Great stay in a very well appointed former farmhouse in a stunning location looking out to the Paps of Jura. Only five minutes talk from a lovely beach, with ready access to many more of the beautiful beaches of Colonsay and Oransay.
Great location. Very comfortable apartment and would book again. The island is beautiful and we have more to explore.
If you have even the smallest chance of staying at Baleromindubh House on Colonsay ... GRAB IT WITH BOTH HANDS! Colonsay is a delightful , calming, beautiful place - stunning beaches and great walks . Baleromindubh House is a fabulous base from which to explore everything on the island. Beautifully kept up, well equipped and in a stunning location, with plenty of room for friends and family . Just a brilliant place - with a fantastic team behinds the scenes to ensure everything goes as smoothly as you would want it to
We spent three nights here at the end of April and loved it. Isolated and homely with everything you need. Well looked after and well managed it was a pleasure to stay here. Loved the island, the wildlife, the weather, the walks. Would definitely stay again.
We had glorious weather to enjoy our stay. Garvard was cosy and comfortable. It would be a tight fit for the advertised 10 (we were a group of 5). The situation with views over the Strand and Oronsay is amazing. Our only criticism would be the advertised WiFi - yes there was WiFi but it rarely connected to the internet and there was little mobile signal. Fine if you want to escape but should be made clear in description. Apart from that it was faultless.
We were all impressed by Turnigil apartment, the characterful decor and furnishings. The kitchen and bathroom have been upgraded. More space than we had imagined but with sunny dry days during our stay we were out every day. A peaceful wonderful place to stay.
The Nursery Appartment was perfect for our stay on Colonsay. Beautifully decorated, comfortable and had everything we needed. Lovely view of the gardens. Perfectly positioned to walk to Kiloran Beach, the sea cliffs and Balnahard bay. We would definitely stay again.
Lovely location and adequately equipped but layout of flat itself not ideal. Steep, uncarpeted stairway opening onto a narrow landing between the bathroom and kitchen doors. A nasty accident awaits I feel. And as visitors are tasked with sorting own rubbish this is more up and down stairs carrying stuff. We found the beds and pillows too hard for our liking.
Another comfortable and convenient stay for eight regulars. A problem arose with carpets covered in dog hair from a previous occupant , though not apparent at first, any movement brought up clumps of hair. Living room stairs and a bedroom were affected. Staff response was however excellent, and this issue didn’t detract from a very enjoyable stay.
Unfortuately, our ferry from Port Askaig to Colonsay on the morning of Wednesday 1st April was cancelled the day before in the afternoon. There was no availabilty from Kennacraig/Oban either. There needs to be a compulsary refund built into the price of a holiday in Colonsay, on account of ferries not running. This inévitably will make it more expensive but I think it’s a price worth paying, both for the holiday property owners and the visitors. I personally don’t think I would risk booking at Colonsay House again.
Everything was very clean. As stated in description the stairs are not for anyone with mobility problems etc although we did not use them as only used the downstairs room. The bed in the double room I found was not very comfortable. Location very good - close to all amenities.
Had a lovely time as always with all the family. Weather mixed, but who cares-we still managed to do loads of things
A cozy cottage in a lovely situation. Didn’t mind it having no television and slow Wi-Fi. Well equipped and comfy beds. Really appreciate that it had sharp knives for cooking.
Had a great stay in a comfortable cottage in beautiful surroundings and I would definitely book again next year.
The Kennels is an excellent neat holiday cottage in a most lovely island. As we said a year ago, This cottage met all our requirements for a peaceful holiday in a delightful location - hence we stayed again. We would warmly recommend staying in this cottage at this time of year and enjoying all the Colonsay can offer.
Two of us in this nice well equipped cottage overlooking Kiloran bay. Bed was very comfortable but the cottage felt quite cool during a cold week in may. Electric heaters just about adequate. Great WiFi if required. Colonsay was stunning in may with bluebells and wild garlic in flower.
Celebrating 20 years of coming to Colonsay with the family and staying with Colonsay Estate Cottages. Lovely week. Kiloran Bay is a very special place.
