Stayed for three nights during Islay Whisky Festival. Hotel lovely with fabulous friendly staff who were willing to give great recommendations of places to go and things to do. Room was lovely. Stylish and clean with great view over the loch. Bar small and intimate and two fun evenings spent there. Breakfast was fabulous with the best eggs royale. Staff were incredibly obliging. Our only disappointment was that the restaurant was not open in the evening.

We came to Islay for the distillery tours snd loved having this as a home base. It is quaint, clean and comfortable. The staff is helpful and friendly. I loved the breakfasts which was included in the price. The dinner was very good too! What a great time with family!

Enjoyed a few wonderful lunches and dinners in the hotel. Good variety on the menu and the service was friendly and excellent!

We started and ended the week with dinner here, very good food, nice atmosphere and very attentive and friendly staff. The lobster was delicious

To be honest, we were really looking forward to dining here but we were disappointed. The waiter we could not fault at all but the food was just okay. Quite bland, nothing to write home about. Chilli and sweet potato wedges, just didn’t hit the mark, neither did the mushroom tagliatelle. We also felt the way the screens were placed it was like eating inside a cramped phone box. The view was spectacular so we were still glad we visited.

Amazing, this just sums this place up. Being gluten-free and vegan is always a challenge, and this great restaurant rose to and exceeded that challenge with a bespoke 3 course menu! The staff were super friendly and attentive and full of smiles. The chef is obviously passionate about pleasing people with food no matter their dietary requirements. Amazing place, well done to all of you !!

Fantastic restaurant. Really easy to reserve a table online and a fantastic view from the restaurant over the bay. We had a great selection of whisky to choose from, with a detailed guidebook explaining each option. We really enjoyed sipping various whiskeys and comparing notes whilst waiting for lunch - a throughly good past-time! Lunch was excellent too, as was the customer service.

Asked at reception if we could go to the bar, that was not possible but we were welcome to sit by the roaring log fire in the reception area and drinks would be brought to us. We had excellent Belhaven's beer and of course, delicious whisky. The young lady who served us was friendly and efficient. All in all, a delightful experience. I have eaten here before and the food and surroundings are excellent.

Fabulous setting on the edge of the Loch with great views. We arrived for lunch and found a bright, clean and welcoming restaurant attached to the old stone building that housed plenty of character. We didn't want much, just a starter and drink and the pleasant staff were quick to accommodate. A waitress error in ordering was swiftly and efficiently dealt with and much joy spread through Mr Hobo as he relished in the fresh seafood of the Fish Club sandwich and Mrs Hobo glowed with the soup...and nicking some chips from her husband. We enjoyed it and will be back, if you'll have us.

Lovely view of harbour from restaurant . Cullen Skink excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. Many thanks

Just stayed 4 nights and to be honest, it was one of the best hotels, I’ve stayed in for a while. The setting is great, the room was fab, the food was to die for, it was clean, loved the toiletries and the style and atmosphere. The best part though was the staff, they were friendly, efficient, knowledgable, but mostly they were happy and seemed to really care about making your visit the best. Lovely hotel but their staff were amazing 🤩

Stayed in the harbour inn with six friends on a road trip. Met by the lovely Alison who sorted out a small room issue without batting an eyelid. The hotel is immaculate and the staff superb. Breakfast and dinner were first class.

Great atmosphere and the staff are friendly and helpful. Starters and mains were well presented and extremely tasty. Lovely views as the sun set.

Everywhere was booked in Advance ,where to eat? The Harbour could accommodate us but only at 5pm. We ate in glorious isolation but the scene through the window was entertaining. We had a warm welcome and an excellent supper, it was a last resort but proved a joy.

We ate in June 2021 as hotel residents, at the time it was only open to hotel guests. We're glad we did, and wish we'd had at least 1 of our other 2 Bowmore dinners here as other places pale in comparison. The views from the conservatory dining room are stunning, even with the weather blowing in. The staff are the same as the Inn and were welcoming and friendly with advice on what to choose. The venison main I had was just beautiful - perfectly cooked with excellent accompaniments. The cranachan was the star of the show for me, to the extent we returned to have more the next night after dining elsewhere. We paired it with the Bowmore tasting flight and loved that too. Having considered other places in Bowmore, Peatzeria is great for what it is, but for a quality mid-fine dining experience then the Harbour Inn is terrific. Other places seem to do more standard West of Scotland standards - piles of chips etc - but The Harbour Inn is a cut above with pricing that was reasonable.

