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.
We had a lovely holiday in Islay. The house is very well equipped and very comfy. The view from the house is just perfect. Flora, our host, was easy to contact and answered any questions we had prior to our visit. We ate at the Port Charlotte Hotel one evening and would recommend it. Booking a table is essential as it is popular. The same goes for the Fish Restaurant at the foot of the road. There are lots of lovely walks on Islay. Our favourite was the walk at Loch Gruinart.

A very welcoming property with stunning views across the loch Indaal. Clean, very inviting, well laid out and a commonal area offering dinning space with a view.
Location-wise probably in the sweet spot of Islay offering almost equal distance access to most attractions except for the Ardbeg, Lagavulin and Laphroaig distilleries.
Would warmly recommend.

Schönes, gut ausgestattetes und geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Ferienhaus mit 3 Schlafzimmern für insgesamt 6 Personen. Sehr sauber und gepflegt, alle Installationen in Bad und Küche modern. Tolle Lage mit Blick aufs Wasser.
Wir waren zu Dritt dort und haben uns sehr sehr wohl gefühlt. Bei voller Belegung mit 6 Personen könnte das eine Bad mit WC aber ungünstig sein. Ansonsten absolut empfehlenswert!!! Wir kommen gerne wieder.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed here and won't be the last. It's very clean and comfortable and equipped with everything you need.
It's just a short walk into Port Charlotte where there are a couple of pubs that serve meals and a shop and gas station. There's also the Port Mor campground near by where you can grab a bite to eat and the kids can play. And did I mention there was a restaurant directly across the street that serves delicious meals. We dined there several times.
I must mention the fantastic view from the house. So lovely. Especially from the conservatory.
Flora the owner is just lovely and always leaves a welcoming package, which is great so you don't have to go running to the shop right away. She also lives on the Island and so she is around if you do need anything or have questions.
Thanks again Flora.
