Beachfront holiday rentals in Islay

A very memorable stay in such a unique location. Ned and Toni could not have been better hosts, they made arriving on the island easy. We swam, did some fishing, spotted lots of wildlife and marine life. Sitting around the fire pit was a highlight in the evenings. The place was really well equipped, they have thought of everything! Our dog also had a great time of course.

We had an amazing time on Davaar Island. It is absolutely beautiful, calm and heartwarming out there. Toni and Ned were very helpful, nice and made us feel welcome. Time went by too fast.

Pamela is super friendly and knowledgable. I loved the beauty of the area and the fact that the beach and sea loch is right there. There’s a busy road to dodge to get there, but it’s stunning scenery. The hostel is very relaxed and when we were there, there was only one other guest, so lovely and quiet

Would highly recommend Beach view cottage. It was clean, comfortable and very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The location is also ideal for staying on the beautiful island of Gigha - an easy short walk to the beach, Achamore gardens or for a drink at The Boathouse. Thanks for a lovely stay.

What can I say about this place that will do it justice! What an incredible stay, as soon as Ned picked us up to take us across to Davaar Island we knew we had made the best choice for our stay. Ned was really friendly and welcoming, telling us all we needed to know for our stay and more. The cabin was spotless and has everything you need and things you didn't realise you needed (I didn't have the binoculars out of my hands for more than 5 minutes) Ned told us what wildlife to look out for and we weren't disappointed. We seen an otter, dozens of different bird species (seeing and hearing the Gannett's hit the water was a constant buzz) the Highland Cows, the Seal that seemed to live just outside the cabin and finally seeing a pod of porpoise swim past our balcony, wow. Ned told us we could attempt to catch a lobster and showed us the pots but did warn us that it's highly unlikely...on our last night we ate steak and a fresh LOBSTER! Thank you for having us and we will be coming back x

Amazing secluded peaceful cottage with views to die for! Sea Otters, seals, dolphins, sea birds from the window of the conservatory! Great gannet displays! Cottage very comfy & thoughtfully laid out & beautiful garden. Emma was the perfect host

This is a great place to stay, the house is very comfortable and cosy, and the location is just great. The host is very friendly and helpful. We were amazed by the views and the beach. We loved it and already miss it.

I stayed here for a few nights with 2 friends and we loved our stay! The house is large and well equipped, offering some restful sleep and relaxation. We loved having some movies to watch in the evenings. The location is gorgeous and provides ample opportunity to explore the nearby nature preserves. It's also a quick drive to explore the Neolithic history that the Kilmartin area has to offer. Having a little shop and cafe across the street was great, and the Inn offered a nice meal and glass of gin. I would love to stay again if I find myself in the area!

Fantastic location, amazing house with a bathroom for each room, and a great location - what more could you ask for?

This flat is central to touring the whole of Islay. Bowmore is quaint with all the services and hospitality you would expect from an island community. Very pleasant stay on comfortable beds. Kitchen well appointed.

A fantastic place to stay. The house is gorgeous, you have amazing views of the bay, and it's a wonderful property, especially for big groups and families. I couldn't highly recommend this place enough!!!

A very comfortable and well appointed house. The photos on the listing do not do justice to how lovely the house is. The views over the harbour and sea are outstanding. Highly recommended for a quiet, away from it all, break.

Wonderful place right on the beach, Donald is a fantastic host and we’re looking forward to staying with him again on our next visit.

We loved the house which has a stunning location beside the shore and wonderful views. The house had everything we needed. Only one shower so a bit of planning required in the morning but absolutely no problem. Very short walk to The Port Charlotte Hotel where we had a great meal. About 30 mins to The Machrie for fantastic golf. Laurie’s communication was spot on, not too much, not too little. Would definitely book again. Keith

The interior is tastefully decorated with a perfect blend of modern amenities and cosy, traditional touches. The views from every window were breath-taking. Nestled in a serene location, the cottage offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

The location was amazing - we had fine weather as well. Thanks Birte
