10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"Located within view of the Bruichladdich Distillery, at the end of a small Cul de sac with a nice garden and great views. Amenities were as advertised, clean, and generally very well equipped. Perfect bolthole for our short Islay whisky trip for our group of 4 friends. A touch on the small side for 4 large men sharing rooms, but it worked and everything went very smoothly. Key collection was simple, TV, Cooker, Fridge etc... all in working order. A nice welcome pack explained some local...
