Housed in an old whisky warehouse the hostel is situated on the beach in the picturesque village of Port Charlotte, surrounded by rolling hills and a scenic coastline, which harbours secluded sandy bays. Along with its outstanding natural beauty Islay is also famed for its diverse and plentiful wildlife, and is home to two RSPB nature reserves. It is also home to seven of Scotland’s finest whisky distilleries! With its excellent accommodation and facilities, the hostel (and the attached Wildlife Centre) is an ideal base from which to explore all that Islay has to offer.
