Fantastic panoramic views over the sea loch, to the mountains and across to the hills of Antrim. The house, built in 2004, offers 5 spacious bedrooms with many additional features. The interior has been finished to a high standard and would suit families and/or be ideal for B & B accommodation.

The village of Port Charlotte, approximately 20 minute walk, is a pretty fishing village with 2 pubs, a tea room, a museum, a wildlife centre, a shop/post office, a community hall, play area for children and the local primary school.
The house is well placed for access to all areas of Islay. It is set in one third of an acre of land and a small stream runs through the lower front garden. There is a small shed at the rear of the house, useful for string lawn mowers, bikes etc.

Area Information |
| Famous for its numerous whisky distilleries, Islay is a beautiful island with a dozen beaches, several historical sites and not too many tourists. On a clear day you can see over to Ireland.
Leisure facilities include a swimming pool in Bowmore, tennis courts in Port Ellen, a golf course at Machrie and diving around some of the many local wrecks.
By the way, Islay is pronounced 'eye-la' (you don't sound the letter y).
The human population of the island is around 3400. It is estimated that the island is also home to over 60,000 geese!
How to get to Islay
By ferry:
There are two ports on Islay: Port Ellen (tel: 01496 302209) in the east and Port Askaig in the north. Both are served by vehicle ferries from Kennacraig (tel: 01880 730253) which is located on the Kintyre Peninsula (100 miles north of Glasgow) and is served by the CityLink bus service from Glasgow
The official Caledonian Macbrayne web site lists the current ferry timetables and fares. Crossing time is approximately 2 hours. Vehicle reservation is required in advance.
On Wednesdays it is usually also possible to travel between Oban and Port Askaig. A ferry leaves Port Askaig at 10.40am and reaches Oban at 2.55pm. The ship leaves Oban at 3.15pm and returns to Port Askaig at 7.20pm. The journey is made with a 15 minute stop at Colonsay.
If you are going over on the ferry from Kennacraig to Islay and need a place to stay beforehand, Springside B&B is a traditional cottage overlooking Tarbert harbour (just 5 miles from the ferry terminal at Kennacraig) between Loch Fyne and the Mull of Kintyre.
A small passenger ferry called the Lady Jayne operates from the island of Colonsay to Bunnahabhain and Port Askaig on Islay. This return trip operates on Mondays only.
