The lounge and master bedroom have stunning views of the sea and beach where you can watch the seals swimming and sunbathing on the rocks, the small fishing boats and stunning sunsets. It is the ideal base for exploring the Isle of Islay by car, cycle or the local bus that stops at the top of the street! In the village itself there is a small store, a craft shop for souvenirs and the local pub serving drinks and food just a short stroll around the bay. With a log burner for cosy nights in with a local whisky in hand, the cottage has a large L shaped sofa and soft cosy blankets to make you feel at home after a day of adventure. The master bedroom has a king size bed and stunning views of bay and sea. The second bedroom has bunk beds with a small double and single on top, overlooking the garden to the rear of the property. It is perfect for a couple or family to enjoy. A brand new kitchen with all amenities you may require with coffee maker, microwave etc. A brand new bathroom with large walk in shower, modern sink, WC and large towel rail to warm the thick soft white towels for you. There is private parking to the rear of the property, where there are steep steps with a handrail for assistance down the tiered garden to the house. You can drive to the front of the house, for those who would prefer to avoid the steps and there are 2 steps at the front of the house. The tiered garden has great views of the sea with a BBQ to enjoy. Whether you want to sample the variety of whisky distilleries on the island, cycle around the island, explore the history and culture or soak up the sand and sea on the beautiful beaches, Islay has so much to offer and the cottage gives a cosy home from home to relax and unwind. ## Commodités de l’hébergement ### Plage - Sur la plage - Serviettes de plage ### Internet - Disponible dans la maison : Wi-Fi gratuit ### Stationnement et transport - Stationnement sur place ### Cuisine - Batterie de cuisine, vaisselle et couverts - Bouilloire électrique - Cafetière-théière - Épices - Four - Four à micro-ondes - Grille-pain - Lave-vaisselle - Réfrigérateur - Surface de cuisson ### Restauration - Table de salle à manger ### Chambres - 2 chambres - Draps fournis ### Salle de bain - 1 salle de bain - Douche - Papier de toilette - Savon - Séchoir à cheveux - Serviettes fournies ### Lieux de séjour - Foyer - Poêle à bois - Salle de séjour - Table de salle à manger ### Divertissement - Téléviseur connecté ### Espaces extérieurs - Barbecue - Cour clôturée - Jardin - Meubles extérieurs ### Buanderie - Installations de buanderie - Laveuse ### Confort - Chauffage ### Animaux de compagnie - Animaux de compagnie acceptés - Chats et chiens acceptés uniquement - Un animal de compagnie au total ### Accessibilité - Si vous avez des besoins particuliers en matière d’accessibilité, veuillez communiquer avec l’hébergement à l’aide des renseignements contenus dans la confirmation reçue après la réservation. - Mains courantes dans les escaliers - Hébergement non-fumeurs ### Services et commodités - Fer et planche à repasser ### Points d’intérêt de l’endroit - À proximité d’un terrain de golf - À proximité de l’océan - Baie à proximité - Dans les montagnes - Dans un village - En zone rurale - Hôpital à proximité - Sur la rive ### Activités - Baignade à proximité - Chasse à proximité - Écotourisme à proximité - Équitation à proximité - Escalade de rocher à proximité - Excursions d’observation de la faune à pied à proximité - Golf à proximité - Kayak à proximité - Motonautisme à proximité - Observation d’oiseaux à proximité - Observation des baleines à proximité - Paravoile à proximité - Parois d’escalade à proximité - Pêche à proximité - Planche à voile à proximité - Plongée avec masque et tuba à proximité - Plongée sous-marine à proximité - Sentiers de randonnée ou de vélo à proximité - Spéléologie à proximité - Surf ou surf horizontal à proximité - Vélo de montagne à proximité - Voile à proximité ### Dispositifs de sécurité - Détecteur de monoxyde de carbone (L’hôte a indiqué qu’il y avait un détecteur de monoxyde de carbone dans l’hébergement.) - Détecteur de fumée (L’hôte a indiqué qu’il y avait un détecteur de fumée dans l’hébergement.) - Trousse de premiers soins - Extincteur ### Information générale - Jardin ## Hébergements similaires ![Extérieur](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/41000000/40900000/40894400/40894372/d2ecd1c6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Speyside Cottage.

