Bridgend Hotel Shortlist*
Bridgend, Highland
Good Hotel Guide Review
On the Islay Estate at the heart of an Inner Hebrides island famed for its malt whiskies, this stone-built Victorian hotel in ‘glorious gardens’ sits amid lochs, deserted beaches, and hills roamed by red and roe deer. Bedrooms in contemporary style have a restful palette. You can dine in Katie’s Bar, with its brightly coloured bucket chairs and log fire, or in the restaurant, on home-grown produce, estate game, lamb and beef, locally landed fish and shellfish – maybe Loch Gruinart oysters and ‘great venison’. Service is ‘friendly, courteous and professional’. The estate is a popular destination for shooting and fishing folk, while walkers can pick up trails nearby. (Katherine E Putnam)

Good Hotel Guide articles about
Bridgend Hotel
From check-in to check-out, the staff could not have been more helpful or positive. They have clearly thought through their guests' comfort. Cari Anne is fabulous and so are the staff in the dining room. This hotel is centrally located on Islay making it easy to tour the island. The building is old and the walls are solid, so noise from other rooms cannot be heard. There are lovely walking trails nearby. The food is largely locally sourced, and our meals were superb. The dining room is quiet enough so you can hear your companions even when the room is full. The lounge is attached to the bar and casual dining which is clearly enjoyed by people other than guests at this small hotel.
