What a wonderful place! First, the location is ideal for walks: 3min to the Ferry (if a foot-passenger), 2min to a couple of restaurants and bars, 30min to Laphroaig, 45min to Lagavulin, and 1hr to Ardbeg (and you can easily hitch a ride back to Port Ellen from other visitors). Easy parking on the street just outside. The place is super clean. The bedroom was a good size, with a well-functioning bathroom; good lighting; beds a bit hard. What made this place fun was Niall, the owner, who is full of great recommendations for things to do, and who cooks a fabulous breakfast (go for the Scottish one!!! No lunch needed!) I loved this place!

Nothing, it was great. OK, maybe softer beds. Otherwise, perfect!

Niall and his family were exceptional hosts. The (vegetarian) breakfast was wonderful, the rooms were cozy and decorated with passion and the bathroom was modern, bright and clean. We felt very welcome in the Trout Fly Guesthouse and had the most wonderful and relaxed time. Our host Niall even saved our day of departure. If we have the chance, we'll be back for sure!

Nothing at all, it was just perfect.

Niell knows everything and tells you all the information you need. He is also a great cook, the warm breakfast was nicely done (although other B'n'B-s might offer more cold options by default). He has a boatload of experience with the ways of working of the ferry company, which comes at handy when the service breaks down.

The room might be tight for some people, however the layout of the house only lends itself to this arrangement.

Niall and Linda are very outstanding host couples and Niall gives me the best hospitality experience from the time I arrive and tell me what I need to spend best of my 4-day in Islay. Niall cooks a very exceptional fine Scottish breakfast and the final day he helps me to plan the itinerary. Niall walks extra miles to help the guests. All the best to Niall and Linda.

Exceptional! A cozy, no-frills guest house within walking distance of three world class distilleries. Our host Niall was simply amazing. He and his family are incredibly welcoming and you almost feel like you are part of the family. They will “get you sorted” with using the local buses, where to grab a bite, who to call for a taxi and whatever else you might be wondering about. Exceptional hosts. The distilleries were great but these fine people will be what we remember most fondly about our stay on Islay.

Niall is a great, friendly host, he gives useful recommendations for food and things to do, and he makes tasty breakfast. The room makes you feel like home, very clean and comfy. The premise is close to the restaurants at Port Ellen and the local shops. Walkable to the three distilleries trail. Definitely good value for money.

At this price you can hardly ask for more!

Our stay at the Trout Fly Inn was memorable. Niall, our host, was fantastic. He cooked the most amazing breakfasts - try the Laphroaig waffles!! He was a fund of knowledge about Islay and looked after his guests so well. The location was brilliant, a short drive from the airport and close to the ferry terminal.

Nothing. It was all perfect.

Niall provides an intimate and personal stay in a charming and cozy house. I highly recommend the waffles at breakfast. The inn is located right on the main street in Port Ellen, convenient to the ferry and the airport.

Guests should know the rooms and beds are small, and there is little room for large suitcases nor dresser space for longer stays.

Great location, in centre of Port Ellen. handy for restaurants, pubs and of course the whisky trail. Niall was an excellent host and very knowledgeable of the island. He also kept us well informed prior to our trip regarding ferry bookings etc. Breakfasts were a standout with Niall only too happy to accommodate a biggest and smallest appetites.

Can't think of anything

The owners were incredibly nice, very helpful and accomodating. The location was fantastic, with walking distance to several distilleries and local restaurants. Amazing breakfast. The local village bar with traditional music is one to not miss!!!

Nothing. Our stay was perfect, the room was fresh and modern, we had everything and were very comfortable.
