Islay is the southernmost island of the Inner Hebrides, just off the West Coast of Scotland. Known as the ‘Queen of the Hebrides', Islay is an amazing island experience – dramatic coastal seascapes, wild inland freshwater lochs, some of the best wild brown trout and salmon fishing and numerous species of wildlife, especially birds. There's plenty to explore on Islay – whether it's a trip back in time to explore the heritage and history of the island; a trip to the world-famous whisky distilleries of Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg or Bowmore (to name but a few!), a round on the recently redesigned Machrie Links or a more adventurous outdoor experience – there will be something to suit your tastes. For the food lovers amongst you, there is a thriving restaurant scene which can be found in Port Ellen, Bowmore and Port Charlotte which showcases the best produce that the island and the West Coast of Scotland has to offer. No matter what time of year you choose to visit Islay, you will be in awe of the natural beauty of the Island! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower ### Entertainment - Books - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the airport ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 2,260 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

The location is fantastic, with breathtaking scenery all around stunning coastline, and incredible sunsets. The peace and quiet made it the ideal getaway, allowing us to truly relax and unwind. After a hard days whisky tastings and exploring the island. The accommodation itself was beautifully furnished, with every detail thoughtfully considered for comfort and style. It felt like a home away from home, yet with a touch of luxury. From start to finish, our experience was exceptional, and we’re already counting down the days until we can return.

Four en-suite bedrooms and plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. A great location for Port Ellen. Support from property manager was great when we needed it. Overall a great find and we would all love to go back and/or transport the house to Glasgow :) ##### Gillian I.

We were 4 couples, a young child and a dog. The house was very clean and ideal for our needs. Whilst we all drove and got the ferry across, being next to the airport was an added bonus seeing the plane twice a day (for the children of all ages!). The windows are very well insulated and completely blocked any road/plane noise. We would have no hesitation in staying here again.

It is conveniently located next to the airport (but don't worry there's only 2 flights in and 2 flights out all day so its not a nuisance) and is also located just a short drive to Port Ellen where there's pubs, a grocery store etc. The house itself is beautiful, quite spacious and great for a large group. All your amenities are in good working order. I would recommend this place to anyone else and if I return to Islay I would stay here again.

The property was immaculate with every convenience one would need. There are amazing views giving a constantly changing vista yet with all "mod cons" for tech savvy guests. Islay is a beautifully quiet place to spend time to relax and decompress. Locals are extremely welcoming with plenty of choice of distillery visits. We hope to visit again soon. Thank you Sam and Team Machrie. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael C. 29 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely House A fantastic property with everything you could need for a comfortable visit to Islay. The house is very nicely decorated and equipped with very modern appliances. 4 large comfortable bedrooms are very flexible in their presentation. The location in the centre of the Island is ideal for exploring and the view over towards Machrie and the sea beyond is as good as it gets. The house is very near the runway of Islay airport and you are certainly affected by aircraft noise but there are only two or three flights a day and none scheduled for during the night and so this isn’t really an issue. ##### Michael C. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 29 Aug 2024 #### Brand new house decorated to a high standard with great facilities in a beautiful setting The building is less than a year old so in very good condition and has been designed with comfort in mind. The kitchen and relaxing areas are fantastic and have everything you could possibly need for adult groups or young children alike regardless of the weather outside. The rooms have loads of space and the beds are very comfortable - it feels luxurious. Like every rental, there is a hint of Ikea DIY with some of the furniture especially items that haven't been built properly (drawers etc) but the large and practical bathrooms and living spaces more than make up for it. Plenty space for 6 cars and laydown area for sporting equipment outside, there is a parameter fence and hopefully there will be a gate when we return next year so our dog can roam free without chasing the sheep! A+ holiday rental compared to others on Islay we've stayed in over the past 15 years, we're already booked for next year. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Golden Jubilee Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clydebank-Hotels-Golden-Jubilee-Hotel.h664349.Hotel-Information) > > [Moffat Manor Country Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moffat-Hotels-Moffat-Manor-Country-Park.h17709438.Hotel-Information) > > [Port Charlotte Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Islay-Island-Hotels-Port-Charlotte-Hotel.h34890084.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh - Queensferry Crossing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfermline-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-Queensferry-Crossing.h1152983.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromlix](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-Cromlix.h1580309.Hotel-Information) > > [Duck Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Duck-Bay-Hotel.h30097341.Hotel-Information) > > [Seamill Hydro Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Kilbride-Hotels-Seamill-Hydro-Hotel-Resort.h1818213.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow East Kilbride by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-East-Kilbride.h520428.Hotel-Information) > > [Queen of the Loch, Balloch by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Queen-Of-The-Loch-By-Marstons-Inns.h33716771.Hotel-Information) > > [Auchrannie Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Arran-Hotels-Auchrannie-Resort.h4140916.Hotel-Information) > > [Ardoe House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-Ardoe-House-Hotel-Spa.h23180.Hotel-Information) > > [Glasgow Westerwood Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-Westerwood-Spa-Golf-Resort.h893990.Hotel-Information) > > [Lochside Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Islay-Island-Hotels-Lochside-Hotel.h34865506.Hotel-Information) > > [Glenisle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Arran-Hotels-Glenisle-Hotel.h2810774.Hotel-Information) > > [The Whispering Pine Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Spean-Bridge-Hotels-The-Whispering-Pine-Lodge.h11119972.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Crutherland House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Macdonald-Crutherland-House-And-Spa.h569463.Hotel-Information) > > [Gleddoch Golf & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Glasgow-Hotels-Gleddoch-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h1502522.Hotel-Information) > > [Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dalmahoy-Hotel-Country-Club.h21999.Hotel-Information) > > [Parklands Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Parklands-Hotel-Country-Club.h14766742.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kenmore Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-The-Kenmore-Club.h9234110.Hotel-Information) > > [Lochside House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cumnock-Hotels-Lochside-House-Hotel-Spa.h900570.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Boutique Huntingtower Perth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perth-Hotels-Leonardo-Boutique-Huntingtower-Perth.h859382.Hotel-Information) > > [The Busby Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-The-Busby-Hotel.h10004759.Hotel-Information) > > [Coylumbridge Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Coylumbridge-Resort-Hotel.h520458.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tarbet Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-The-Tarbet-Hotel.h13407451.Hotel-Information) > > [Portavadie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tighnabruaich-Hotels-Portavadie.h11974275.Hotel-Information) > > [Another Place, The Machrie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Islay-Island-Hotels-The-Machrie-Hotel-Golf-Links.h24029657.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranraer-Hotels-Portpatrick-Hotel.h13430754.Hotel-Information) > > [Bowfield Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johnstone-Hotels-Bowfield-Hotel-Country-Club.h1796965.Hotel-Information)
