Reviews

Greg 10/10
Canada 🇨🇦

Pros: This was an outstanding stay with a warm and friendly atmosphere in a tranquil setting. I wish there were more than five stars to reflect the welcome and excellent service we received from Margaret and Blair, our hosts. Highly recommended if you travel to Islay!

Cons: No issues whatsoever.

We would highly recommend this accommodation and hope to stay again

Pros: Very friendly but not intrusive owners. Home from home atmosphere. Great attention to details in accommodation, furnishings and facilities. Fabulous views. Amazing breakfast, huge amount of high quality often home made produce. Very helpful in onward travel assistance

Cons: Everything was to our taste and more than fulfilled our requirements.

David 10/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Excellent hospitality, beautiful location, very comfortable accommodation and the best breakfast ever.

Pros: This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. We felt very well looked after by Margaret. She had thought of every last detail to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. From the perfectly manicured lawn, to the delicious home-baking and the state-of-the-art telly at the end of the bath! Kilmeny is a farmhouse in the middle of the island up a track at the the top of a little hill. The outlook is beautiful, the room was very thoughtfully, comfortably and tastefully decorated and the breakfasts were possibly the best ever. It is a place to savour for a few nights, rather than a quick pitstop to rest your head as you travel through. Indulge yourself and savour some first class Islay hospitality.

Felt like home with outstanding service and comfort.

Pros: From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, the service was exceptional, and Margaret, the owner, is simply wonderful – warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. We can’t wait to come back!

Isabel 10/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Kilmeny is a cosy and welcoming farmhouse. We were warmly greeted by Margaret with tea and freshly baked cake. She willingly shared her expertise of the island to help us plan our stay. The room was spacious, clean and extremely comfortable with lots of little homely touches. Not to mention that the breakfast was delicious and we left for each day full of home baked goods! We can’t recommend Kilmeny enough.
