About Kilmeny Country House
Kilmeny Country House sits high on a 300-acre working cattle and sheep farm near Ballygrant, in the quiet heartland of Islay, with wide views over the surrounding hills and glen. Margaret and Blair Rozga have run the house for more than thirty years, and it holds Visit Scotland's five-star Gold award, one of the highest ratings given to any guest house in Scotland.
Bedrooms are traditionally furnished and all en-suite with both bath and shower, and the breakfasts, cooked to order and including options such as Eggs Florentine and Argyll smoked salmon, are frequently singled out by guests as the highlight of their stay. Home-baked treats and a warm welcome on arrival are part of the house's long-standing style.
Ballygrant lies close to Finlaggan, the ruined seat of the medieval Lords of the Isles, and only a short drive from Port Askaig, making Kilmeny a peaceful, well-placed base for exploring the island's quieter eastern side and the ferry crossing to Jura.
