We spent to little time on Islay this trip. So next rime we will book directly with the staff as she was brilliant fixing up a Bookings.com mistake. The view from the upstairs bedrooms, of their tiny harbour and surrounding tidal flats is peaceful.

The lady receptionist who also ran the bar was very welcoming. There is nothing to fault. Residents were able to eat takeaways in the bar. I didn’t but that was nice. The whole place looked freshly decorated.

This is one occasion when the experience inside the hotel is better than you expect when you see the place from the outside. The hotel is in the centre of Port Ellen and its exterior is uninspiring but everything inside the hotel is wonderful - quality of rooms, food, bar and above all the excellent staff. We'll be very happy to return!
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.
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!
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.
This is the rooms for the drivers of our 36 pax group. We didn't get the chance to stay in the property as our ferry was cancelled due to bad weather condition. We appreciated hotel staff called us in the very beginning when the news was released so that we have more time to adjust our itinerary.
Comfortable and pretty room, excellent service (particularly one of the ladies in the restaurant, who was charming and funny), gorgeous views and a very nice walk into the woods next to the hotel.
We really enjoyed the food!
Great location to visit destilleries, the beaches etc from.
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.
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
Very comfortable beds, good food and very friendly staff. Great Price which included breakfast. Plenty of private parking. The hotel is in an excellent central location on the island in easy reach of all the main settlements.
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 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 and the grounds are beautiful. Very nicely done and maintained and the location is great. One of the managers (Chris) as well as the bar staff and waiters were very welcoming and accommodating.
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.
