Overall Ratings & Reviews Another Place, The Machrie

Fabulous golf resort. In glorious surroundings. Expensive but worth it. All staff well trained and extremely helpful. Would definitely return

Such a beautiful hotel and staff were always approachable and pleasant. Hotel very clean and tidy. Loved the board with all the activities and information about the island at reception, great idea. I found the restaurant very expensive, also we were unable to get 2 different cocktails of the menu during the 3 days we were there, because they had no pineapple juice and also no rosé wine which was disappointing.

Our room was beautifully appointed. Large comfortable bed, lovely soft fluffy towels and all the little extras you could wish for.

Absolutely gorgeous spot to stay and felt so private. The food was top notch as was the staff. And the balcony of the restaurant was perfect to watch the sunset over the bay each night. Im not a golfer but the beautiful course makes me want to learn to play. Thanks, Shane Hoskins

Beautiful property! Our room was are spacious, clean and comfortable. Absolutely marvelous views.

I had a wonderful massage with Julia! Magical hands and a true professional.

Beautiful location and feels meditative

A very warm, clean and comfortable hotel. Spacious room with large bathroom and walk in shower. Beautiful location.

Breathtaking scenery! The hotel is extremely clean, giant bathrooms and very comfortable beds!! Good central location to explore Islay.

A very polished set up, great for long walks on the beach

Great staff. Incredibly helpful.

Stay was Wonderfull. Getting to the facility and into town is a challenge as taxi’s are inconsistent. The Golf is wonderful, golf staff could have been more helpful as we nearly ran out of golf balls (wish they had encouraged us to purchase extra as we were renting) the course is very challenging and absolutely breathtaking with beauty. I would absolutely return for another trip.

This hotel is beautifully decorated, very modern and has amazing views.

Absolutely beautiful area and a wonderful hotel! I would absolutely stay here again!

This was not an inexpensive stay for us, but we certainly got what we paid for. The food and facilities were first rate and though we're not golfers we enjoyed walking along the course and out along the shore

The blonde haired girl that worked the reception was very friendly and helpful. Was given a handicap room but we did not book one so the sink was shallow and very low. For 2 days our toilet did not flush so we had to use the toilet by the golf shop—very inconvenient. The front desk said they would move us to another room after someone checked out. When I inquired about the new room the gentleman behind the front desk waved a piece of paper at me and said he had accepted a reservation on the vacant room. The restaurant was very good. The maiterde was excellent. Service was slow sometimes but staff was always very friendly and helpful. The lobster bisque was my favorite. The salmon was as very good and so was the duck. The breakfast was also very good.

The staff at the hotel was so courteous and helpful. The food at the restaurant was average.

First visit and we loved the hotel and the island. We loved the walk down to the beach.

Where to begin with this place: - reservation: made a refundable reservation in April through hotels.com. A few days later, wanted to amend the reservation from 3 to 2 days. The hotel wouldn’t pick up, hotels.com couldn’t reach them. Either way, hotels.com said it would be fine. Fast forward to the stay in June, I show them the email, they acknowledge the attempt and say we’re good at check in. At check out, they refuse to give me a bill of my stay saying I made it through a third party service (having stayed at hubdreads of hotels I have never seen this before). Of course, they charge me for the 3 nights. It’s been a week and they are still refusing to pay me back. Nightmare! - Rooms: we stayed in 2 rooms that weee beyond tiny, holiday inn style quality and paying £300 pounds a night. Stay at the Port Charlotte or the Islay for much better value Service - my husband was preparing for knee surgery and they did nothing to help him. No wheelchair on site. We were told to walk the golf course to find my dad even though the course was empty and they could have driven or lent us a golf cart. 0 help for his disability. Restaurant - the food is awful. Don’t eat here. Had to order a steak raw for something even close to medium. £55 surf and turf was barely edible.

Beautiful and serene, looking out over the golf course and the water!
