What's included when staying at Ardbeg House
Stay in the Land of Legends
Come by sea or air, past whitecaps and sea-monsters. Only to land on an island of Vikings, Monks and Norse Raiders.
Step inside: this is more than a room. This is Islay. Ardbeg-style.
Bold, lavish and a little unexpected. From the Monster Room to the Legend Room, each space channels a different side of Islay and Ardbeg.
Twelve rooms. Twelve tales. Every bedroom at Ardbeg House is individually designed. Story-driven spaces with playful details and hidden surprises. Explore the artefacts, and yes… hunt the room.
There’s miniatures of Ardbeg hidden in every room for you to find.
Perks of the peat
What’s Included (as standard)

Ardbeg's story is one of irrepressible spirit surviving against the odds.
Dine & Dram
Downstairs, our Signature Restaurant showcases the best of Islay’s larder with an Ardbeggian twist — modern Scottish dishes in striking surroundings. Next door, the Islay Bar pours Ardbeg (including occasional exclusives), classic cocktails and an all-day casual menu.
