Twelve rooms each built around one of Ardbeg's own stories, a complimentary distillery tour, a nightly Whisky Hour, and a restaurant built on what Islay itself produces.
Twelve individually themed bedrooms and suites, in the former Islay Hotel on Port Ellen's waterfront — bought by Ardbeg in 2022 and reopened as Ardbeg House in September 2025 after a full refurbishment. Russell Sage Studio and more than twenty Scottish and Islay makers worked on the interiors, right down to copper salvaged from a retired still and a chandelier built from a decommissioned fishing boat; every room hides a miniature dram somewhere in the décor.
The Islay Bar pours whiskies from five island distilleries — Bowmore, Bunnahabhain, Bruichladdich, Lagavulin and the full Ardbeg range — alongside Badger Juice, a small-batch dram found nowhere else, poured nightly at Whisky Hour (6.15pm). The Signature Restaurant serves modern Scottish cooking built on Hebridean produce: bread from the distillery's own grain, crab and prawns landed locally, and Cornabus Farm beef smoked over Ardbeg's own whisky-barrel staves. Open Wednesday to Sunday, 6–9pm.
Every evening the Islay Bar pours Badger Juice — a small-batch dram found nowhere else — the house's own ritual for anyone staying the night.