I can't rave enough about this place. The staff are attentive and lovely. The food is delicious and fresh and the atmosphere is relaxed and stylish.The restaurant is clean and the staff all cheerful, polite, and very helpful. I'd recommend it to anyone staying in, or visiting Bowmore. We have dined in here twice with the service and food perfect both times.Fresh lobster, langoustine, scallops were all delicious but so was the steak and Cullen Skink. Try to leave some room for the Bowmore chocolate mousse or a tasting flight of whiskies (which they will take you through, should you wish).

Had a lovely evening meal here, complete with a glorious view of the sea loch and fresh oysters with Bowmore Whisky (Oyster Luge) and tasting seafood entrees. The service was very friendly, and they are just starting up again after a long downtime due to the pandemic. Excellent place to eat in Bowmore if looking an classy but unpretentious venue.

We were staying next door which is a lovely holiday let. We visited Harbour Inn twice in our two weeks, and would have more if we'd been able to walk in. The rump steak is lean, no rump is melt in your mouth but this ate well and the beefiness of it's flavour was remarkable.

Excellent. Good service fabulous food very friendly welcoming staff.well worth a visit.we were staying in a self catering cottage across the road .

Had a very nice time there, finding a table ar the last second our expectations we're sky high as we were already happy to find a place to eat.As we were enjoying the nice view of the Bowmore Bay, we had our first taste of modern Scottish cuisine, beginning with an excellent Haggis Scotch Egg, well balanced between the strong taste of the meat and the creaminess of the yolk.Then we had a delicious pan-fried Coalfish, served with a side of crushed potatoes, peas and smoked bacon, paired with New Zealand Chardonnay it was a nice match.Props to our waiters too, for their kindness and efficient service! Overall, it's a great place to enjoy Scottish cuisine with a modern twist!

We had dinner here on Friday on arrival at Islay, very good service and food, wish we had eaten here again rather than the Bridgend hotel and Lochside hotel on sat and sun.

Had the daily soup and sandwich with a Bowmore #1. Bread portion huge, Service was a little slow. View over the harbour in the restaurant was very pleasant.

We had two meals here during our stay in Bowmore. The first on our arrival day and because we really liked it booked a table for an other evening as well. It was a good decision. The service was friendly and attentive. We tried some local seafood dishes including oysters and langoustine tails and they were all delicious. So was the cranachan.

Clean, beautiful and a lovely view. Great breakfast and very friendly staff. This is a place we will come back to.

村落不大，餐廳有限。導遊提醒最好都要事先預約才有位子，所以我們提早一天預約。果然是在地名店，服務佳，餐點新鮮好吃，推！

We had dinner twice here in our 7 day stay in Bowmore. The service was superb and the food absolutely delicious. The restaurant sits looking onto the Loch and all tables have a good view.

My partner and I came here for dinner. Our table wasn’t ready when we arrived so we enjoyed a drink in the bar before being shown to our table. Neither of us were particularly sold on the main course options so so decided to go for a number of small plates and starters to share. The oysters were delicious and fresh. The scotch eggs and special of battered corned beef were particular stand outs. The restaurant has great views which we enjoyed even though we weren’t right next to the windows. Service was good.

My husband and I arrived in Bowmore on a wet and windy Sunday so we went into the harbour inn for a cup of tea, even though there was a christening party on they let us in to the restaurant and supplied us with a pot of tea and some shortbread which was very welcome, so on our way out we booked a table for the following night, the best decision we made, the service was great and the food was excellent well presented and tasty, needless to say we went back a couple of times that week. Thank you to all the staff for such friendly service, especially for taking pity on two cold wee souls who wanted a cup of tea.

A lovely restaurant, very nice & attentive waitress.. yet I am not sure I'd go back there.

My friends and I booked the harbour Inn to celebrate our 30th birthdays, we had a lovely three course meal and we were offered a selection of cocktails. The food was beautiful and the service was outstanding, the girls really couldn't do enough for us. if you're looking for somewhere decent to eat on Islay, look no further... You won't be disappointed.

We visited the Harbour Inn whilst visiting Islay for one day only. The dining room is nicely situated with lovely views over the wee harbour, and is cosy, tidy and clean.

I stayed at the Harbour Inn Hotel, owned by Bowmore Distillery, and I had dinner at the restaurant. At peak times, it's good to book. They have daily specials that are super fresh. I enjoyed everything I had. . .and you cannot beat the gorgeous views of the bay.

