The hotel is approximately 25 minutes from the airport and 35 minutes from either port. The hotel is 30 km from Glenegedale.

Leisure and Culture
The Port Charlotte Hotel is a base for exploring the wildlife and scenery. Guests can view an art collection with a leaning to 'The Glasgow School' of artists. Distillery tours and tastings, plus visits to cultural places such as the historical site of Finlaggan and the Islay Woollen Mill, can be arranged. Loch Indaal spreads across the horizon, framed by low-slung hills.
“In my opinion, this is a charming family-run hotel with a cosy bar atmosphere that appeals to tourists and locals alike. What stands out is its award-winning whisky bar, exceptional local seafood dining, and proximity to attractions like Bruichladdich Distillery. It's a welcoming beachside accommodation for families looking to explore Islay's rich culture.”