This dog-friendly cottage was overlooking the harbour and little beach.There were lovely wee touches that demomstrated that the owners cared about those staying there. One example was the detachable support handle in the bathroom for anyone requiring such support in the shower room/toilet.The cottage was immaculate and so comfortable and cosy.The village of Portnahaven was so beautiful and the people so amazingly friendly.We absolutely loved our stay and hope some day to return.We have stayed in many beautiful cottages and this one is definitely one of the best.We absolutely adored it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d9de99b8-c805-43fe-8237-2e47406b0174-1753557155575.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/39e51e2b-3603-4a1c-a612-8325d444b7d7-1753557155315.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6415c4ee-eb7e-4bdc-bec1-e32fc2f9839a-1753557155848.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Joe L.

Kim had taken care of everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable, the shower was fab, the deck gave us stunning views, the pub round the bay was just sublime, and the cottage was always a joy to return to; a cosy neuk after the Portnahaven winds. Portnahaven and Port Wymss are gorgeous island villages. They’re off the beaten track but with so much to see, do and learn. We had an amazing time at the Whisky Festival but also on the many beautiful walks around this amazing part of the world. We’d thoroughly recommend Kim’s beautiful cottage as the perfect place to stay. ##### Julia B.

Séjour de 3 nuits en octobre 2023 ### 6/10 – Acceptable #### CAITLIN M. 30 août 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Visit to see relatives on the island. Property is lovely inside, very well decorated and immaculately clean. Shower was phenomenal. Kitchen was well kitted out with everything we needed as we did cook. The living/relaxing area was okay, it had everything we needed and myself and the two other adults had a place to sit on the small couch or at dining table, it just wasn't comfortable after a full day of exploring - The couch was hard and the dining chairs/bench, you could only sit on these for a limited amount of time before having to move. There were packs of cards in the media unit and a TV with a NowTV box which was good. My sister in law slept on the lower bunk of the room which is directed at children, she mentioned the bed was quite uncomfortable and felt as though it was propped up and lumpy. Myself and my husband slept in the king bed and this was excellent, it was extremely comfortable. We made use of the iron which was handy. The view from the living room window is brilliant. The back garden area has extremely steep stairs. Whilst the owner is making guests aware, I think signage on the outside of the gate would be helpful and could potentially avoid a nasty complaint. Decking area was nice but, unsafe! The ''fencing'' is rope which children/dogs could go through to a 8-10ft drop. We noticed damp humidifier tubs placed around the property and have all returned with a nasty cough and I am asthmatic - hoping dampness hasn't caused this! I do understand it is an older cottage and can be susceptible to damp. ##### CAITLIN M. Séjour de 5 nuits en août 2023 ### 8/10 – Bien #### Jane 25 août 2023 Points forts : Propreté, état et installations de l’hébergement This is a beautiful cottage in a stunningly picturesque area. The cottage is well equipped and easy to live in. However I would not recommend it for more than two people. My partner and I were away for 2 weeks and only managed by spreading our stuff over both bedrooms. We also did not fine the sofa very comfortable for more than one person. Portnahaven bay is beautiful and the cottage faces West so gets great sunsets. However, not many people actually live there now (only 62 according to one person we met) which does mean a fair amount of the properties are holiday lets, so there is little feel of community. We did use the tiny local put a couple of times, and buy a lovely lobster from a local, but that was about it. The local shop is now closed and most of our row of cottages was not in use while we were there, which is a great shame. The nearest next town is about a 15 minute drive away. Despite all this, we had a very lovely 5 days and definitely recommend food and music in The Port Charlotte Hotel. And the amazing RSPB walk at The Oa where we were lucky enough to see Golden Eagles. ##### Jane Séjour de 5 nuits en août 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Voyageur vérifié 30 juill. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Portnahaven Lovely little fisherman’s cottage, right on the water at Portnahaven. Had everything we needed and helpful touches like beach towels were appreciated! We loved exploring Islay. ##### Voyageur vérifié Séjour de 7 nuits en juillet 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Simon B. 18 juill. