Lochside Hotel

臨時選擇的guest house，沒想到還不錯。 就在波摩最受歡迎的酒吧樓上，餐飲做的非常可口，晚上又是熱鬧的酒吧。儘管房間很小，真的很小，兩個行李勉強可以打開。服務員很熱情，總體感受很好，性價比超高。

The family suite was large and comfortable. However, there were no handrails on the third floor stairs leading to the room making it challenging. The staff were very helpful with the luggage. The shower was small and hard to get into. The view was great. The breakfast was very good. Recommend staying on a lower floor.

I stayed in The Lochside on a solo trip at beginning of September, before reviewing, I'd like to say a special thank-you to all the staff, including Gema (front of house) and chef Dan. Enjoyed the beers on Tuesday night and the Aidan breakfast, Wednesday morning. (Mr McG). If reading this, Gema will understand. From my arrival early on the Monday morning, late breakfast which was prepared to the early morning breakfast, on the Thursday morning, when leaving to catch a flight, my stay couldn't have better been looked after. I think I stayed in room 12 on the top floor, a super spacious room, with a single bed, super king bed, and a seating area, with great views over Loch Indaal. The room was well tastefully decorated and modern. On one morning, other rooms were open, whilst being prepared for new arrivals. Whist smaller, they all looked well decorated also. I had dinner booked in the hotel on 2 of the 3 evenings. The haggis, neeps and tatties tower and katsu curry were very tasty. They also had a couple of fish specials on each evening. The only minor issue, it would be useful to put some type of blind on the bathroom window. This faces directly into the living quarters of the Indian restaurant across the road. I probably met most of the staff having beers on the Tuesday night, sorry I can't remember your name, but thanks for all the service. This may have been my first visit to Islay (bowmore), but certainly won't be my last. Hope to see you all again in 2024. -aidan