We had our best meal on Islay here. From the minute we arrived the staff were attentive and pleasant.

Had an evening meal one night and a lunch a different day in the restaurant overlooking the harbour. Both were very good indeed. The whiskey bar is not bad either. The best place in Bowmore by far !

Food and service were excellent. Oysters were good. Warning the langoustine are messy to peel. Sticker on the hand-dryer is not to be missed.

From the friendly welcome to our grateful thanks for a very happy and much enjoyed stay we were delighted with every aspect of our visit.

Were self catering in Bowmore and ate out on three nights. The Harbour Inn was handy and after a drink in the wee bar we decided to eat there. Food was fantastic as was the service. We did indulge so the bill at the end of the evening reflected that.

Última refeição em Islay, nesta visita, não poderia ser melhor. O Harbour Inn tem uma vista maravilhosa, a comida e o atendimento excelentes. Ambiente agradável. Recomendo demais!

We didn’t eat here as we didn’t have time but what a great friendly wee bar. Staff were great, accommodating and knowledgeable. Cosy wee snug for a dram and menu looked lovely.

Ideal location to our B & B. Excellent food, drink and service. Very quiet on the night we were there but still a good atmosphere

This is what eating out is all about! Nothing pretentious about The Harbour Inn - they’re not trying to be something they’re not like some places on the island who take on too much and can’t cope. What they offer is superb food, a lovely intimate ambience/setting with that spectacular sea view and, a warm/friendly service with staff who make you feel welcome and go the extra mile.

Everyone from Vicki at the front desk to Andrew our server, were fantastic. A great taste of local hospitality.

Fina lokaler med en underbar utsikt över vattnet.

This restaurant, part of a small hotel, looks like a dingy but and ben from the outside. So, when we were led into a modern seating area with great sea views, it was quite a surprise. Together with good food and service to match, this made for a very pleasant evening.

Stayed here during festival in room 3 and there was a bird stuck in the wall/roof which keep us up all night so we could not sleep, despite the manager claiming it was outside, the noise came from the wall behind the bed which backed onto another house.....

Utvändigt såg restaurangen ganska alldagligt ut. Men matsalen var mysig och hade fantastisk utsikt. Maten var mycket bra och efterrätten underbar!

We started with 1/2 dozen oysters, paired with a glass of Prosecco each.

We have recently been based in Bowmore for the last 4 nights and we always stopped here for a drink, late afternoon/early evening. The bar is very small and can be quiet and next minute very busy. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. When visiting Bowmore on the Isle of Islay, make sure you visit the Harbour Inn for a drink and look at the Whisky Menu. I would recommend it to anyone.

We were recommended to visit this restaurant by our hostess where we were staying and it was an excellent choice. The restaurant which is owned by the Bowmore distillery is part of the Harbour inn hotel. There is plenty of free parking outside the Harbour inn and in the immediate surroundings. The restaurant is quite small with room for about 30 covers and has views of the small harbour from the windows on 2 sides. The restaurant is plainly furnished with wooden floors and tablecloths. There are daily specials on a blackboard in addition to the menu items. My wife started with the half pint of langoustines which were warm & came with head off shell on. They were excellent. I started with the ham hock terrine which came as 2 large slices of ham hock and although filling was again extremely good. For our main courses I had one of that days specials the langoustines which came with French fries and a mixed salad. The langoustines were served whole. It was a very large portions of over 10 large langoustine — they were superb.. My wife chose the mussels which also came with a salad and a bowl of French fries. Again the mussels were excellent; a large portion of very large mussels which my wife thoroughly enjoyed. We decided to share the pannacotta with salted caramel popcorn which was the perfect end to the meal. Our server, Vicky, was excellent , extremely helpful and friendly and all her recommendations were spot on. Despite the restaurant being full all the dishes were served in a timely manner. The wine list was small but reasonable priced and the meal was excellent value for money. We had a lovely meal

We dropped in twice for dinner but the restaurant was fully booked, finally ate here on the 3rd time of trying, we were staying locally otherwise probably wouldn't have bothered going back. Seams popular with large groups. Main courses are huge, service good. Seafood and fish good.

