Visiting in February 2012 and expecting terrible weather, we were delightfully surprised to find that the temperature was up to 13C on one day. A family party of 9, we stayed at The Bakehouse, the largest house in the complex, owned and run by Bowmore Distillery. The accommodation had 6 bedrooms, all ensuite, a nice kitchen and a huge lounge... More

I can only add to BigSpo review that this is fantastic accommodation. The quality, cleanliness and location make this place a winner. I was lucky to stay in the "Old Bakery" on the same trip and had a brilliant time. The only downside, and I mean a very small one, is that trying to cook breakfast for 13 hungry, hungover... More

Stayed here for three nights in the "Stillmans Cottage" We were in a large group and had also hired the much larger "Old Bakery" next door. The location is perfect, across the road from a pub, Chinese Restaurant, shops and round the corner from the distillery itself. The accommodation is excellent, high standards of finish and cleanliness. Would be back... More

Perfect place for a group of friends (there were 9 of us, 3 couples & 3 singles). We stayed 4 nights in the Old Bakery. It was spotless and had everything you wanted in self-catering accommodation (hairdryers, dishwasher, outdoor space etc.). All the bedrooms were en-suite. The kitchen was very well equipped. The view over the loch from the 1st... More

Very large ensuite rooms, living room and kitchen. One bedroom is downstairs, three upstairs. It is fully equipped with kitchen, dishwasher, clothes washer and all the necessaries. Has free wifi with its own... More

My husband and I traveled to Scotland with 2 friends for a bachelor/stag party weekend the following weekend, and started our own tour in Islay. We spent 2 nights there, and since there were 4 of us, the Bowmore Stillman's Cottage seemed the best deal for what we could find. At 115 GBP per night with 2 ensuite bedrooms, there... More

I stayed in the Stillmans cottage and it was lovely, exactly how self catering should be. Everything is top quality, even the hairdryer! Both bedrooms had ensuites with spa baths and huge showers. The location is fantastic, just by the sea, across from the Harbour Inn, co-op and bus stops. We did the tour and the staff were super-friendly. I... More

Gorgeous, well equipped cottage. Clean, tidy and comfortable and right in the centre of Bowmore. The staff from the visitor centre were lovely when they showed us to our cottage and were always really helpful. We were also to have a complimentary tour of the distillery but we upgraded to the craftsman's tour which was amazing and very informative. I... More
