Peaceful Island Cottage

Briefly - the cottage is perfect. Beautiful location, extremely comfortable beds, all amenities provided, interesting books, warm stove, incredible garden and views, responsive host. Already looking to book again; highly recommended.

This is our second visit to this property. The property is well equipped comfortable, spacious and well presented, the best views of the island a charming location. The island may be small but is full of beauty at every turn.

This is a spacious and comfortable cottage with lovely front and back gardens and beautiful views. Recommend the Puffer pub highly too.

The cottage is lovely, super comfortable and well equipped. The cottage has large gardens to enjoy, with unique views.

We loved the cottage, the excitement of going across on the ferry, the gardens both back and front give amazing views. After a walk round the island it’s wonderful to come back to the cosy living room.

Lovely stay at number 39, would highly recommend, spotlessly clean 4th year we have stayed here, swimming, fishing, walking great time had by all

Amazing cottage in a stunning island setting! Views are spectacular. Cottage is beautiful, comfortable, clean, and well equipped, including a very nice library of books and videos. A true vacation get away, as no automobiles are permitted on the island. Very low key. We especially enjoyed hiking around the island and relaxing on the property. The ferry runs precisely on schedule and is a quick 3 minute ride to the neighboring island and car park. The owner provided explicit instructions well ahead of time to prepare us for access to the island and all other necessary details. He was also readily available and pleasant when we contacted him with a couple of questions. There is one restaurant on Easdale, with limited hours. There is another restaurant and a small shop on the neighboring island near the ferry launch, and more along the way to Oban. There are boating opportunities that leave from Easdale. The Easdale museum is great and well worth a visit. A wonderful experience that we highly recommend!

We spent 5 nights at Easdale Cottage & thoroughly enjoyed the cottage, facilities, location & views. The cottage is tastefully decorated & well stocked. Dual heating option is a good idea, although the fantastic weather we had meant we really only used the stove to boost the water heat. The cottage gardens are super to sit in & take stock of the views/wildlife & enjoy a beverage with a book/pair of binoculars. The Islanders were warm & friendly, the ferrymen helpful & witty. The Puffer & The Oyster Bar were a smashing spots to grab some tasty food. Walks around the island & Ellenabeich interesting, lovely gardens (Armaddy & An Cala) & the local museums full of artefacts & info to pad out our knowledge of The Slate Islands. Would definitely recommend Easdale Cottage & Island......we hope to get back.

Myself, my husband and our children enjoyed a wonderful stay in 39 Easdale. The house was everything we could have hoped for, in a beautiful setting with fantastic views from the front and back. The gardens provided a number of seating areas so we could always catch the sun and it was ideal for some rare Scottish al fresco dining! Inside the house everything had been thought of and was a lovely quality, it made our stay very easy. The instructions were very clear and easy to understand, and there was lots of information about the island. The island itself is stunning and we never ran out of walks, scrambles or pools to skim stones in! Our children have already asked if we can go back again next year, and my husband and I were only too happy to agree! A wonderful find, thank you for our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay -- and our mini wire-haired dachshund enjoyed it even more. Great for dogs -- Rufus couldn't have had more toys, beds or bowls to try out. Lovely cottage, very cosy with a well-stocked dry cabinet! It is a very special place and we will return.

Stayed for a week, absolutely fantastic, already booked for next year, host is amazing, nothing too much trouble, the cottage facilities are great, and has always been spotless, the island itself is wonderful, peace and quite away from all the hustle and bustle, my go to place...

Lovely cottage which is fully equipped. Quirky location with friendly residents on the island. Accommodation has a fantastic position overlooking the harbour to one side and Jura and small islands to the other. Great place for a short break.

Our group had a fantastic stay over the weekend in June. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed. Homely and so cosy, it was really perfect. The views around the cottage the from the decking were breath taking. We didn't want to leave! We cant wait to return!

Great fun that you have to get the small ferry across to the island there are no cars on the island so you use the cottage’s wheelbarrow and trolley to take your belongings up to the cottage. The cottage has every thing you need for self catering better equipped than many I have stayed in The island was slate quarry so you find the remains of the slate working every where but that is all bit different You can swim in the old quarries again something a bit different Ideal place for a real chill out break
