We were incredibly lucky in that my brother won a three day break at Kenny’s house and couldn’t use it, it’s the best present he has ever given me. The house itself was immaculate with all mod cons you could need for a comfortable holiday. It is in a great location on the main road with easy access to pubs, restaurants and a great Chinese takeaway. We spent the 1st day touring the island which is a must with some beautiful beaches and scenic views. The next full day we walked the 3 distillery way which starts on your doorstep and takes in 3 famous distilleries with a new one just to being completed at the start, which I would love to go back and visit. My only regret is that 3 days is too short, next time I would take our golf clubs as we visited Machrie golf club and it looked stunning.
Kenny was a great host and kept us updated with all aspects of the house and the ferries. The weather during our visit was excellent that allowed us to use the back garden which gets the sun late into the evening, but as you can guess this is not guaranteed but there is still plenty locally and in the house to keep you occupied even in the rain.

I can’t even thank Betty enough for her hospitality, the house was very comfortable and warm for the snowy period we stayed. Port Ellen is wonderful and welcoming, and you feel like you are part of the community. (At least at the time of year when we stayed) It was easy to get out and about, plus it is just down the block from the ferry terminal.
You do feel like you are staying at a family home out on the island.

Really loved our stay on Islay. The house was very comfortable and in a great location for enjoying Port Ellen and exploring the Island. Betty made us feel very welcome and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It was so good I’ve booked up to stay again in the autumn!

We have just returned home following our third stay at this lovely home and have booked again for next year! The house is very comfortable and will benefit from wifi next year! Everything is supplied to make your holiday, including the lovely Betty nextdoor. I would happily recommend this property.

We had a very pleasant stay, like every previous time we went to this place. The house is well located near the harbour, also very comfy, and Betty is a very nice and helpful person. We really felt at home, and we recommend this rental to anyone who wants to visit the island. We’ll be back there as soon as possible.

Highly recommended accommodation with a great location in Port Ellen for exploring what Islay has to offer especially the distillers along the south coast of the island. Having spent two holidays here for the Feis weeks in 2016 & 2017 we would happily return. Many thanks to Kenneth and Betty for providing an excellent place to stay.

Wonderful welcome from Betty, who had bought a few necessities so we didn’t have to rush out to the shops. Cottage ideally placed in center of village – near shops, pubs and bus stop. Well stocked kitchen with everything you could want. Lots of space and very homely. Great garden with starlings nesting in the wall.
Everything you could need – hope to return!
