We were lucky enough to spend Xmas on Islay staying at the excellent Machrie Hotel with friends. To begin, here’s a wee taster of the accoms. They’re really fabulous!
The Hotel (and 18th Green):
Our two-bedroom lodge:
Very nice!
And so to the topic at hand. The weather was generally uncooperative for the playing of the golf, but Xmas Eve presented a decent opportunity to venture forth upon the Links.
This was our first time staying on site but our third playing of the Course and the first for our friends. We hadn’t endured six hours of driving, a two-hour ferry and a stopover in Inveraray for nothing!
Apologies for breaking this over a few posts, but I started a long one a couple of days ago and lost the lot. This Site’s formatting gets ever worse!
