Testimonials

Wonderful experience. Our first experience of Persabus was Don’s smiling and welcoming face. He showed us to our room, which was spotless then informed us of various places of interest could be found. Had a great two day stay and with Don’s help, experienced the best of Islay. Breakfast was outstanding each morning with Rosemary doing the cooking and Don filling us in on other things to see… what a neat couple. Guys, hope you received the key we forgot to leave, we mailed it as soon as we could. We thoroughly recommend a stay here, you cannot ask for better care or experience. PS: Be sure to visit the Islay Wollen Mill, Don wil tell you how to get there.
