Unrivalled hospitality
The host could not have been more helpful nor welcoming while the house was extremely well-equipped and thoughtfully appointed in a peaceful, rural location which provided a wonderful retreat. Within walking distance were two beautiful beaches and the equally welcoming Kilchoman distillery ( a stunning 3 mile hike to this from the house).We would happily revisit if possible.

This is a spacious, well looked after property in a remote and beautiful location. It has a well equipped kitchen, with a nice big fridge! Fabulous views from every window. The perfect place for our birdwatching, walking and exploring holiday.

The property was exactly what we required. The position on the farm was perfect with a short walk to the cove. The cottage was well presented and everything worked. The Island is beautiful and the people were very friendly and helpful.

Autumn Islay
The cottage was in a brilliant location for those of us who love peace and quiet: as we do! 15 mins up the lane from Port Charlotte. One reason we chose here was because the owner is totally local. David was a great host, knowledgeable, interesting and helpful. We were warm, cozy and comfortable after our trips out and about. Good beds too! The autumnal Islay weather was not a problem The house was equipped with everything you need. A big bonus was the great wi fi signal, so calls not a problem with wi fi enabled mobile.We enjoyed watching the farm cattle and sheep but mind you drive carefully up the road from Port Charlotte in case you might them sheltering on the road from the westerlies! Walks, distilleries, tea shops, to explore and to see Islay with Autumn colours was lovely. Think our favourite distillery was Kilchoman, field to bottle on Islay, passionate staff and just up the road. So glad we picked this house and the owner is such an asset too.

Nice location for quiet nights . Some good hikes can be taken from this location. Location is a little further than what google maps gives you but not a busy road so in and out of Port Charlotte is an easy drive. You can still cover the entire island within an hours drive. Plus close to Bruichladdich 😁

Found the 16 stairs a bit daunting....I'm 89 and walk with 2 sticks
Very clean, very well stocked, lovely location, but road from Port Charlotte probably a bit daunting for "Townies". Able to tie dog on long lead so that she could wander on the lawn. Unable to contact host as he was busy harvesting barley. Single beds a bit small for adults. Thoroughly enjoyed stay. Singe beds a bit small for adults. Can recommend it to anyone except those with limited mobility. Su.Wagner

We were met by David at the cottage who went through all the necessaries. He then told us about walks and the beaches which was ideal as we had dogs. The cottage albeit in a rural location was clean with a welcome pack and beautifully presented. We will certainly come again. Thank you David

Off the beaten track.
The property is as described in the listing. Warm, well appointed. It is located a short drive from some very good places to eat in Port Charlotte. A slightly longer drive takes you to Bowmore where there is a large Co-op and more places to eat. Islay is teeming with birdlife and archaeology and just a short walk in the countryside around the property revealed choughs and hen harriers. Further afield we saw eagles. Highly recommended.

Disappointing
It was pretty dirty and pretty shabby. Examples: the hot plate of the iron was filthy as was the ironing board cover; the washing powder tray of the washing machine was full of slimy mould; the kettle scale encrusted. One of the controls of the oven hob could not be turned to off, so when switched on at the wall, came on and stayed on. It was dangerous; the sink and the washing up bowl were both dirty etc. We left early.

Just what we wanted!
We were met by David who made us feel very welcome and talked us through the facilities of the property. Let me just say that this cottage in its location was perfect for us. My partner and I are keen wildlife photographer’s, in particular birds and we never knew which window to look out of in case we missed something! I loved being next to the farm which for me added to the experience of our stay. Would I go again? absolutely. Thankyou David,
