I have wanted to go to Islay for a while, because I love the Whisky from there, and I love Scotland... so I figured I would enjoy Islay. I could not have been more right... I took a friend and we had an absolutely incredible time on Islay. Mary at the Trout Fly really helped out by giving us advice,... More

Excellent, friendly and helpful host and en-suite rooms with all the amenities you'd expect. Very happy, wish I'd been there longer - would stay here again and recommend you do too. If you're taking an early ferry in or out of Islay it's a no-brainer to stay in clean comfort at The Trout Fly in Port Ellen, but there are... More

Unbelievable service and welcome. Naively, we didn't appreciate the dearth of taxis on the island, so as well as running a lovely guest house they ferried us to and from the airport, distilleries and golf and always with a smile and no mention of petrol money. Highly recommended.

Couldn't ask for better. Lovely wee B+B, Mary was a very warming welcoming host. Room was spotless, likewise the en suite. Breakfast was spot on. Brilliant wee place would definitely recommend it to anyone.

This B&B sits on Charlotte Street less than 2mins from the Port Ellen Ferry Terminal. At first glance not the most attractive of streets but the TroutFly is a real gem. Wonderful hosts nothing too much bother and just go that extra mile to ensure your stay is more than satisfactory. The bedroom was clean, tidy and warm. Our room... More

Maureen & Jason, Ann & Bernard stayed here for a couple of days B&B at the end of August. We spoke to Donald to book. He was pleasant and helpful. Mary greeted us on our arrival and was so welcoming. The place was spotlessly clean, the breakfasts very satisfying and we were treated as friends. We were able to relax... More

This is a luxury B&B with nice, tidy rooms, a lounge with tartar carpet and a lot of lovely details that really invite to use it as well (which is not the case in a lot of B&B). The owners were very friendly and even offered me and two other guests to drive us over to Ardbeg as this would... More

We have visited Islay many times to see relatives but this is the first time we have stayed at the Trout Fly and we would thoroughly recommend it. Mary and Donald made us most welcome and the accommodation is spotless, modern and very comfortable. Breakfast is endless and delicious with many items to choose from. We shall definitely stay again.... More

Islay is beautiful and Mary recommended a stunning walk for us to do near Port Ellen. We had a great time at the distilleries. Port Ellen was a good place to stay to walk to the distilleries in the south. The guest house was clean and comfortable. Mary was welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was tasty. We had a brilliant time... More

We had a lovely stay during the Islay Festival 2012 - the rooms were scrupulously clean, comfortable and Mary is a wonderful host. The breakfasts were HUGE and delicious (a good breakfast is essential when you are going whisky tasting!) and there was a good variety of cooked items, cereal, toast and juice. We had the double room with a... More
