Jura Hotel

Cozy pub with decent beer selection and tasty food. Nice meeting place for locals and other travellers. Great name🙌 The staff needs some more training. The bartender was the only person who was rude during my stay at Jura. He'd joke about other guests and try to trick them. He spontaneously decided to close early because he had to get up in the morning despite having a full pub.

First time on Jura. The whole experience was great. Short and fast ferry crossing from Islay, beautiful road, lovely narrow road in the village with the Hotel on one side and the Distillery on the other, just 10m apart.|The hotel is Great, beautiful, lovely pub inside, very nice and helpful staff, great room.|We were lucky to get a room with a view on the sea at one window and the distillery at the other window. The room is spacious with comfortable beds. |Regarding food, it was probably one of the best cooked breakfast I have ever had. Also the restaurant serves great food, very good chefs on site. We stayed 2 nights with 2 dinners and it was fantastic.|The weather was not nice, it rained a lot but it didn't remove anything from the pleasure we had on Jura.|We will be back.

Jura Hotel We loved our stay in Jura Hotel with character, sea views and wild deer grazing outside . Our room was large and comfortable with a powerful shower and bay views . This is a character hotel that wears its age and experience well and is not like all those other hotels that have the same boring interior (you know the ones) The staff are lovely and helpful and particular thanks to Sara and Alistair who went above and beyond to accommodate us. Do not miss the Sunday Roast - one of our best ever We loved Jura’s wild location and will definitely return

We come to the island year on year. Since the hotel changed ownership we have tentatively attended the hotel hoping that the food improves and staff settle. We understand that the turnover is rapid. |This year we went on a Sunday and Wednesday. |I was delighted with the Sunday roast options, catering for vegetarian or vegans. Bravo. The service was friendly and we did enjoy ourselves. |Wednesday’s standard evening menu was disappointing. Please let the chef know that the token curry for vegetarians/ vegans is lazy and restrictive. If you’re there for meat you might fair better. But … Drinks were fine. Wine was nice. Chips were good. |The atmosphere is different to years gone by. Less locals come to the pub and its workers and sailors mainly. I have found recent years to be a bit flat with nothing extra going on (no bands etc). This is certainly not owned by someone with a passion for catering to the Jura locals or hotel industry. |Bring back local ownership! The buzz has gone.

The hotel has a great location with friendly staff, but it was quite disorganised during our stay. There was a good breakfast and the other meals were ok. We had a quiet family room for 3 but were unable to move across the room when the saggy, fold out bed was down.

Oh dear. Island hotels are not meant to be like this. We had room 16 - sold as ensuite but the bathroom is across the landing, not in the room, which is not ensuite. Sold as a double, but set up as a twin. There is an air of chaos about the place - some of the staff more willing to speak about how hard their day has been. The room was cold on the first night, warmer on the second. A fifteen minute check out, reminding the hotel about about the prior evening meal. (A couple of the hotel staff were good but it felt they were fighting against the tide.). The dinners were ok - the burger was not great. Feels that they have a monopoly on the island and their two night minimum stay only adds to that.

Great food. Best piece of venison I’ve had. Chef confident enough to serve on the rare side but beautifully cooked and amazingly tender. Lovely rhubarb desert to finish. With all the struggles these rural places have I had a great meal and would recommend. Thank-you

Service and food really poor. You pay in advance and staff don't seem like they have the knowledge to make improvements. Being from Islay I know the high standards and what visitors and locals expect and jura hotel is far from this unfortunately. I'm far from a fussy eater and who would have thought you could go wrong with a baguette and chips. The bread was like a brick, sauce flavour awful and wasn't fresh or served with a smile. Place was grubby too! Total waste of money, sadly won't be going back. I should have taken some photos.
