"What a gem of a bungalow in beautiful Islay! The house was spotless. We are a group of two families (6 children, 10 total) traveling around Islay. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked. The best part was the VIEW! Located right on the water, you cross the street and are on the beach. The kids were able to cross the street in the evenings to play. We walked to two of our restaurants, which was a short 2 mile walk along the loch into Port Charlotte. The house is about 5 houses down from Bruichladdich Distillery! We frequented the mini-mart, which was 3 houses down and had a lovely owner who made hot sandwiches and coffee as well. We had the best time in Islay- so many things to do and see. We hope to be back, and we would be lucky to get to stay in this beautiful home!! Truly an unforgettable experience!!Photo 1 on the beach in front of the bungalowPhoto 2 the pathway to Port CharlottePhoto 3 highland cow on our path, walking to Port Charlotte. "

"The staff are angels on earth! Karl helped me fix a ferry/bus schedule problem and saved me from being stranded across the island in the dark. Lorna saved me from another transportation oversight I made, connecting me with a taxi driver that kept me on schedule. Without them my whole trip to Islay would have been a disaster, but instead, it was wonderful! Oh, and the hostel is lovely, clean, informative, and peaceful. "

"The cottage was comfortable and well located in the centre of Bowmore. The bath had not been cleaned before we arrived, so we cleaned it. The communication with VRBO was completely chaotic. We won't be using VRBO again."

"Comfortable traditional semi detached house. Everything to hand for our stay and attentive owners. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and were highly pleased with the property"
