We normally don't write reviews, but Kenny's place definitely deserves a quick word of praise: spacious, clean, comfortable, and simply but thoughtfully equipped for self-catering - everything as straightforward as the friendly communication with the host. Perfectly located right in the middle of Port Ellen for Islay's best mini-pub crawl (No. 1 Ardview, rinse & repeat), and of course, within walking (or staggering) distance of Laphroaig, Lagavulin, and Ardbeg. We spent a wonderful first week of March there. Oh, and cheers to Caro & Peter!

We enjoy every stay in that very nice house, well furnished and well located to visit Islay. We come back every time we can. Congratulations for all the improvements made recently by Kenny.

We visited Islay in April and stayed in A'Chroit for a week. The house is very comfortable in a quiet street Large kitchen too. Long walks, lovely meals, great whisky's. Made the three-distillery walk, went to Colonsay and Jura. The week was too short. Had a great week and the weather was nice. One day a bit of rain. Until next time.

Lovely house in a great village. We were visiting family in February it was cold as expected but the sun was shining everyday.

Excellent location and very well equipped, we really enjoyed our week on Islay. Weather was fine and got to see most of the island with a hire car. It was a relief to find decent accomodation here after some horrible hotels at Tarbert and Edinburgh. Thank you Kenny for your help and efficiency, hope to be back soon...

Kenny has been amazing at helping with accommodation for our employees whilst they have been working at Port Ellen Distillery. They have all been very happy at the cottage, believe me, they would let me know if they weren't! 🙂 Thank you very much Kenny!

Have completely fallen in love with Islay and staying in this house could not have been more perfect. perfectly positioned with armlengths to everything needed for a group whose age ranged from just under two to sixty five. It was easy staying in the house and doing all (almost all) our cooking which included a traditional Swedish langoustine party. The langoustines ordered from the Sea Shack and none of us have ever tasted better. The garden was perfect and all the rooms had a good size. We came from 3 countries and Islay showed Scotland at its best, no rain in 6 days!! Played rounders on the beach and Portnahaven and the seals is a must. So much more on this island than distilleries. The professional photographer (daughter in law) worked 24/7.

Large house in central location in Port Ellen. The house has more than enough space, is very well equipped and is very centrally located. The house also has a small nice garden. It is in the center of Port Ellen, walking distance to the bus stop, supermarkets, the beach, pubs/restaurants and some distilleries. The house is highly recommended.

We were 4 men from Sweden who stayed at A'Chroit for a week in April. We really liked the place which had a great kitchen, good living room and the bedrooms were good as well. We couldn't have asked for anything else and it was also a walking distance to three distilleries. When we had any questions Kenny was very quick to answer them. We hope that we can stay there again.

This was our 4th time staying in A'Chroit for the Feis Ile (2016, 2017 & 2019) and the first since the pandemic. It was nice to be back and staying in such a welcoming and familiar place. Except for a very wet and midge infested Laphroaig day morning the weather was fantastic throughout the week. The location of A'Chroit couldn't be better for accessing the 3 (soon to be 5!) South Islay Whisky (& 1 Rum) Distilleries and as with previous years we enjoyed cycling the 3 Distilleries Path to enjoy their open days with special mention to Laphroaig (even with the rain and midges) and Ardbeg. Aside from the distilleries the walk to Kilnaughton Beach and Carraig Fhada made for a relaxing evening stroll. A'Chroit is well-equipped with spacious garden area for barbeques and handy outhouse for storing bikes etc. The arrival of a smart TV since we were last here would have been a welcome addition if the weather had not been so fantastic! We very much look forward to returning. Thanks again Kenny.
