Lovely house. Great location.

Machrie View is an excellent place to stay. Beautiful house in a perfect location. Ideal base from which to enjoy Islay and a very comfortable house to relax in after a nice day out exploring. Cannot recommend Machrie highly enough. It helped make our holiday very special. Would definitely stay again.

A Relaxing Retreat with Amazing Views

We spent a wonderful New Year break at Machrie View. The property was immaculate with every convenience one would need. There are amazing views giving a constantly changing vista yet with all "mod cons" for tech savvy guests. Islay is a beautifully quiet place to spend time to relax and decompress. Locals are extremely welcoming with plenty of choice of distillery visits. We hope to visit again soon. Thank you Sam and Team Machrie.

Great time

Machrie View is a splendid place to spend your vacation in Islay. It is conveniently located next to the airport (but don't worry there's only 2 flights in and 2 flights out all day so its not a nuisance) and is also located just a short drive to Port Ellen where there's pubs, a grocery store etc. The house itself is beautiful, quite spacious and great for a large group. All your amenities are in good working order. I would recommend this place to anyone else and if I return to Islay I would stay here again.

Brand new house decorated to a high standard with great facilities in a beautiful setting

The building is less than a year old so in very good condition and has been designed with comfort in mind. The kitchen and relaxing areas are fantastic and have everything you could possibly need for adult groups or young children alike regardless of the weather outside. The rooms have loads of space and the beds are very comfortable - it feels luxurious. Like every rental, there is a hint of Ikea DIY with some of the furniture especially items that haven't been built properly (drawers etc) but the large and practical bathrooms and living spaces more than make up for it. Plenty space for 6 cars and laydown area for sporting equipment outside, there is a parameter fence and hopefully there will be a gate when we return next year so our dog can roam free without chasing the sheep! A+ holiday rental compared to others on Islay we've stayed in over the past 15 years, we're already booked for next year.

A wonderful home in a beautiful setting

We spent 3 nights here as a group of 7 and everything was just wonderful. The rooms were spacious, beds were comfortable, the house was so clean and modern. We all agreed it was a fantastic place to stay and absolutely perfect for our needs.

The Machrie View blews us away!

The stay was really extremely pleasant. The house is perfectly furnished and offers everyone a great experience. We would recommend it to friends at any time and come back ourselves.

Excellent trip

A great house in great condition in a great location! We were 4 couples, a young child and a dog. The house was very clean and ideal for our needs. Whilst we all drove and got the ferry across, being next to the airport was an added bonus seeing the plane twice a day (for the children of all ages!). The windows are very well insulated and completely blocked any road/plane noise. We would have no hesitation in staying here again.

Fantastic house perfect for a larger family or group

Celebrated a family birthday and it was a perfect size of home for our grown up children, partners and us. Four en-suite bedrooms and plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. A great location for Port Ellen. Support from property manager was great when we needed it. Overall a great find and we would all love to go back and/or transport the house to Glasgow :)

Lovely House

A fantastic property with everything you could need for a comfortable visit to Islay. The house is very nicely decorated and equipped with very modern appliances. 4 large comfortable bedrooms are very flexible in their presentation. The location in the centre of the Island is ideal for exploring and the view over towards Machrie and the sea beyond is as good as it gets. The house is very near the runway of Islay airport and you are certainly affected by aircraft noise but there are only two or three flights a day and none scheduled for during the night and so this isn’t really an issue.
