Guests say

Innish is a spacious, well-equipped cottage in a stunning, tranquil location near Oban, ideal for exploring Argyll and Bute. Guests praise its cleanliness, comfort, and the unique experience of cooking on the Aga. The property offers beautiful views, two cosy lounges, and is close to scenic walks and a friendly local pub. Wildlife sightings and thoughtful touches from the owners enhance the stay. Minor points include a need for a shower shelf and some driveway maintenance, but overall, guests consistently recommend the property and look forward to returning.

Multiple reviews highlight the property as spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with no negative comments regarding cleanliness.

The location is repeatedly described as superb, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning scenery, with easy access to walks, wildlife, and local attractions. The only minor drawback mentioned is the lack of sandy beaches nearby.

Guests find the house warm, spacious, and comfortable, with large bedrooms and cosy lounges. There is one minor mention of awkward storage in a twin room, but overall comfort is highly praised.

The cottage is very well equipped, featuring an Aga, two lounges, Sky TV, and useful kitchen supplies. Suggestions for improvement include adding a shower shelf and addressing potholes in the driveway.

Guests appreciate the helpfulness of the owners and thoughtful touches such as useful kitchen supplies. While some reviews mention these extras, please note that such gifts or supplies are not guaranteed for every stay.

Ideal for a larger family, with loads of sociable space on the ground floor, and stunning sea views, Innish will not disappoint!

There are two large living rooms, both with open fires, one ideal for family use, just off the kitchen, and the other a little more private, for cosy and quiet relaxing.

Innish is within just a few yards of an excellent pub and eatery, and although rural, the island is really well served for amenities. With an excellent local Store at Balvicar, plus several shops, pubs & restaurants on the island, you will not have to travel far to find a place to eat out or find something to do or explore. The Isle of Seil is one of the Slate Islands, known as the “Islands which roofed the World” and has been linked to the mainland by the Clachan Bridge (Bridge Over The Atlantic) since the late 18th century. An abundance of wild life in the area; eagles, buzzards, kestrels, otters, deer, badgers, and a friendly local community, makes it an ideal place to get away from the bustle of city life and unwind.

There are several fantastic boat trip operators nearby offering a chance to see the amazing wildlife including a high speed Rib Boat trip through the Corryvreckan whirlpools. There is a nine hole golf course on the island, charters, kayaking, diving and numerous walks. The bridge which connects the Isle of Seil to the mainland enables easy access for exploring the Oban area and mid-Argyll as well as Glencoe and Fort William. Beach 14½ miles.

    Through enjoyed our stay at Innish especially the AGA cooker! First time I have cooked on one and another ✔ off my bucket list. Position of house was perfect watching traffic going over the Atlantic Bridge. Very comfortable, roomy and well equipped house.

    This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Innish and it is the perfect base for exploring Argyll and Bute. The house is super comfortable and very well equipped and it feels like a home from home. I definitely recommend and hope to return again sometime.

    Amazing location, surrounded by natural beauty and the tranquility of the island. Fantastic walks and views, as well as access to so much more in the surrounding areas. Within 30 minutes is Oban, gateway to the islands with a bustling community of shops and restaurants. The house itself is spacious and comfortable and deeply embedded in the nature that surrounds it! The owners are really welcoming and helpful and make superb recommendations for things to see and do nearby.
