The Machrie

With panoramic views across the golf links to the idyllic 7 miles of silver sands at Laggan Bay the hotel only opened late 2018 but already has been recognised as "Scottish Hotel of the Year 2020" and our historic golf links today is ranked in the top 20 courses in Scotland. 

Hotel facilities include our iconic Restaurant 18 and Stag Lounge with panoramic views across the golf links out to the west and also benefits from the spectacular evening sunsets.  The Kildalton room can be used for meetings, small private dinners and weddings, our courtyard is great for summer barbecues and the Snug for private whisky tastings.  There is also a small screening room (cinema) for 35 people and small Spa with a gym, sauna and two treatment rooms.

Our golf facilities include the renowned 18 hole Machrie Links, founded in 1891 it is now ranked in the top 20 courses in Scotland and the Islay Golf Club still operates from The Machrie today.  Complimenting the links is our 6 hole, par 3 Wee Course, driving range and teaching studio.

 

We know island life is not for everyone, but if you do not need the bright lights to be entertained, and instead can equally enjoy a simpler life appreciating nature and the outdoors, then why not get in touch?
