Within the hotel, the public bar offers a traditional welcome. Its normal beers and spirits are complemented with a malt whisky trail, including the malts which have made the island of Islay famous throughout the world. Games feature in the bar, with the provision of a pool table, darts and pool competitions.

If you want to venture out there's plenty to entertain you. Visit the oldest working mill in Britain, take a boat tour along Islay's southern coast past distilleries and watch out for wildlife. There are 7 distilleries on the island producing some very distinctive and unique malts. At the end of May each year, Islay holds FEIS ILE - the festival of Malt and Music. This will provide you with music, dance, entertainment and special whisky tours.

Islay has some breathtaking beaches and many bays and coves to explore the rocky shoreline. There are many areas where the seals congregate, and you can also spot whales and dolphins off the coast too.

If that's all too much for you relax with a game of golf, bowling, fishing or take in some scenery on a pony trek or a cycle. At the end of the day visit the sauna in the local leisure centre to steam away all your aches and pains. Enjoy!