Stopped into the Harbour Inn for a drink. The bar is really tiny but atmospheric. There's only room for 2 people to stand at the bar so I had to queue near the door for a good few minutes in between seated guests, which was a bit odd :)

Lovely staff, super friendly. i had langoustine tails, much smaller than i expected but delicious my fish and chips were delicious and 2 of the others had the crab burger. Lovely setting and pleasant restaurant

We booked for lunch as it is attached to the Distillery where we had an excellent tour.

We were staying very close nearby so we're looking forward to eating here most nights, in fact we had booked ahead for three nights in the restaurant.On our first night we tried not to be put off when we popped in early for a drink ( beer was awful!) by the total lack of ambience. We went back to fulfill our restaurant booking a little while later. The staff were attentive and our starter of home made fish cake was lovely. We both ordered pan fried Hake with Crab Risotto off the specials board for our main. Well, to call it a disappointment is an understatement, both the Hake and Risotto were totally tasteless.Really awful.The whole place has obviously had a lot of money spent on refurbishments but it is totally lacking is any atmosphere.Such a shame as it is in a prime location but clearly just catering for unassuming tourists & passers by. Sad to say we cancelled our other bookings.

I was disappointed in this new restaurant. It’s obviously been refurbished as the hotel but there was not much choice on the evening menu. Wine very expensive too

Oppositie to and connected with the Bowmore distilleries this is a good place to have a diner and enjoy the view. The meao’s are ok and the staff works hard to give you a good time

We tried this place twice and the first time didn't go because of the two hour wait. I strongly recommend booking so you can go. The food was great, I have coeliac and the menu was well written to make it clear which dishes could be made gluten free. I had plenty of choice and enjoyed wonderful roast cod with a rare treat of bubble of squeak and a poached egg. It was gorgeous. My partner very much enjoyed a twist on mac and cheese with beef brisket and jalapeno peppers. We had desert too a chocolate mousse and a cheese board. They were both wonderful. The service was good and the price was very reasonable.

We ate here for 3 consecutive nights and had beautiful food, so fresh and flavoursome.Change of Specials every day. Very knowlegable help from Vicky and Kat to match local ale, good wine to our food and of course, they were a great help in selecting a mellow post dinner whisky.

My wife and I visited for brunch over the weekend and enjoyed it so returned for dinner later in the week. Staff were friendly & attentive, food was good and the views over the harbour were a nice backdrop!

Food was the best I had on the island and the services was both spectacular as well as pleasant. Lovely.

After visiting Bowmore Distillery around lunch time we walked by this restaurant and decided to give it a try. We sat by the window and enjoyed nice view of the harbor. It was mid-August and surprisingly it wasn't too busy. The waiter was courteous and took his time to explain what was on the menu. We had haddock and chips, macaroni and cheese and salmon salad. The best was the fresh raw Islay oysters. This was a quiet little place to enjoy the peaceful time on Islay.

We ate here on a couple of evenings The Oysters were amazing, and teh Brownie dessert was excellent. I also enjoyed the Langoustine and the Crannachan

蒸溜所見学に最適なロケーション。目の前にはボウモア蒸溜所。坂の上には円形のチャーチ。目まぐるしく変わる天気も２日目にはもう慣れたもの。朝食はさまざまな卵料理からチョイスできる。夜はもちろん新鮮なオイスターにボウモアを垂らして。淡路島ほどの大きさだから、１日を慌てずに観光できる。それでも丸３日間では回りきれない魅力満載のアイラ島でした。

We had oysters as starter and burgers as main. Oysters were fresh, burger big and tasty. Good service, good rest before next distiliery tour. Worth to visit

The Harbour Inn restaurant is pleasantly situated with a view across the harbour and offers a quiet atmospheric inn experience. The meals are well presented and of excellent quality served by pleasant and helpful staff.

Bij harbour inn is het heerlijk eten met een goed glas wijn erbij. Ik was hier met 10 personen. Bediening vriendelijk en snel.

We had lunch at the harbour inn during our stay and the soup was the best that I have tasted. We had an amazing view and staff were very friendly

牡蠣にボウモアをかけて食べるとどこかで読んだのですが、レストランのスタッフに聞くと「まずは牡蠣を口にいれて、その後ウィスキーを口に含んで一緒に食べるの。後は食べた牡蠣の殻にウィスキーを注いで磯の香りを楽しむのもいいよ。」と教えてもらいました。牡蠣と一緒に楽しむウィスキーは12年ものがお勧めだそうです。（ちなみウィスキーは別料金）牡蠣は大粒で、とてもクリーミーで大変美味しかったです。

et on essaie de faire une jolie présentation. Mais à cela près, c'est toujours une cuisine où on aimerait trouver la patte du chef, ce petit quelque chose qui différencie les restaurants. Ici tout se ressemble trop, en fin de compte. Mais ce n'est pas la France.

