The Bridgend Hotel in Islay is pleasant enough but it is hardly in the sort of luxury category that would justify charging £120 per night for a double room and £70 for a single. During our visit in August 2008 we decided to shorten our stay and gave notice of this on arrival --which appeared to have been accepted in... more

A hotel to be recommended. Very nice rooms and a lovely atmosphere. Excellent food both breakfast and dinner. Please note that there is almost nothing to do in Bridgend but it is very centrally located on Islay more

The location of the Bridgend hotel was perfect for the distillery tours we took on Islay. We spent 2 nights there, after arriving on the ferry in Port Askaig. The hotel is located about 10 minutes from the ferry, within easy driving distance of Kilchoman (new distillery), Bruichladdich, Caol Ila, Bunnahabhain, and Bowmore. During our stay, we also took a... more

My wife and I spend 3 nights at the Bridgend hotel. The hotel is near the centre of the island but there is not much else in the area, a supermarket and bowling green. The accomodation was clean and tidy and the room, although not large, was adequate. The food (both breakfast and dinner) was very good, a fair choice... more

We stopped in at The Bridgend Hotel for lunch one gray day in May whilst we were staying on Islay. The hotel couldn't have been more different than the weather outside. We were warmly welcomed by the lovely blonde lady behind the bar, and the general atmosphere amongst the staff and customers was inviting and convivial, with lots of humour... more

The staff were helpful and pleasant and we were allowed to keep our room free of charge until... more

Food was very good and varied and you can eat in the cosy bar (log fire) or the very large dining room (where you also take breakfast). Room we had was in front but the road very quiet at night except for the occasional geese flurry - which was one reason we were there, so no complaints! My wife does... more

I have often stayed at the Bridgend Hotel on business trips to Islay and always had good service. All the rooms that I have been in have been fine. The dining room is a bit and bare but I always eat in the bar which is cosy and warm with a open fire usually. Food is always excellent. (If the... more

Can highly recommend The Bridgend Hotel, Islay, after a recent stay. The hotel lies a few miles south of Port Askaig ferry terminal and is well situated for any excursions on this lovely island. The room was very clean and the staff were excellent, with an understanding of what good service is all about! The restaurant was being re-decorated during... more
