About this property

Machrie View - a lodge that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

The lodge boasts four beautifully furnished, individually designed bedrooms with 'ziplock hotel' beds which can be configured to your preference: four superking sized double beds (1 per bedroom) / eight twin beds (2 per bedroom) or a combination of both. Each of the four bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms. There is also a separate bathroom which is perfect for a relaxing bath or (if you are like us) to bathe young children.

The open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge is located on the first floor to take advantage of the uninterrupted breath-taking views over Laggan Bay, the Mull of Oa and out to the Atlantic.

The space is perfect to relax and socialise with an adjacent balcony which allows you to take in the fresh air or dine and drink al fresco!

Nb. There is a minimum three night stay required for bookings. If this does not suit your requirements please contact us directly to discuss; we will aim to be as flexible as possible.

Islay is the southernmost island of the Inner Hebrides, just off the West Coast of Scotland. Known as the ‘Queen of the Hebrides', Islay is an amazing island experience – dramatic coastal seascapes, wild inland freshwater lochs, some of the best wild brown trout and salmon fishing and numerous species of wildlife, especially birds.

There's plenty to explore on Islay – whether it's a trip back in time to explore the heritage and history of the island; a trip to the world-famous whisky distilleries of Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg or Bowmore (to name but a few!), a round on the recently redesigned Machrie Links or a more adventurous outdoor experience – there will be something to suit your tastes.

For the food lovers amongst you, there is a thriving restaurant scene which can be found in Port Ellen, Bowmore and Port Charlotte which showcases the best produce that the island and the West Coast of Scotland has to offer.

No matter what time of year you choose to visit Islay, you will be in awe of the natural beauty of the Island!

Excellent trip
A great house in great condition in a great location! We were 4 couples, a young child and a dog. The house was very clean and ideal for our needs. Whilst we all drove and got the ferry across, being next to the airport was an added bonus seeing the plane twice a day (for the children of all ages!). The windows are very well insulated and completely blocked any road/plane noise. We would have no hesitation in staying here again.

A Relaxing Retreat with Amazing Views
We spent a wonderful New Year break at Machrie View. The property was immaculate with every convenience one would need. There are amazing views giving a constantly changing vista yet with all "mod cons" for tech savvy guests. Islay is a beautifully quiet place to spend time to relax and decompress. Locals are extremely welcoming with plenty of choice of distillery visits. We hope to visit again soon. Thank you Sam and Team Machrie.

Fantastic house perfect for a larger family or group
Celebrated a family birthday and it was a perfect size of home for our grown up children, partners and us. Four en-suite bedrooms and plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. A great location for Port Ellen. Support from property manager was great when we needed it. Overall a great find and we would all love to go back and/or transport the house to Glasgow :)

Lovely house. Great location.
Machrie View is an excellent place to stay. Beautiful house in a perfect location. Ideal base from which to enjoy Islay and a very comfortable house to relax in after a nice day out exploring. Cannot recommend Machrie highly enough. It helped make our holiday very special. Would definitely stay again.