A very relaxing visit to a lovely if not slightly basic venue but dont let that put you off as the food here is excellent. Freshly caught from the the sea sstraight to you plate, cant get better than that. Lovely.

Nous somme allés dejeuner au Harbour Inn, apres avoir visité la distillerie de Bowmore.

Ate here on our last night in Bowmore - would have been earlier in the week but restuarant was closed as the chef had broken his foot! We always have fish and chips one night when on holiday in Scotland so the choice was easy. Great haddock - would have prepared chunky chips rather than frites, but not a big issue. The restaurant is under the same ownership as the Bowmore Distillery so we rounded things off with a dram - would have been rude not to!

Booking is a must, but this restaurant won't disappoint. The lovely view sets the whole experience off. The adjoining bar is small, but friendly, well stocked and great to sit for a few drinks in the evening whether or not your using the restaurant. We very much enjoyed this place.

My husband and I visited Harbour Inn for breakfast before our tour at the distillery, and were so glad we did!

Visited based on recommendation. Conservatory had great views but lacking some verve. Had mussels as special which was good but needed bread and also expensive. Twice price of recent chef and brewer but no better. Will keep seeking the fruits of beautiful Islay.

Stopped in here for lunch and we were not disappointed. The hotel waiting area is cozy and comfortable and the views from the restaurant, over the bay, are fabulous. The food was reasonably priced fr Islay and it was well worth it. We also had a coffee in the lounge one day, which was really nice with homemade shortbread on the side. Just what you need when it's cold and rainy outside. Can recommend and Id like to stay at the hotel if I get the chance as it looks so nice. Friendly & efficient service too. A must, if you are in Bowmore.

Nice place to eat. Not cheap, but delicious diner! Good service, good whisky, nice ales and very nice fresh fish!

I didn't stay here, only ate here twice. The staff are so friendly and kind. I ordered Langoustine on the recommendation of the nice waiter and he made sure I knew what to expect and when he brought them out he taught me how to open them. He double checked back with me and I couldn't fault this place one bit. So friendly, I didn't feel one bit weird about eating here alone and there are lovely views to the sea. The staff are friendly but also know when to leave you alone. The food was so tasty, my best recommendation for Islay food.

Dans le contexte largement déprimé de l'Ecosse...On se rapproche ici d'un restaurant et on s'éloigne de la Pub Food.

We popped in without a booking, having arrived on the morning Ferry. We were greeted with a smile and "We are full Sir, but just a moment." A few minutes later they were resetting a corner table where someone had finished early. Phew, that was close, it was getting late. Very good seafood menu and a more than adequate Wine list. The food was beautifully presented and delicious with lovely local fish and fresh vegetables. A delightful meal in a well furnished restaurant. Like a lot of Scotland, wine is sold in two or three sized glasses, 150ml, 180ml or 250ml. If you just ask for a glass of wine,, then invariably you get the biggest/most expensive. Given Scotland's near zero tolerance of alcohol when driving its important to know how much alcohol you have had before you can drive. We both enjoyed the dining experience, the price being a bit higher than most in Bowmore, but consistent with the quality of the food and the venue.

Nous avons mangé deux fois dans ce restaurant car il n y a pas beaucoup d'options dans le coin (sans prendre la voiture), voici selon nous les points positifs et négatifs :

Typisch Schottisches Restaurant im Zentrum von Bowmore. Einfache Ausstattung, dafür beste Speisen. Sehr zu empfehlen ist jede Art von Sea-Food.

While we didn't stay at the Harbour Inn, or eat a meal there, we'd experienced some ... difficulties in finding decent espresso-based coffee ... And - confession up front - we ARE Australian, and from Melbourne and DO think we have a mortgage on making decent - no, GREAT - coffees!

We ate dinner here in the restaurant with a table in the window overlooking the port. The decor is relaxed and "bistro" style, the food is great. The portion sizes are really generous - the fish and chips was a hit as were the scallops in the shell.

With great views over the harbour, this lovely little restaurant is a perfect place for a nice dinner. Using all the best local and seasonal produce from Islay, we had our best meal on the Island here. There were lots of seafood, vegetarian and gluten free options. A good wine and whisky list and great service.

