About The Bruce
For visitors after a no-nonsense base on Islay, The Bruce offers bed and breakfast on Shore Street in Bowmore, within easy reach of the town's pubs and restaurants. It suits those happy to keep things simple: a comfortable room, a proper breakfast, and sea views rather than extra frills.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, free WiFi and drinks available in the room, and the property runs a 24 hour reception so arrival times are flexible. Breakfast is included, setting guests up well before a day out on the island.
Bowmore itself has a pub and restaurant scene close by, along with entertainment and fishing options nearby, and Bridgend Beach is a short drive away. It's a fitting choice for anyone wanting an unpretentious stay with the coast on the doorstep.
What guests say
very comfortable room With a modern en suite half bath and a great view. The common area has a fridge and a microwave. Should you want them. The bruise sits between two very good restaurants and just across the street from a excellent café. The co-op grocery is around the corner, so you will never want for good food or drink! AnnMarie was a lovely host and I would stay here again on my next trip.

Clean, modern room that offers all one needs for a stay in Bowmore. Only the curtains were poor, barely blocking out any of the light. For the check-in we needed to call with a phone provided at the entrance but that was easily done. The provided breakfast to go was basic but enough for hitting the road the next day. The location of the hotel is ‘dangerously’ close to the Bowmore distillery if you plan to visit the bar over there 😉

The little details in the room made it absolutely gorgeous, the view was lovely. A large and very clean bathroom with local body products that smelled delicious. And left my hair so soft! Thank you for that! Great location, just a small walk to get to Bowmore Distillery, so if you plan to visit it, this is the place for you! Annmarie, the host, is the perfect host. I couldn't have asked for a better service! She is a delight to talk to and is always available, just a message or phone call away. I definitely plan to visit Bowmore again in the future, and surely this is the place I will stay at! No doubt
