Cozy Cottage In Picturesque Scotland

Please use number 1 kilchiaran cottages in google maps, please be aware that gearach has used 1 kikchiaran farm in there adress as well so plase drive past gearach and carry on untill you come down a steep hill and see a semi circular farm.
pass the farm untill you see a sheep pens turn right and the cottage is on the side closest to the shore.

The cottage is situated in an amazing part of True Scotland. With great views and lovely beaches Islay has become a fast growing tourist attraction in Scotland.
The Islay Whiskey Festival is a week of music and whisky on Islay - famous for its single malts. The Islay Festival transforms the island with a full programme of traditional music, whisky tasting, ceilidh's, Gaelic lessons and golf. Fèis Ìle has grown up from a celebration of Gaelic language and culture to a full-blown festival.
Please note if typing post code in to a satalight navigation system it takes you to gearach, the cottage is a further mile past gearach next to a semi circular farm buildings, and welcome to kilchiaran

The cottage was located on a working farm so always something going on . Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great when we were staying so couldn’t get as much done as we would have liked.

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.

Lovely warm welcome from David, our host. Welcome pack of goodies above average. Ideal location for exploring locally or further afield. Amazing for birds, flowers & wildlife. Stunning beaches…..loved visiting the iconic distillery buildings even though we don’t like the amber nectar.

Week on Islay

The property was exactly what we required. The position on the farm was perfect with a short walk to the cove. The cottage was well presented and everything worked. The Island is beautiful and the people were very friendly and helpful.

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.
