You'll find everything in here from cooking oil, ketchup, tea, herbal teas, coffee, washing liquid, biscuits, cereals, tins, shampoo, conditioner, herbs, spices etc... all we ask is that you pop a few coins in the pot so we can buy more for future guests.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

House was perfect for 2 adults, 2 kids and a wee dog. Love the island,  especially the beaches. Especially enjoyed my morning walk for cake, coffee and chat at the very handy Bruichladdich market ... and the seafood platter at the nearby Lochindaal. Great host.

About the neighbourhood
We are situated on the Rhinns of Islay; a short walk will get you to Bruichladdich Distillery, home of many quality whiskies, including Octomore & Black Art, and of course Islay's only gin, The Botanist. They are now running gin tours as well as whisky tours. As well as being a 10min walk from Bruichladdich Distillery, it is the same distance to the local shop (post office) for every day needs, as well as great coffee and a toastie or bacon sandwich! Port Charlotte is a 40 min walk or a 5 min drive and has three good restaurants and the hotel has evenings of local music. Port Mor also has a Bistro and a playground at the campsite. Bowmore has a comprehensive supermarket sufficient for all needs during a stay and is a 15 min drive.
Getting around
Islay bus will stop at the driveway to the house. Please find a bus timetable in your welcome pack.
