I was on Islay as part of a Scotch Whisky tour in mid-May 2012, and fortunately for me, my tour guide booked me a room for 2 nights at Bowmore House.

The beds were super comfortable, the bathroom had separate tub and shower, and there was even a flat screen tv (though I think we only turned it on once... More

Stopped at the bowmore house in march 2012. The welcome from Alison and Andrew was really friendly after our bike ride over from Port Askaig. We had home made cakes and tea before going up to our large room with magnificent views over Loch Indaal. The room was very clean with en suite large bath and shower room. Superb breakfasts... More
