Stunning Islay accommodation – sleeps 12

Kilchoman is a truly wonderful property! If you are looking for self-catering accommodation on Islay
and want to experience some Islay history then this house is for you. This traditional house gives a small taste of what life used to be like on Islay nearly two hundred years ago. However, we have now added all the comforts of modern living. Set in 37 acres of sheltered farm and hill land, it has its own walled garden, bounded by our own fields, making for an unforgettable holiday on Islay.

In recent times it has been a happy family home that combines a sense of history with modern island life. It now comfortably sleeps ten people for a peaceful country retreat.

Our stunning Georgian house

The Georgian house dates from 1825 and stands in a sheltered hollow with a burn running through the garden. Originally the manse for Kilchoman Church which stands at the top of the hill, it became a private home in the 1930s. It is thought to be built on the site of the former summer palace of the MacDonalds and incorporates substantial public rooms with a formal Dining Room seating up to 18 and a large south-west facing sitting room overlooking Creag Mhor. There is also a Family/Sitting Room which has Freeview TV (also in the main Sitting Room), WiFi and several fun games. The house has some interesting furniture with largely period furnishings, in a nod to the grand history of this charming property.

Luxury accommodation for large groups

Kilchoman House has an extensive kitchen, seating ten for breakfast or lunch. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, fridge freezer, microwave, washing machine, tumble dryer and a pulley to dry your wet clothes after splashing about on the beach. The area is a magnet for birds, which you may spot from the kitchen windows, creating a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere.

Upstairs there are five luxury double bedrooms. Two with four-poster beds, two twin rooms with Mahogany single beds and a luxury bunk bedroom. Furthermore, there is a luxury bunk bedroom on the ground floor. All rooms share views over the surrounding hills and grounds for a peaceful night’s rest. Three rooms have en-suite shower rooms, whilst one twin room and the bunk bedroom share a family bathroom.

For big groups, you will love the spacious rooms and the opportunity to use the formal dining room to bring everyone together in the evening. The house sleeps 12, but you can add further cottages for larger groups. This allows a party of up to 34 to stay together, using the main house as a base.

Suitable for a number of occasions

The house is suitable for a number of occasions. For families enjoying a getaway together, you will never feel under each other’s feet. And in just a twenty-minute walk or five-minute drive, you will be on your own secluded beach area. If you become tired of Machir Bay, there are many others to explore nearby.
