Celebrate at Islay

If you have an important anniversary or celebration coming up, then finding the perfect place to host it is crucial. Here at Islay Cottages, we can offer plenty of accommodation to bring all your loved ones together to enjoy the beauty and attractions of Islay together.

Our accommodation offerings mean that celebrations on Islay can last over a weekend or even longer. Take advantage of everything the island has to offer, without needing to choose one over the other.

For example, why not gather everyone together for a personalised tour around one of the island’s distilleries? Lagavulin is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, and offers a range of tours. These include an exclusive distillery experience where you get to hand-fill a 20cl bottle of a single cask whisky. What a perfect memento for a perfect celebration!

If you are looking for some delicous food during your stay, then Peatzeria should be top of your list. Run by the same friendly folk who run Islay Cottages, Peatzeria offers local and seasonal food like you may not have experienced before. Situated in Bowmore, Peatzeria offers delights such as an Islay lobster pizza. It’s not to be missed for that special celebration dinner!
