Stable appartment was perfect for our visit to beautiful Colonsay. It was clean, had a very comfortable bed and had all the equipment we needed. Colonsay house is surrounded by beautiful walks and only a short distance to Kiloran beach.

We were amazed at the location of the house with its views across to Jura and a short walk down to the beach. Had a wonderful stay here!

Garvard is in a beautiful and peaceful location , but given it sleeps 10 the spaces & facilities are insufficient for 10 adults . Felt it was overpriced and electricity was an additional cost . It was clean the cleaners do a great job .

We very much enjoyed staying in Turnigil apartment. It was just what we needed for the 4 of us. We required a couple of extra cooking utensils which were supplied very quickly. We also required a wee bit of maintenance which was also done very speedily. The only comment I would make, which needs looking at, is that the hot water out of the tap was far too hot and would recommend the thermostat be turned down, please.

We spent a lovely week in the cosy Drumlach apartment at Colonsay House. The garden views were quite delightful, especially the beautiful trees, scrubs, flowers & wild layout. This island is a dream location with gorgeous beaches & great scenery. The apartment needs a bit of TLC - bedroom needs new pillows & the kitchen requires more equipment.

We had a great stay at Machrin's House which was in a perfect location to explore the island and watch the sunset each evening. The only issue we had was with the Wi-Fi as this was very slow with so many individuals using it, but there was plenty to keep us occupied it wasn't a big issue! We can't wait to come back again!

Comfy bed, duvet a bit too heavy. Kitchen well equipped. If we had another couple/kids the steps could have been an issue to upstairs bedrooms. Enclosed garden good for dog.

We had a lovely stay at Pondside. The location in the garden was beautiful. The gardens were very interesting and the location to Kiloran bay was great. We were able to cycle with the help of Jen's bikes!!!. It was a cosy place to return to after a hard day's swimmimg cycling walking and exploring the beautiful island of Colonsay. Everyone we met were exceptionally friendly. We had a great time.

We had a great week, and the location is good as long as your car isn’t low slung. We’d have appreciated a porch to store boots, wetsuits etc. as the living space is small.

We had good customer care before arrival, with a ferry change by the ferry company meaning we had to amend our arrival date. The cottage didn't seem super welcoming on arrival, with a very utilitarian sign on the door, but had been heated up for our arrival, which was definitely appreciated. We paid extra for electricity, as per the agreement (£20 for a week as a guesstimate, the meter being on the blink, and this in pretty unseasonal wet weather, despite it being August). We were pretty abstemious with our energy usage, being conscious of this, and found the fire hard to light (two friends, w...more
