Bowmore Hotel Restaurant in Argyll & Bute

A very nice hotel.Rooms have just been done up, it seems; facilities are great, it's well maintained & everything was laid out for us ready when we arrived. The host was there ready for us gave us a good explanation what was what.Overall a great place to stay.

Nice lunch menu, good beers and an unbelievable range of whiskies

My girlfriend and I cam for NY day and the service was great.Food was all home cooked with a separate NY menu and was very reasonably priced...also tasted great.We also loved the selection of whisky with a free nip on arrival.We will definitely be coming back when we're back on Islay!

Perfect place to stay after a hard day's work. Food is top class and staff are very helpful and friendly.

Different gravy,,,, best pint of morreti, food on another level, special mention to Islay for the beef olives. Definitely be back.

Brilliant pub and restaurant, the locals were great fun. Fabulous whisky selection and good local beer

This review is for the bar/restaurant.We visited for lunch twice during our week in Islay and were very pleased both times.Firstly a party of five adults and then as a couple.Hidden gem of a place on Jamieson Street and someone has gone to a lot of trouble designing commissioning and building the lovely natural wood features in the rooms.A warm welcome and friendly service and a decent selection of dishes for a lunch menu, including daily specials.The local crab salad and the Thai green curry were highlights, although no poor plate was put down for us.Would thoroughly recommend.

Terrible experience. They didn't have one of the two rooms we had booked well in advance. Owner was pretty unapologetic about the situation and, when my friend wasn't immediately happy with his solution to drive them to a friend's house, he kicked us out on the street and berated us for a while about how things are done on the islands and how us city people don't understand etc. As someone whose family is from the Hebrides and has spent a lot of time there, I can tell you this is not a common occurrence. The islands are very friendly in general and so is most of Islay. Just not the Bowmore Hotel.

I had the pleasure of visiting Bowmore for a couple of days. I would seriously recommend this place for excellent food and a huge selection of whisky. The staff are amazing, so friendly and helpful, this is without a doubt one of the best places I have had the opportunity to eat for a while. 👍

Would recommend this hotel to anyone. We were made to feel very welcome and all staff were friendly and helpful. Food and service excellent. The owner and his son are very hands-on with residents and customers alike. The bar is popular with locals so is always lively. We were very sorry to leave and would be happy to return again in the future.
