Testimonials

Rosemary and Donald’s cottage was the perfect base for our Islay holiday. Warm and comfortable, this little slice of the farm quickly felt like home and we were very sad to leave it. They were the perfect hosts, friendly and approachable when we needed something, but gave us our privacy when we didn’t. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
