Port Askaig Hotel is a picturesque, family run Highland Inn on the shores of the Sound of Islay, overlooking the pier at which daily car ferries berth on arrival from the Scottish mainland.
There was an Inn at Port Askaig four hundred years ago and this is now incorporated in the Hotel as the public bar. The rest of the building dates back to the eighteenth century. Now adapted to provide a high standard of comfort with modern kitchens, great care has been taken to preserve the character and peace of a bygone age.
Port Askaig is a charming hamlet clustered round the pier. There is little else apart from the Hotel, the Shop, the Post Office and a good road which winds up the well wooded hill to the rest of the island. Another road stretches along the coast with fine sea and mountain scenery. It passes through the distillery villages of Caol Ila and Bunnahabhain which produce some of the finest malt whisky for which Islay is so justly famous. High above Port Askaig is the Dunlossit Estate. Here are situated the beautiful lochs of Ballygrant, Lossit and Allan. All are easily approached by road and well stocked with excellent trout. The charges for fishing, which include the use of a boat, are very reasonable.
