Jura Hotel

We visited with friends after visiting Islay. The hotel is beautifully situated and the views from the hotel are lovely.|Jura is a beautiful island. Walking is good, and can accomodatecthosexwantibg flat walks and those needing more difficult trails.|There is wildlife and whisky.|The Lussa gin is excellent too.|The staff at the hotel were very good, the managing couple who run the hotel and the kitchen are very friendly and personable.|The food was excellent, and prepared with local produce wherever possible.|We really enjoyed our stay. I have no hesitation recommending the hotel and Jura for a holiday

I've never encountered a General Manager with a work ethic like it - ironically the only time that Tracey didn't seem to be around was when I was leaving and was going to say "goodbye" and "thank you" (there was somebody else to check me out and wish me on my way, so all good!)! I'd hear that this place was a bit 'hit and miss', but being the only realy place to stay on Jura I was prepared for Fawlty Towers.... However fortunately my visit has coincided with 'new management' and my expectations were greatly exceeded - rooms were lovely, food was great, and the welcome was warm and genuine. I

What a wonderful experience, the quality of dinner and breakfast with the use of exquisite local ingredients, the welcoming helpful staff, the views, the relaxation, the feeling of home away from home. I would certainly recommend this hotel too my friends, which is currently also fairly priced. Renovations will be taking place over the winter we have been told and I hope the pricing remains competitive thereafter. If so I will certainly return.

This a hotel with a difference. It is also a campsite, and possibly the only one on Jura. Cycle and tent friendly and very welcoming. Pitches were on a large field in front of the hotel and next to the beach. The toilets,though unisex, were perfect, clean and modern. They were separate from the hotel as such and were accessed by a key fob which was provided by reception for a returnable deposit. Though we cooked for ourselves, meals are available at the hotel. There is also a small shop nearby which which will cater for most people's needs. Perfect.

Actually staying in a cottage in the village but visited the pub for a drink. Good selection of draught lager and beer but an even better selection of local spirits. Food is delicious and fresh, and quickly cooked and delivered to the table. Reasonably priced food and the local lager is a reasonable £5.50 a pint. Views from the bar windows are unbeatable, and no doubt that applies to the restaurant too. Hotel is just in front of the Jura Distillery, an also must visit when you're on the island.

Beautiful location. Great food and atmosphere. I wasn't happy with the cashless service they're boasting about. It's really a ploy to sneak a 10% service charge onto every bill without you noticing. I don't like being pressured into leaving a tip.

Arriving in Jura, a couple of hours before our check in we stopped in Craighouse for a drink at the Jura Hotel. The bar was really nicely fitted out with great views of the harbour, and most importantly was dog friendly. Service was great, and when chatting to the barmen, they tried to sell us the new scallops special on the menu.. despite us having a full Scottish breakfast three hours before, we went for it.. and wow!! |It was so good we revisited the following day, and had the scallops again, this time followed by fantastic main courses. Totally recommend!!

Gave the pub 5 stars and would definitely recommend it, but didn’t stay at the hotel. b|But have heard its change of management this year has turned the hotel into a lovely place to stay.
