Testimonials

5 Stars for Rosemary & Donald. Every part of our experience at Persabus Farm Cottage stag was warm, welcoming, friendly and helpful. Welcome tea and cake on arrival (very tasty). Our trip was researching family history for one of our party and Donald was a walking library of information knowing every farm’s location and much of the history, even those not in the area directly around Persabus farm. Donald generously gave us a lot of his time and knowledge that made locating the family farms and talking with the current occupants both easier and pleasurable. He and Rosemary were genuinely interested in what we were trying to do and in us also. Thank you both for making our mission / adventure successful which in turn made our time in Islay even more special.
