Dha Urlar

Beautiful location and base for exploring the island. Close enough to Bowmore to pop into town for a meal. Can walk it but a bit tough in the dark, so recommend a car (not sure you can easily navigate the island without one). That said, Jim does provide a taxi and whiskey tour service, which we didn't use since we had a car but I am sure it would have been a hoot - Jim is a proud islander who is happy to share his love of the island with guests. He and his wife, Caroline, were very welcoming and cook up a mean breakfast. We felt right at home and the bed was sooooo comfy. Thank you :)

Fantastic stay at Dha Urlar. Caroline and Jim put us at ease and introduced us to the other guests staying at the house. our room was lovely and clean. Had everything we needed for a very comfy stay. Lovely to have a communal area to relax in after a hard days island exploring. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice and Jim knows all the best place to visit. we will be back next year!!

Lovely huge room with views, a tasty breakfast cooked right before our eyes, and very amiable hosts. The surrounding area was also very convenient for visiting the island. We had a very pleasant stay at Dha Urlar.

Compared to other places where we have stayed this time and in the past, we thought the price was a bit steep. That said, we did love the fact that our room was in a separate house, so in the end, it was worth it just for a couple of nights.

Jim gave us a great overview of the island and its history and made recommendations about where we should go given what we wanted to do. Breakfast was delicious and we knew we had someone looking out for us if anything were to go wrong. We had a wonderful stay!

The breakfast was very good.

We tried to book accommodation on Gighia not Islay. Therefore could not reach accommodation . Booking .com filters are not working. Not the fault of DahUrlar

Great breakfast Great hosts

Food and room were good.

We depended on taxi, but this was the weak aspect of our trip. Cell reception on the island was sketchy (nonexistent in Port Askaig). The bed and breakfast owners didn’t indicate before we arrived that we needed to make taxi arrangements before arriving on Islay. Booking.com provided no accurate information about island transportation for travelers without personal cars.

Beautiful views and very comfortable. Caroline and Jim were very hospitable and knowledgable of the area. Breakfast freshly cooked to order, which could be eaten in the kitchen or dining room.
