David is a great host. Very quick to respond. The cottage is very clean. Internet was fast. Beautiful quiet area. Good to arrive to Coffee & tea and biscuits and milk in the fridge, cleaning products and bin bags all the basics. The central heating was on when I arrived late at night so the cottage was cosy and warm. Plenty of hot water. The kitchen and dining area is very light and spacious with great views of countryside. The cottage is next to a working farm so lots of sheep and cows. I was visiting friends and family ten minutes walk away. You do need to have a car when staying here, there is nothing but beautiful scenery and peace and quiet. Shops and restaurants are not within walking distance. But nothing is too far away and there is never a traffic jam on Islay and always something to see !

A lovely cottage, carpeted throughout and beautifully equipped. It's on a farm, so the business goes on around the house, but it's remote, secluded and just a few hundred yards from a lovely bay into which the sun sets at this time of year. Our host communicated very well and was always available, making the whole process easy and ensuring our stay was delightful.

This property was on a farm in a stunning location surrounded by great countryside and wildlife. Lovely sandy beaches were within a short drive. All our needs were met in the cottage which was very comfortable and very well equiped. The host was very friendly and helpful as was the rest of the family on the farm. A great place to stay to get away from it all.

Peace and Quiet

As in the title, apart from the occasional bleating of sheep and the calling of wild birds, peace and quiet are what you will find at Kilchiaran Farm Cottage - it’s simply lovely. At the same time it’s well equipped with all the necessities for a self catering stay - cooker, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge/freezer etc, and a good Wi-Fi and mobile phone connection.It’s clean and well decorated with comfortable beds and furniture, and we certainly wanted for nothing in the above respects.But it’s the location that set it apart for us. It lies a few miles from the nearest town, Port Charlotte, along a single track road that continues on round the coast. Close by is Kilchiaran Bay where St Columba is reputed to have come ashore many centuries ago. We walked down to it every day and on only one occasion did we not have it completely to ourselves. After having walked across the shingle at the head of the beach, the waterside is flat and sandy and, apart from the coldness of the sea, is good for paddling or even swimming if you’re hardy enough! Tips for your stay:Stock up on provisions before you get there - the nearest co-op is in Bowmore, which has essentials but is not overly large.Remember your midge repellent - as on all of the west coast of Scotland they can be a nuisance, though we didn’t find them too bothersome while we were there.And finally, don’t forget your camera - it’s a very photogenic place.But most of all, relax and enjoy it.

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.
