Bridgend Hotel

Verpflegung (Frühstück und Nachtessen) waren hervorragend, ebenso die Betreuung durch das Personal. Islay ist eine (1...) Reise wert. Die Grösse der Unterkunft war gerade noch OK, um ein vernünftiges Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis zu konstatieren.

It's centrally located to various parts of the island when travelling by car. Staff was great and there's a restaurant on site with wonderful breakfasts and dinners. There's also a gas station and small market across the street. We really enjoyed our stay.

Friendly staff and very good location for visiting Islay. All staff were very accommodating, and we were warned a few days before that there would be a live band playing on the Friday night, and they would move us if required to their cottage accommodation. We decided not to move as we enjoyed the music, but maybe take note that if staying in room 3, there could be live music at the weekend and if you cannot be moved, it will be loud in the room. The breakfast was good with a sufficient choice of cereal and cooked options, if a little slow at being served. We dined in the restaurant one night, and the food was very good. There is onsite parking, and across the road there is a petrol station and small convenience store. The room itself was very nice and a very good size for two people. Note there is no lift, so you must use the stairs if you have heavy suitcases, however the staff carried our cases as we were able to check-in early.

No major issues, just be warned about the live music if you are staying in room 3. Perhaps send the hotel a message when you book asking if there will be any live bands playing during your visit. Having said that, the live Scottish music was very good, and I recommend that you enjoy the music!

Das Frühstück war gut und bot eine gute Auswahl an gekochten Speisen. Das Abendessen im sehr schönen Speiseraum war gut. Es gibt eine Bar mit einer ansprechenden Auswahl an Islay Whiskies. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfbereit. Der Garten hinter dem Hotel ist sehr schön angelegt und lädt ein zum Verweilen.

Die Zimmer (z.B. Nr. 15 und 16) sind z.T. recht klein, die Bäder etwas in die Jahre gekommen und die Betten sehr schmal für 2 Personen (französisches Doppelbett: 1,20 breit!). Die Lage ist zwar sehr zentral auf der Insel, aber es gibt außer Natur nicht viel Angebot in der Nähe wie z.B. ein Pub oder ein Laden. Die Luft im Speiseraum war nicht so toll, weil die Abluft der Küche die Gerüche nicht wegbrachte.
