Out and About in Bowmore

For golf lovers  we are close to the Machrie Hotel and Golf Links. For dining out we are near to the Bowmore Hotel, Lochside Hotel and Harbour Inn Restaurant. If you are hot on the whisky trail then we are a stone’s throw from Bowmore Distillery.

For architecture lovers at the top of Bowmore Main Street around the corner, you will find the famous Round Church. If you are quite active then nearby is the Mactaggart Leisure Centre.

There is cycling, walking and canoeing on Islay, and Bowmore is a fantastic base from which to explore and enjoy the scenery and nature the island is so famous for.

 

Whisky Heritage

Aldrach Cottage sits in front of a barley field that in July and August turns a beautiful golden colour, before being harvested for our distilleries. We also have a display cabinet full of whisky artefacts that emit a wonderful peaty essence, to give the true distilling aroma to the lover of the single malt.

We have a hoover, ironing board and cleaning products so all you need to bring are your clothes and food!
