Win an escape to a Scottish Isle
We’ve teamed up with The Machrie on the Isle of Islay to offer you and a guest the chance to win an escape to a Scottish Isle
Nestled in the dunes of a seven-mile beach on Islay, the Queen of the Hebrides, lies The Machrie – a modern, relaxed hotel with world-class golf links. The hotel’s rooms, suites and lodges provide a stylish base to explore this stunning Scottish island.
Home to an abundance of wildlife, guests can travel the coastline of Islay in search of seals, Arctic terns and elusive otters. The hotel can also plan a day trip to see neighbouring islands or to discover Islay’s skerries, beaches, and hidden lagoons.
The Machrie can arrange bike excursions, sea kayaking, archery, nature trails, fly fishing, shooting, beach picnics and film nights in the hotel’s very own cinema room. Additionally, The Machrie’s 18-hole golf course, ranked in the top 100 in the world, is perfect for avid golfers wishing to experience one of Scotland’s finest Championship links, or even new players wanting to try a round on an award-winning course. There is also a six-hole Par 3 Wee Course, as well as an all-weather driving range and indoor golf studio for those wanting to practise their swing.
The 18 Bar & Restaurant has a south-west facing terrace affording stunning sunset views over the ocean. The menu is locally sourced and celebrates the very best that Scotland has to offer.
In homage to Islay’s nine whisky distilleries, The Machrie’s bar features an impressive collection of whiskies, while The Snug, Stag Lounge and The Courtyard Lounge are a welcoming place to relax. Whisky enthusiasts might enjoy a guided distillery tour, highlighting the history of the island’s peaty single malts, renowned for their salty and smoky aromas.
