Testimonials
Very comfortable and large house in the centre of Bowmore, ideal base for exploring the island. A large comfortable living room, large and very well equipped kitchen, utility room large enough for anything you might want to store. Good sized garden with picnic bench and partial view of Loch Indaal. Two large and comfortable bedrooms. One bathroom downstairs. There were only two of us but the house is easily big enough for four adults. No fuss at all from the owners. Always easy to park outside. Would strongly recommend.
