Two-night foodie break from £390pp
Experience Islay’s abundance when the island is bursting with fresh local produce.
Two-night foodie break from £390pp
Escape to Islay, the “Queen of the Hebrides”, to taste the best of the season in our new food-oriented break at The Machrie – a UK Top 30 Hotel (Condé Nast Traveller).
Taste the freshest Islay flavours – from shellfish and highland beef, to foraged wild garlic and homemade bread with yellow gorse or seagrass from Singing Sands. Dinner is included one night in 18 Restaurant & Bar – with its wide-angle sunset, ocean and links views. As is afternoon tea - sink back into seafood & savoury canapes, mini quiches, sandwiches, cakes, tea and coffee.
Islay is a great year-round destination. During spring and summer you’ll have optimum conditions on the fairways and greens, wildlife and wildflowers everywhere you look, a host of cultural events, and a possible glimpse of the Northern Lights if you’re lucky… You’ll also have the opportunity to visit Islay’s famous whisky distilleries, and head out for dinner in one of the great local pubs and restaurants (we can make recommendations and bookings for you) – with the chance to catch some live Scottish music.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
• Two nights in your choice of room
• Three-course dinner in 18 Restaurant & Bar with wide-angle sunset ocean and links views.
• An afternoon tea on the 18 Restaurant & Bar balcony or in the Stag Lounge, with its floor-to-ceiling windows
• A whisky flight (3 drams each) for two
• A night sky map to take out onto our stargazing deck just above the beach
