Comfortable hotel with nice traditionally furnished rooms and comfortable beds. The breakfast was great, choices from Scotish to continental, and the food in the restaurant was also very good. Everyone was very nice, service was impeccable, thank you all! Perfect location for visits all over Islay, and of course you need a car. Enough parking space is available.

Room was rather small but still comfortable. Reservation in the restaurant is highly recommended, always busy, especially the pub in the evening. These are only minor points, but the only thing that was really difficult for us: there is no ventilation in the bathroom and the bathroom windows cannot be opened.

Nice little hotel / pub / restaurant. Food was good.

Party noise to well past 1am. Staff didn't cope well with an extra guest for dinner while servicing a party of about 10 and another small group.

Our room was a compact double but had everything we needed and the bed was super comfy. It was at the back of the hotel so very peaceful. We lloved the comfort and homely feel , the garden was a lovely bonus and ideal place to relax with a drink. The full Scottish breakfast was one of the best we've ever had accompanied by delicious coffee and pastries . There is free parking and pets are welcome . Our evening meals were great , eaten in the bar with pooch . Plenty of nice choices 👌

We were made so welcome and felt very comfortable. There were the occasional hiccups and things not available on the menu but honestly nothing to concern us at all and would have no hesitation in recommending a stay here. We will definitely return .

The building is on the old side but it's part of its charm, the only downside is the hallway creaking when someone leaves early. The staff was great, the breakfast has got something for everyone, I loved the smoked haddock as something I don't get at home. There is a bar and restaurant which we didn't get a chance to use and that's it. A few local crafts and artisans a little up the road, and Bowmore is 2 1/2 miles away not on a pedestrian-friendly road so I'd hesitate booking there if you don't have a car or hired driver. With a car, we loved the quiet central location on the island.

It was more expensive than we wanted to spend

Our room was lovely, spacious and comfortable. The bar and dining area were also very nice. The food we had, especially for dinner was very good and service excellent. The Manager Ian went out of his way to help us after our car ferry crossing was cancelled. Our stay in Islay was much better due to him helping us get a hire car!

Hotel is definitely a great choice it you really need some transport. We’d have liked a separate sort of bar area, some of the bar and dining were a bit mixed but this was I think due to the popularity of their very good food and it was nicely set out.

The breakfasts were very good, with a cold table and a choice of cooked dishes. The Eggs Benedict were good! I had a dinner in the hotel five nights, and I enjoyed these as well. The location of the hotel at Bridgend is well placed for exploring the island. Th

These are minor complaints, but I felt that there was no drawer storage in my room, and the range of teas/ coffees within the room could be improved. Bearing in mind that I was a solo traveller occupying a double room, these could become a source of irritation.

Excellent location and food delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful. They couldn’t do more for us. Everyone always cheerful and smiling. The bill was exactly right requiring no dispute.

Bathroom needed shelving to save frequent reaching on floor- there is space for a unit. Wardrobe needs lower rail as short people, like us, find height difficult. Rail for hangars needs left to right for easier access to clothes. These small problems did not spoil the holiday.

We loved our stay at Bridgend Hotel! The staff were so welcoming. It felt like a traditional Scottish hotel with tartan carpet and beautiful artwork. The room was spacious, the ensuite too. Great vegetarian breakfast with veggie haggis! It’s centrally located, within easy driving distance of the distilleries and beautiful scenery. The hotel arranged a taxi when we were both doing a tasting at Lagavulin. Islay is stunning, I can’t wait to return. I would highly recommend Bridgend Hotel!

Nothing

Breakfast was wonderful. Choice of Continental or hot breakfast. Staff was extremely friendly and polite. Perfectly located near the center of Islay making it easy to get to whichever destination we needed to go. Though we had the "small" room, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was plenty large.

Katie's bar is fun! However if your room is just above it, it's quite loud until 10 or 11pm.

It was a very comfortable stay, all the staff were so friendly and the food delicious - we didn’t have a car so restaurant options were limited (as the bus service runs every 2 hours!), but it was easy for us to eat in-house and the food was great! The bus stop is directly outside the hotel which was very convenient.

Having said that about the food, my only gripe is that the eggs served at breakfast were disappointing. Our poached eggs were more like hard-boiled eggs, and scrambled eggs were much too dry.
