Single track road to property which is less than a mile outside Bowmore. So not advisable to walk at night time. I had my car so wasn’t an issue for me. The owner is a Taxi driver as well so that would help people without transportation.

Modern well looked after. Staff/ owners were excellent warm and welcoming. Very helpful people and a great breakfast in the morning.

There is 30 minute hike from Bowmore, Nice in good weather but ask the hosts for options otherwise

We had the use of a house where the kitchen and sitting rooms were shared among three guest room. The rooms are generously sized with en site bath rooms. The hosts were very helpful and welcoming

Nothing I can think of.

The hosts, Jim and Caroline, are wonderful and have a lovely b&b going on. Super comfortable, clean, quiet with amazing views. Oh, and the potato scones for breakfast are to kill for!

Both Caroline and Jim were extremely friendly and accommodating. Had a great time with Jim's jokes and Caroline's stories. They cooked up a delicious breakfast for us at the time we requested each morning. Jim's taxi service was very convenient for getting around however we also enjoyed the refreshing 20min walk from Bowmore and the country scenery including the baby Lapwings in the backyard.

My stay at Dha Urlar was unforgettable, thanks in large part to the host’s “Jim” incredible hospitality and attention to detail. He went above and beyond by arranging his own trusted taxi to take us around Islay Island to explore the famous distilleries, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. The apartment itself was cozy, spotlessly clean, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Breakfast each morning was delicious, with a range of options to start the day off right.

Jim is a wealth of knowledge on all aspects of the island. Beautiful house on a beautiful island.

Beautiful location and base for exploring the island. Close enough to Bowmore to pop into town for a meal. Can walk it but a bit tough in the dark, so recommend a car (not sure you can easily navigate the island without one). That said, Jim does provide a taxi and whiskey tour service, which we didn't use since we had a car but I am sure it would have been a hoot - Jim is a proud islander who is happy to share his love of the island with guests. He and his wife, Caroline, were very welcoming and cook up a mean breakfast. We felt right at home and the bed was sooooo comfy. Thank you :)

Fantastic stay at Dha Urlar. Caroline and Jim put us at ease and introduced us to the other guests staying at the house. our room was lovely and clean. Had everything we needed for a very comfy stay. Lovely to have a communal area to relax in after a hard days island exploring. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice and Jim knows all the best place to visit. we will be back next year!!

Compared to other places where we have stayed this time and in the past, we thought the price was a bit steep. That said, we did love the fact that our room was in a separate house, so in the end, it was worth it just for a couple of nights.

Lovely huge room with views, a tasty breakfast cooked right before our eyes, and very amiable hosts. The surrounding area was also very convenient for visiting the island. We had a very pleasant stay at Dha Urlar.

Jim gave us a great overview of the island and its history and made recommendations about where we should go given what we wanted to do. Breakfast was delicious and we knew we had someone looking out for us if anything were to go wrong. We had a wonderful stay!

We depended on taxi, but this was the weak aspect of our trip. Cell reception on the island was sketchy (nonexistent in Port Askaig). The bed and breakfast owners didn’t indicate before we arrived that we needed to make taxi arrangements before arriving on Islay. Booking.com provided no accurate information about island transportation for travelers without personal cars.

Food and room were good.

Beautiful views and very comfortable. Caroline and Jim were very hospitable and knowledgable of the area. Breakfast freshly cooked to order, which could be eaten in the kitchen or dining room.

I loved this island, our hosts made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to visit. We also didn't have a car and it was no trouble for Jimmy to take us wherever we wanted. We will be back here for sure. They definitely love what they are doing.
