much trouble - supplying everything from maps, books, binoculars, homemade cakes on a daily basis and local inside knowledge. They were so attentive and so helpful. And Glenegedale House itself was beautifully comfortable - a glorious home from home.

Tips:

We loved the seafood platter at Lochindaal Hotel followed by live music at the Port Charlotte Hotel. We'd also recommend the Distillers' Wares tour at Laphroig Distillery and a visit to Kilchoman is also lovely... The food and location at the Bistro at Port Mor is also surprisingly superb.

Emma's home is beautiful, comfortable, well kept, and includes great amenities. The hosts are delightful and helpful. The breakfast was one of the most extensive and best tasting of all of our stays, and included a number of home-made delights. Highly recommended.

Tips:

The restaurant/bar at the Lochside Hotel in Bowmore, as recommended by our hosts, is well worth a visit. The food is delicious, and the selection of single malt whiskey (primarily from Islay) at the bar is by far the most extensive that we encountered anywhere in Scotland.

The attention to detail was astounding; the quality of the the service was second to none. The proprietors were incredibly friendly, very proactive and extremely knowledgeable. We so enjoyed our short stay and wished that we could have stayed for longer. We would recommend Glenegedale House in a heartbeat and will definitely be returning.

Tips:

Ask Graeme and Emma in advance and they will book everything for you. Alternatively wait until you get there and if you are not sure, they can tell you "what is hot and what is not". The menu at Islay Hotel in Port Ellen was all very enticing and the food did not disappoint. Any of the distilleries; all are different in their own way. The Woollen Mill, just by Bridgend was amazing and well worth a visit.

A 5 star rating for a 5 star B&B! Graeme and Emma were so friendly and welcoming from the beginning which made their already beautiful home all the better to stay in! We will definitely be coming back to stay in the Glenegedale, thank you for a wonderful holiday. What a beautiful island to get engaged on! - Sam and Katy

Tips:

Graeme and Emma will provide you with a list of local restaurants on the island and they will also recommend places to try, we loved every meal we had and highly recommend the seafood platter in Port Charlotte at Lochindaal. We loved visiting the Islay woollen mill and came away with some beautiful things. The distilleries were also great to visit and we enjoyed our tour of Laphroaig. If you can find Port an Eas beach you won't be disappointed, it is one of the prettiest places I have ever been.

We had an amazing stay at the Glenegedale House. Graeme and Emma are so nice and helpful with everything (helping with reservations, directions, hours of places opening, answering our silly questions with how to pronounce names of places.......) Highly recommend staying here! And breakfast.....YUMMM!!! Like so many other reviews the porridge was so good (I don't like whisky) but, it was amazing with the sauce that the pears are in!!!!!!

Tips:

Make reservations for restaurants ahead of time! They do book up fast. And plan ahead for getting gas on Sundays (there not open or close really early)

Tips:

Distilleries; drive around to see the beautiful island; go to Portnahaven, see the sheep and the Highland Cattle. Restaurants: Yan's, Lochside restaurant; Old Kiln Cafe at Ardbeg distillery. Wonderfully hospitable and kind local people and fellow travelers.

Our stay at Glenegedale House was as good as we expected it to be. We very much appreciated the excellent zucchini cake and coffee which was offered to us on arrival. The breakfasts were superb, the beds comfy, and sitting areas very comfortable. Emma gave us some ideas of where to go re my family tree research and was very helpful in every way. Loved all the fresh flowers in the downstairs area. Overall it was a very delightful 4 nights.

Graeme and Emma are such a lovely couple and their guesthouse is absolutely gorgeous! My friend Joanna and I came earlier than our arrival time, but were still checked in when they came home and even offered tea and cake upon arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Islay and wouldn't hesitate to come back!

Tips:

We were originally in Islay to do a whisky tour of the Lagavulin distillery, but were happy to discover so many other beautiful scenic gems on the island! We'd definitely recommend doing some exploring! We loved visiting the Islay Old Woolen Mill run by Mr. Gordon Covell who gave us a little tour and sells gorgeous lambswool scarves, blankets, throws, caps, and jackets! We also enjoyed stopping by the farmlands that buttress the rocky beaches and going on spontaneous hikes. Island life is easy to get used to!
