1. Staff - Karl & Lorna are such excellent & helpful individual. We connected extremely well as Karl & I shared our appreciation of the great director Satyajit Ray and he has also been to my city. So we shared & exchanged a lot of views. Additionally, when my ferry got cancelled due to bad weather, Karl helped me change my reservation from Oban Youth Hostel to Port Charlotte Youth Hostel. In addition, he also helped me secure a bed at the Oban Youth Hostel next day through their own system whereas there was no availability for Oban Youth Hostel on booking.com. Lorna helped me secure reservation at the fantastic sea food kitchen restaurant next door. They are so helpful. Thank you so much!!!
2. Location - Simply excellent. Walking distance to Bruichladdich distillery, bus stop (just 5 min walk), eateries and convenience store.
3. Facilities - Huge Kitchen and Lounge area with super comfy furnitures & fixtures. Open a dram in their lounge on a stormy evening and enjoy a book. You will be lost in your own world.

Everything was wonderful. Emma and Graeme were the perfect hosts in a beautifully crafted space. The food - breakfast and dinner was superb. The bed comfortable with soft sheets.
The Bridgend is well located on the island. The restaurant is good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was disappointing but the bed was comfortable and the shower hot. 3 days on Islay was a good time but could easily stay longer.

Bridgend expertly handles what must regularly be a full house for lodging, dinner, breakfast, and more. Its central location to the sites and destinations across Islay make it a great launching point from which to explore, but it was also nice to return at the end of the day to relax and recover.

The setting, the Staff and the room were very good.
The ambience lacked any atmosphere and was not inviting to us.
Something is needing done to attract local patronage.
This would be helpful in establishing rapport between locals and visitors and demonstrate how friendly Islay people are.

Bridgend is a small village with a big heart.
Bridgend is a small village with a big heart. It benefits from a small convenience store and a two pump petrol/diesel station, as well as a putting and bowling green. Walks can be taken through the nearby woods and guests at Bridgend Hotel can benefit from a day fishing license. The restaurant at Bridgend Hotel is excellent, with a range of dishes made from many locally sourced ingredients. Both the breakfast and dinner are recommended. It's possible to walk towards the sea, though we could not find a way across to the beach - which is probably just as well as it protects the wildlife and potentially nesting birds. The local police officer stopped to say hello and offered us a lift back to the hotel - which was charming. Bridgend is well placed for further exploration of Islay, and would recommend traveling with an OS map to take full advantage of the tracks and pathways (if hiking).

Impulse 2 day visit to Islay to see family.
Impulse 2 day visit to Islay to see family. Bridgend is just one of many lovely little communities on the island. We were looking for peace and quiet, easy nature walks, birdlife etc. We did have lovely weather which helps, spring flowers all over the place, so many birds, even saw hares. The RSPB walking trails are well worth a visit. Food on the island was for the most part local and beautifully cooked, Loch Fyne Oysters are amazing and worth seeking out. Live music at Port Charlotte Hotel Wednesdays and Sunday evenings a total highlight but get there early, t'is standing room only but well well worth it. We had a car which made travelling around easy, and in spring there were not very many tourists or cars compared to other islands we have visited. All in all, if you are after a quiet, relaxed, peaceful and beautiful holiday and are ok with 'Variable' Scottish Weather, this is a bit of a gem.
Breakfast was a good range of food in a very nice dining room. Parking was sufficient and safe while the staff was top notch, from checking in to checking out. The room was a bit outdated but otherwise adequate for a nice stay on Islay. The hotel has a bar as well as a restaurant. It's centrally located so everything is within 20-30 minutes on the island, which is a huge plus for travelers with limited time (like ourselves).
This IS the place to stay on Islay. Under the watchful eye of manager, Ian, nothing is left to chance. Breakfast and staff lovely, dining room beautiful. Centrally located, rooms well appointed and clean. Warm. Friendly and knowledgeable Ian is happy and available to answer all questions, make local suggestions and call other services on your behalf. Stay at Bridgend if you can! You won't be disappointed!
The hotel is well placed in the middle of the island, the room (access room on ground floor) was generously proportioned and clean, and the bathroom was a good size with a great shower (lots of hot water and great pressure). Breakfast was a good starter for the day. The bar was well stocked, particularly if you like Islay whisky, with plenty of local knowledge from the barman.
To start the location is off the beaten track which makes it exceptionally quiet, The host Thomas was first class absolutely nothing was to much trouble, I suppose the stay is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I think if you stay once you will want to go back. the Breakfast is as good if not better than a five star hotel, wonderful.
Breakfast buffet very good; moreover rich selection of cooked breakfast, which could even be adapted to personal preferences. Staff always very helpful and friendly. Evening meal selection and quality in restaurant very good. Position of hotel ideal: very central on island; everywhere is easy to reach.
Beautiful hotel , staff could not be more friendly and helpful. Evening meal superb, as was breakfast.would highly recommend this hotel. Dog friendly and great walk from the doorstep. Ideal location being central on the island. Have been back for lunch and was just as good !
Great location, super helpful staff. We had some booking issues and ferry travel difficulties, and Ian went out of his way to accommodate our needs. Great breakfast and good dinner experience. Clean and comfortable room with gorgeous garden surrounding the hotel.
Bridgend has earned a reputation for quality among visitors to Islay. The dining room was superb, serving dinner and breakfast rivaling high-end restaurants in the big cities on the mainland. The staff's hospitality and professionalism was much appreciated.
Lovely room, bed was extremely comfortable. This place felt like an upscale hotel. Breakfast was delicious. The hosts were extremely gracious, friendly and made us feel at home. If we come back to Islay we will definitely be staying here again.
Breakfast was special, served directly by the chef.
The hotel is located in a quiet and beautiful countryside.
It is difficult to access by bus, but in return you can enjoy the typical Scottish natural beauty.
The location is beautiful and in a quiet area, the beds are supper comfy and the rooms are nice. For me felt a bit pricey but all the hotels are in Islay and its peak season so it is what it is.
Very good and tasty breakfast. Great location. We loved the place and everyone was nice and friendly. We already planning our next visit to the island and definitely will stay at this hotel.
The staff were amazing. Robert and Jenny couldn’t have done anymore for us. Felt very welcome from when we stepped through the door. Hotel was so quaint with amazing furnishings.
It’s a beautiful property and hotel. The rooms are spacious and clean. Dinner was excellent although it’s a set menu. the bar is intimate and well stocked.
