  • "Just back from a week in this lovely cottage."

    Its 5 stars across the board from us and exceeded expectations. To be honest we have not stayed in any better accommodation over many years of travelling. On top of this is the wonderful location, even with a poor weather week it didn't seem to matter. So much on your doorstep to explore and one week was not really enough. We would hope to visit again and wouldn't hesitate to stay at Innishall if it was available . Nigel & Rachel

    Thank you so much for the excellent feedback. We're delighted with your response to our cottage. You certainly were unfortunate with the weather but doesn't sound like it held you back. Thank you for your booking. Property Owner

    The cottage was very clean and the kitchen had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The garden is lovely and perfect for the children to play and explore. The owners were very kind and friendly. Would like to book this property again due to its location and good experience.

  • "Really nice place - the kitchen has been clearly refitted recently to a very high spec and was great to cook in."

    The lounge was very comfortable with large / new settees which were very comfortable. All fixtures and fittings in the cottage were new and of a high spec. The place was really clean. The garden was also large, lovely and well looked after. The owners were really helpful.

    Thank you for your kind comments. We're delighted you enjoyed Innishail. Thank you for your booking. Property Owner

  • "Innishail is a beautiful cottage set in a mature garden with lovely views from the front windows."

    Golden Eagle soaring overhead, cuckoo to the rear and a range of garden birds added to the background gentle ambience. The cottage was clean and tidy, welcoming on entering and restful. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped with everything needed for the enjoyment of the stay. The Museum at Kilmartin provides a history of the area. Innishail is perfectly situated to provide a retreat and/or a base to visit the surrounding area. Oban is less than an hours drive away making day trips to the islands an option. We have no reservations in recommending Innishail.

    Thank you for your booking and your kind review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage, very well maintained inside with lovely new kitchen, carpets etc."

    It is so homely and relaxing. Everything you need has been provided. My only negative would be there is nothing for quite a few miles i.e. small shop, hotel/bar.Lovely views from front window lots of little birds, red squirrels running around. Lovely seating in garden which we were unable to use due to bad weather. Garden borders need a bit of attention weeds etc quite dense in areas.

    It suited me very much, being in a quiet location, having a carefully- refurbished interior with up-to-date appliances, lovely comfortable settees in the sitting-room, good storage space, generously-timed heating and hot water and wonderful front garden with a lovely view. The owner had also left a number of provisions which were much-appreciated. Excellent!

  • "This is a lovely cottage, attractive, clean, comfortable and well equipped."

    The view from the front windows was a wonderful surprise. It would be beautiful at any time of the year but was stunning in May with the azaleas in full bloom. The owners, while not intrusive, were both friendly and helpful. It is set in a quiet village but within reach of great walks, beautiful coastline, fascinating archeological sites and wonderful gardens.

  • "Beautifully refurbished bungalow."

    Super comfy lounge with view of the hills, great bedrooms, well-equipped kitchen, good WiFi, although no/ weak mobile signal for us on Three. Plenty of parking space out back, and lovely front garden with visiting birds and once a red squirrel, adjacent to a really quiet lane with privacy from neighbours, near the edge of the tiny village. Though note, to get a loch view needs a short drive/cycle or at least a short hike up the hill. Great days out in the fantastic scenery of Argyll, wee towns & villages, and Killmory beach (gorgeous white sand, quiet even in high summer!). Except we found summer ferries for an intended day trip to Mull should’ve been booked well in advance. Ace cycling: Stunning Kilmelford-Dalavich loop (allow time for the hills!), worth the extra miles to the end of the peninsular at Keillmore (and back via the canal & Kilmichael), and OK but mostly in the trees on the SE side of Loch Awe. And well worth the scramble up Dun Dubh for the 360 views.

The property

Ardfern 9.7 miles.

Overlooking idyllic views of tranquil countryside and mountains, sitting in the remote village of Ford, is this dreamy detached bungalow.

Innishail offers a peaceful base for a group of four to enjoy an adventurous rural retreat to Scotland.

Be charmed by the peace and quiet of the surrounding areas as you make your way through a luscious lawn towards the property, welcoming you in with glimpses of striking hills.

Spend your evenings in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, where you'll find fantastic amenities to aid your home-cooking, as well as a sociable dining table for intimate meals together over a bottle of wine.

Once your plates have been put in the dishwasher, snuggle up for a cosy night in the spacious sitting room, escaping reality during a family film night, or admiring the impressive bay window where you can curl up with a good book as you feel calmed by amazing views.

Prepare for bed in the gorgeous bathroom, choosing between a sumptuous bubble bath soak, or a relaxing rinse in the walk-in shower, complemented by a toasty heated towel rail.

Retire to one of the inviting double bedrooms after a long day of exploration, both are well-presented with ample storage for all your belongings.

Head out on a romantic stroll away from the group as you explore the local village of Ford, breathing in the fresh country air as you walk hand in hand by the quiet river, or enjoy picnics on one of the nearby green areas.

A range of local amenities can be found in the nearby coastal village of Ardfern, boasting a village shop where you can stock up on essentials, a welcoming pub for indulging in a smooth pint and pub grub, as well as a quaint tea room, craft centre, and a gorgeous marina to discover.

Closer to home is the Kilmartin Hotel just 4.6 miles away, a 19th century pub where you can catch up with the locals over Scottish ales before visiting the Kilmartin House Museum of Ancient Culture, and the Temple Wood Stone Circle.

Other attractions nearby include Carnasserie Castle, the sailing port at Craobh Haven, a whisky trail, and opportunities for watersports, sailing and fishing on the sparkling waters of Loch Awe.

Alternatively, venture over to the exciting towns of Lochgilphead and Oban, home to a wealth of contemporary amenities, high street shops, trendy bars, romantic restaurants, and a cinema.

Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life at Innishail.

About the location

ARDFERN

Lochgilphead 16 miles; Oban 21 miles.

The picturesque coastal village of Ardfern sits on the Craignish Peninsula in Scotland’s beautiful and dramatic Argyll region. An ancient settlement, there is evidence of population at Ardfern dating from 600 AD when contemporaries of St Columba were here, plus there is a ruined church on the Peninsula dating from 12th century. The village today contains a pub, shop, craft centre, tea room and a large marina, ideally placed for sailing off the west coast. A second marina is nearby at Craobh Haven and the towns of Lochgilphead and Oban are well worth a visit offering many shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. The surrounding scenery is what makes the area, with the hills, lochs and mountains offering spectacular walking, plus there is fresh water and sea fishing nearby to delight the angler.
