The place even manages to make you forget about the weather. You will want to relax on a rainy day and discuss with Margaret. When the shower stops, the convenient location makes it very easy to visit the island, especially if you arrive at Port Askaig. All in all, the most difficult moment was to leave the place! More

Looking for accomodation on Islay I found a guesthouse, which The Scottish Tourist Board had found worthy of five stars! How can you believe it´s possible to find a five star guesthouse in the countryside on a remote island as Islay! How can it be true? After having been welcomed by Margaret, after having had a delicious meal the first... More

My wife and I stayed here on the last leg of our honeymoon in Scotland. Staying at Kilmeny on Islay was the perfect way to conclude a wonderful holiday. We actually made a booking at another B&B and there was a mixup - we were very fortunate to have found an alternative at Kilmeny. We were offered the suite, which... More

Kilmeny is in a lovely setting with extensive views. We were greeted by the charming and very solicitous Margaret, who offered us tea. We were booked into the Apricot Room, but were shown to the Gold, a spacious, long room with eaves and £10 more but worth the extra. It was immaculate, with lots of comfy chairs, a large bathroom...

Excellent from start to finish - There had been a slight mix-up with our booking but Margaret bent over backward to get somewhere for my husband and myself to stay for 2 nights which she did and when we did arrive at Kilmeny we were given tea and cakes in the sitting room before being shown up to our room...

I wish there were 6 stars for the excellent food and service we experienced at the Kilmeny Guest House. My wife and I stayed here in the midst of 2 weeks in Scotland. The people were lovely (both perfect owner Margaret and the other guests). Margaret and Blair are the nicest hosts you could meet, they really genuinely want you... More

This is an excellent place to stay if you aim for quality and an extraordinary environment. Margaret is a perfect host providing a very professional and and warm atmosphere. From Kilmeny you can easily discover the whole island day by day. The dinner Margaret provides on request on Tuesday and Thursday is an experience by itself. Don't miss it! Bernd... More

All those great reviews are correct - we loved our visit to Kilmeny! Arriving on the last ferry, we were warmly greeted by our hosts and welcomed to our room which did, as I'd hoped, have those homemade oat cookies and that wee decanter of Islay whisky!!! We'd come to take in two days of the annual whisky festival, but,... More

We had an amazing two nights at the Kilmeny House. Margaret greeted us with a big smile, hug and warm welcome. We were brought into the sitting room where we were introduced to two other couples that had just arrived. We were served tea and a variety of homemade biscuits and fruit breads. Margaret took the time to show each... More
