Bruichladdich is a distillery village, situated on the peninsula known as the Rhinns of Islay on the shores of beautiful Loch Indaal and is an excellent base for visiting the wonderful and unique Isle of Islay. As well as the distillery, there is a handy mini-market where you can buy daily groceries. Just 2 miles down the road, is the bigger village of Port Charlotte, with its charming white stone cottages, hotel, restaurant, café, village shop with post office, as well as a museum and wildlife visitor centre. There’s also a restaurant, bar and children’s playground at Port Mor, just outside the village. A recent addition for walkers is The Loch Indaal Way, a coastal walk connecting the two villages of Bruicladdich and Port Charlotte, ideal for any ability.
Bruichladdich is about 20 minutes’ drive from the two ferry ports of Port Ellen and Port Askaig (advance booking advisable) and just 10 minutes from the main town of Bowmore, which has a charming small village character, with plenty of amenities and a good variety of shops, hotels and restaurants, banks, post office and swimming pool with fitness centre. There are many small villages within a short driving distance, with Port Ellen being the principal fishing port and ferry terminal on the island with shopping facilities, hotels, restaurants, post office and pontoons available for yachts.
The world famous, challenging golf links at Machrie are about 15 miles away nestled alongside 7 miles of pristine beach. At the ferry port of Port Askaig, you can catch a ferry to the Isle of Jura which also has a world class reputation for whisky and beautiful scenery. Islay is known as ‘The Queen of the Hebrides’, and can be easily accessed by ferry from Kennacraig in Kintyre or from Oban. The island is quite large and is a paradise for birdwatchers, ramblers, fishermen, golfers, artists, lovers of fine food and, of course, there are nine (and counting!) whisky distilleries to visit and savour. Ideal for an adventurous family, with sandy beaches to explore, fabulous walking and, being fairly flat, it is perfect for cycling. Beach 500 yards.

Great cottage. Clean, comfortable and homely.Good sized and enclosed garden for the dog. Great location for getting about the island. Not to mention staggering home distance after a tour and taste at the distillery!Wood burning stove was amazing every evening but there were no utensils (poker, sweep etc) for maintaining and cleaning it.

This was the perfect base for our family holiday, with our 2 children aged 9 and 11.
This was the perfect base for our family holiday, with our 2 children aged 9 and 11. Ideal location for exploring the beautiful island. The house was clean and welcoming, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The garden overlooks fields and we really enjoyed watching the wildlife. When we had a minor issue with the TV Peter sorted it out very promptly which we were very grateful for. Wouldn't hesitate to go back or to recommend the house to family and friends. Thank you!
Located within view of the Bruichladdich Distillery, at the end of a small Cul de sac with a nice garden and great views.
Amenities were as advertised, clean, and generally very well equipped.
Perfect bolthole for our short Islay whisky trip for our group of 4 friends.
A touch on the small side for 4 large men sharing rooms, but it worked and everything went very smoothly.
Key collection was simple, TV, Cooker, Fridge etc... all in working order. A nice welcome pack explained some local attractions.
All in all, a great little holiday home for a trip to Islay!
