I have to say I chose this as my place to stay because I was intrigued to visit the hotel with my last name (Hart) on Islay. It is old and dated, not much has been upgraded, there is no internet service anywhere, in fact they only have one terminal to accept credit cards, so to pay for dinner you... More

Stayed 3 nights during the low season, staff were friendly but difficult to find at times. Breakfast was fantastic- cereal, porridge and full Scottish all on offer. We ate in twice, food was pub grub with very large portion sizes. Nothing fancy. The rooms are basic- they lack bedside tables. The wardrobes are just boxes that are open to the... More

Everything... More

We stayed at this hotel for two nights. The room was small and the bathroom was in the hallway. The beds were bunk beds. Of course, we knew this when we booked the room. But the staff was young, and their behavior was not quite as friendly as the rest of the island. the food was good, especially the breakfasts.... More

I recently stayed at the White Hart while over on a trip to Islay, found the staff very friendly and helpful. Evening meals were excellent especially while eating in front of their roaring fire in the lounge bar, and breakfasts just of the same quality and just what was needed in the morning. I stayed in a warm and clean... More

On Islay for work, but with a little more time than usual. This hotel is one used by my employers and have stayed in the White Hart previously. Yes, there is a need for upgrade to the decor - but the room was spotless, comfortable, and well priced. The staff were very helpful, and the night stayed over the hotel... More

Within a stones throw of Port Ellen ferry terminal, a short drive from the island's airport and with easy access to the local bus service, getting to and from the hotel couldn't be easier.
