Explore our accommodation below to see what is right for you . . .
House and cottages in rural Kilchoman
If you are looking for some peace and quiet, stay in our spectacular Georgian house. The wonderful, traditional Kilchoman House, built in 1825, has room for you to roam. The house is set on 37 acres of land and has some stunning walks and views.
Inside the house, you won’t be short of space either. It comfortably sleeps up to 12 people, with a formal dining room for up to 18 and a large southwest-facing sitting room, overlooking Creag Mhor. There is also a family room to relax in.
Or why not stay in one of the Kilchoman cottages? There are five to choose from so you will be spoilt for choice! Four of our cosy cottages sleep up to four people with Fieldgate Cottage able to sleep six. All of our cottages are just a five-minute walk from a lovely, quiet beach and 37 acres of stunning Scottish countryside to explore.
Holiday cottage in Bowmore
For those looking for a little bit more hustle and bustle, our delightful holiday house and charming cottage in Bowmore offer a traditional taste of life in a Hebridean town. Right at the heart of the main village of Bowmore is Dundonald Cottage. A prime location for touring the island with the main bus route passing through, shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance, and Bowmore pier a short walk away.
We also have a pizzeria restaurant in Bowmore, Peatzeria. Here, you can enjoy spectacular views of Lochindaal as you tuck into some delicious pizza, pasta and ice cream! What’s more, guests staying at any of our properties on Islay receive 10% discount at Peatzeria!
Things to do on Islay
When you visit us, you won’t be short of things to do. Islay is on the whisky coast of Scotland and has 9 working distilleries. Why not take a tour? Or you could experience the wonderful Scottish wildlife the island has to offer. With over 200 species of birds visiting and living on the island, it is a Twitcher’s paradise!
Although Islay is a small island (just 25 miles long and 15 miles wide), the people living here know how to have a good time. Throughout the year there are lots of events to attend. Festivals, walks, races, beach rugby tournaments, music festivals and more.
But, if you want some tranquillity, Islay can provide that in bucket loads. There are many walking paths to follow through the stunning landscape, and Islay has some 22 beaches to explore.
The island has a rich and fascinating history. Celts were the first major settlers but, Islay has been inhabited since at least 8000 BC. The island is a treasure trove of historical artefacts, from standing stones and Celtic crosses to graves and ruins to explore. The island’s history is there for all to see in the Museum of Islay Life in Port Charlotte. The museum is open Monday to Friday in the summer and is the perfect place to learn how Islay became the island it is today.

A group of us had the big house and then two families also took two of the cottages in the grounds. I have been to Islay many times before but never stayed with such a large group so was anxious that everything would be great for everyone, and it was.
Gillian very kindly answered all my questions up front, and made sure that the accommodation was spotless on arrival. The grounds are huge and the children in the group happily played football, rugby and cricket for hours. We spent many happy hours in the dining room and the living room, both large enough for us.
The location could not be better. Remote, beautiful and peaceful.
I’d recommend staying here to anyone.
If you plan a large group please book restaurants and activities ahead to make sure you aren’t disappointed. We went on whisky and gin tours, boat trips, visited beautiful beaches, went clay pigeon shooting and painted pottery. Definitely a highlight of my 50th year
