Wonderful place to stay in Islay. Cannot say enough good things about decor, food, cleanliness, service and quick responses. Centrally located on Islay with miles of beach nearby. Super easy from Islay airport. Close proximity however I never noticed any airport or road noise. Most relaxing stay I have had in a long time. Emma and Graeme are perfect hosts!

Everything about our visit to Glenegedale House exceeded expectations---the property is lovely and inviting, the owners gracious and helpful, the meals truly special! I doubt we would have been taken care of half as well at a more corporate property that would have charged twice as much. While location is a bit remote (in the best possible way), the setting is beautifully tranquil, transportation to towns and other local attractions is easily arranged. Such a special place!

The most warm & friendly hosts on all of our trip to Scotland. Every detail of the food & home is expertly & meticulously attended. Drinks, dinner & breakfast were a feast each time! Our room was actually the beautiful one pictured on website. Not sure I’ve ever had that work out! Bedding was so comfortable. Our hostess Emma even let us check in early after arriving on a morning ferry & had a fabulous tea & muffins waiting for us!
