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).

Unfortunately was unable to fulfill my booking at the Hotel due to illness, They were kind enough to allow me to reschedule for a later date. So we are looking forward to visit Islay in the near future.
Superb hotel, staff, location and food. The imposing Hotel building is at the head of a great loch and seascape. Jenny welcomes us and showed us around, terrific; She made sure personally that the room was ok for us (we moved to a different room, without the view). Top class dinner: who needs a great deal of choice when there is what you want? Breakfast was just excellent. We came to Islay not for the hotel - but next year we may return, just for the hotel and stay somewhat longer.
This was our first Scottish Breakfast on our trip! It was Beautiful...just not a fan of the Haggis and Black Pudding! Loved everything else and our server was delightful. There were plenty of other options so I had plenty to eat. The dining room is beautiful, very period and inviting. The bar at the hotel was wonderful and we enjoyed our drinks upon arrival. Thank you for our great "First Night" in Scotland!
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!
A little gem of a hotel run by Ian and his team. One of the best little hotels we’ve stayed at. Our room was lovely and comfortable. The bar and restaurant were great serving brilliantly cooked locally sourced food. The chef didn’t put a step wrong. Special mention to Kenny who made breakfast an absolute treat!
We stayed here when completing some construction works at Port Ellen, the hotel was perfect and couldn't recommend highly enough. We had an early start on the Saturday and would have missed breakfast, we were treated to a pack up to take with us so we didn't miss out, a very thoughtful touch indeed.
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.
Property was immaculate and like a boutique hotel. Absolutely perfect. Fabulous room. The host was friendly knowledgeable and couldn’t do enough for you. Breakfast was amazing. I would stay again and highly recommend to anyone.
Nice hotel with good food. The staff were excellent special mention to Mirka and Eithne! Great breakfast. Our room was very small with a very small bathroom but had a lovely view of the gorgeous gsrden. Good central location
The food at the Bridgend was magnificent especially the dinners. The staff was wonderful especially Meghan, Lauren, and Kenny in that they were most accommodating and helpful. I didn’t want for anything!
The hotel was beautiful, comfy room, excellent food and the staff were so helpful and friendly. The manager Ian was exceptional and couldn't do enough to make our stay a brilliant one.
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.