We stoped off for lunch before our distillery tour and we’re made very welcome by very friendly staff. Sandwiches and beer were both excellent and very good value for money.

Tasty food in a nice environment overlooking the harbor. Service was generally efficient and friendly. Delicious wine and good choice of bottled beer. Had to ask for a finger bowl while eating shellfish ( small point, I admit). We would eat here again when back on the island.

牡蠣にボウモアをかけて食べるというアイラ島独特の食べ方で頂きました。

Good friendly service with lovely view. Food was delicious. Had the langoustines, mussels and salmon. Delicious desserts too.

We dined here last month and the views from our table were gorgeous as the sun began to set. I had the fish and chips and my husband had the rib eye steak. Desserts were delicious too! Highly recommend, but keep in mind it is expensive.

We were staying at the hotel and were a little tired, so decided to "eat downstairs" rather than go searching. It was so good that the next night we came back.

Läget i hamnen är helt fantastiskt. Ostronen underbara och maten god. Men tyvärr dras betyget ner av att personalen inte hade koll på vad dom gjorde.

The main course was decent, but a little overpriced. The beer was the most expensive i have ever had £5.25 for a bottle of fairly local ale which is way way overpriced. service was friendly. nice views of the harbour.

Como tudo em Islay, o restaurante Harbour Inn é confortável, muito agradável e com uma equipe muito atenciosa.

As part of a group of two couples, we went into this hotel for morning coffee. We had been there last year and got the most delicious shortbread with our coffee so were hoping for the same. On arrival we had to press the bell for service at the reception area, which was cluttered with dirty laundry bags. Eventually we were shown to a table. We asked for three lattes and one mocca, and for four rounds of shortbread. The waiter told us 'he would have a look and see if they had any!' He came back 5 minutes later with our coffee and said that there was no shortbread. We asked for four fruit scones instead. The waiter disappeared and we tried our coffees, and found the three Lattes were look warm. We intended to catch the waiter and ask him to re-heat them, but after 30 minutes he had not returned with our scones. In disgust we rose from the table and went to reception. After a short wait a young girl came to the desk and we told her to forget about our scones, and that the Lattes were all cold and still sitting on the table. We paid for our one Mocca and left without getting as much as an apology from the girl. On a tourist reliant island with a great number of coffee places I found the service to be totally unacceptable and we will never go into this place again.

The food and atmosphere of this restaurant was great. The prices a bit touristy but manageable. Unfortunately the service was so undertrained that it really affected the meal. Only go if you have tons of patience and loads of time to kill.

We were staying in the hotel so decided to make things easy and do dinner here. We were expecting something all right, but were truly blown away. My husband had the leek and potato soup and I had the heirloom tomato salad. Both were delicious but the heirloom tomato salad was truly spectacular. Tomatoes so fresh they must've been picked that day. We shared some rustic bread too that they brought out with a quality olive oil and average balsamic vinegar.

We live on the island and have eaten here several times but not recently. On the recommendation of a friend who said it had improved greatly over the last 12 months we decided to book a table. The heirloom tomatoes were lovely but not enough goats cheese on the plate. 3 tiny little pyramids of cheese , but very tasty. I ordered the Moroccan lamb with couscous for the main. Disappointed , the meat was quite tough and arrived cold. We were told that lamb neck is quite often tough , but my question is why serve it then? Or at least cook it in a way that is edible. The Moroccan flavour was very subtle. Not good enough for £20. My husband ordered haddock and chips , which was covered in salt flakes. Salt is good for seasoning , not good for the heart. So it would be nice to be able to put your own salt on so you can control the amount not have someone else decide how much you have on the dish. The pistachio cake with nectarines was several tiny portions of cake with what looked and tasted like tinned peaches. If the nectarines were 'roasted' as per the menu then there should have been some colour and caramelisation on them. Again disappointing. When we ordered drinks we were told that the St Mungos was finished so I ordered Tennants lager. The table next to us were then served St Mungos , so perhaps we should have been told the barrel was being changed and he would get the order when the new one was ready. So we left not really wanting to come back unfortunately , which is a real shame.

First night on Islay and drove into Bowmore for evening meal. My partner and I both chose fish and chips. Chips were actually french fries, peas served in small dish were well over cooked, half a lemon had been grilled and was so dried there was no juice, haddock was ok. Not impressed with service
