There is also a small mini market and cafe just along from the house which serves the best bacon rolls on the island, sandwiches and lovely Italian coffee, teas and soft drinks. So if you fancy breakfast or lunch or maybe just a coffee and a cake then we'd recommend a visit to the Mini Market. The carrot cake is fantastic! Opposite the house is the loch and as it is relatively shallow it is possible to paddle and swim. Further into Bruichladdich there is a pier from which you can fish or perhaps try your hand at crabbing. Approx 2 miles away is Port Charlotte where you will find restaurants serving fresh seafood and locally sourced oysters amongst other things. The bars and pubs are always full of very friendly locals and visitors always willing to have a chat. There is The Port Charlotte hotel which offers accommodation, food and live music at various times of the year. There is also Lochindaal Seafood Restaurant and the Lochindaal pub both offering excellent food. Just outside Port Charlotte is Port Mor, a campsite with onsite restaurant open to non-residents. This is a nice place to visit with children as there is an outside play park for the children to enjoy. If you are a lover of whisky then Islay is definitely the place to visit. Currently there are 9 distilleries on the Island. In late May, Islay's Whisky Festival -Feis Ile takes place and is usually held over 9 days. Each distillery has an open day where you can sample each whisky and enjoy some music and food. There are various other celebrations and experiences on Islay which make it a great place to visit. There is walking week, jazz festival, beach rugby tournament, Islay Half Marathon, Ride of the Falling rain (100 mile bike ride), the Islay Cattle Show and much more. Islay is a beautiful place to visit and has a lot of wildlife right on your door step. Finally please don’t forget the Islay Wave!