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Portnahaven and the company of seals. A lovely cozy cottage right in the bay of Portnahaven, where the seals will gather most of the day, and sing to you into the night! All the roads to Portnahaven are single track with passing places, to be prepared for oncoming vehicles, and the road surfaces can be somewhat "rough" to say the least. The cozy cottage has all you need, with a well equipped kitchen and a large walk-in shower, although no shelving to put your shower gel and shampoo's on, so it's a bend down job onto the shower tray base, and there are no grab bars, so watch the slippery shower base. Car parking is at the rear of the property and access to the back door (and key safe) are down some VERY steep stairs, so great care is needed! I recommend getting someone to volunteer to climb these steep steps, use the key safe to get in and open the front door, where someone else has driven the car down the narrow lane at the front of the cottage and unload the car from there! BTW, the shop in Portnahaven is no longer open, so make sure you have plenty of supplies before you arrive. All in all, a great place to visit! ##### Simon B. Séjour de 7 nuits en juillet 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### alan l. 26 juin 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Islay whiskey Portnahaven is at the end of the island. Very quaint, quiet, away from the crowds. There is bus service but we rented a car for our time. The property is right above the bay. Seals play, fishing vessels, great walks. There was one small bar that had a few dishes for dinner. We would drive into the main area of the island, tour a distillery, grab groceries and make dinner at the property. During June, the nights are very short. This place would be great for a couple with or without a couple kids. ##### alan l. Séjour de 5 nuits en juin 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Astrid S. 4 juin 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Wonderful iconic gem of a home in a delightful village setting with stunning views We really enjoyed our stay in this iconic home. There was a great deal of attention to detail in all the tasteful furnishings and items provided. We appreciated the cosey throws, the comfortable mattress and well-equipped kitchen. The street in which the home is situated we saw featured in several artists' works on the island. It faces the bay for you to enjoy evening sunsets and the sounds of water lapping or the seals talking with one another about the weather. We enjoyed the quiet and friendly village of Portnahaven, walking along the coastline, stopping in at the pub or picking up home baked cake at the “cake cupboard, all a short walk from the house. The Port Charlotte Hotel is a short drive for a wonderful meal. We will look forward to returning in the future to this special gem of a house. ##### Astrid S. Séjour de 10 nuits en mai 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Colette C. 21 mai 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Beautiful cottage, beautiful setting Excellent, beautiful, comfortable cottage. Tastefully decorated and furnished. Beautiful setting with breathtaking views, we saw seals every day, and watched them for hours, sometimes just below the cottage. ##### Colette C. Séjour de 7 nuits en mai 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Marion H. 3 oct. 2022 Points forts : Propreté #### Peaceful, idyllic location A lovely cottage and location, an excellent standard of accommodation and immaculately clean. A lot of thought from the host regarding home comforts made our stay in Islay very enjoyable. ##### Marion H.

Thoroughly recommend the property a d the area. ##### Robert M. Séjour de 7 nuits en juillet 2022 ### 8/10 – Bien #### Richard N. 16 juin 2022 Points forts : Propreté #### Great host, nice cottage, but needs to change listing about “clothes dryer” The good: 1) the host was super responsive about questions or issues (with the exception of one issue, see below). 2) the town was postcard perfect 3) the cottage was as described and pictured (which one exception). 4) rain-head shower and water pressure were awesome The problem I have is that the cottage does not have an effective, usable, mechanical clothes dryer. It is advertised as having one. The owner needs to either change the listing or fix this. It technically has an “combo” washing machine and clothes dryer. However, the drying function appears to be broken. We found no noticeable difference when we had the unit wash and dry clothes and when we had it just wash them. The clothes were equally wet at the end. We have nearly 10 years worth of experience using combo washer/dryers. We understand all the quirks and issues with them. This was not that. This unit does not dry properly. The owner admitted this in a message to us AFTER we had checked in. We were in Scotland for nearly a month. We planned our stay to do all of our laundry at this cottage. It was a pain and took literally five times the time it should have to do our laundry. This cut down on our exploring time. The owner really needs to update the listing and call out this defect, or fix it. Another problem? There technically is an outdoor laundry clothes line area. However, it is so overgrown with weeds and brush, that we couldn’t get the clothes there. We tried but kept slipping on the tall, overgrown weeds. Plus, the clothes got dirty from the weeds. We sent a message to the owner explaining this problem, and we got no reply. That’s a shame, because she was super responsive every other time. Finally, because the outdoor clothes line is as not effectively accessible, we had to dry the clothes on the heated towel rack in the bathroom. The problem is it’s so small that we could only wash and dry a few clothes at a time. This wasted a lot of time we could have been exploring the island. If VRBO would let me I would rate this a 3.5\. I picked 4 because the owner seemed nice. They just need to address the clothes dryer issue and the fact you can’t effectively use the clothes line. ##### Richard N. Séjour de 9 nuits en mai 2022 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### DiAnn P. 2 juin 2022 Points forts : Propreté #### Portnahaven home Lovely accommodations with a fully equipped kitchen. Beautiful views from the front windows and lovely coastal walks. We took the local buses to enjoy the whiskey and distillery tastings (to be sure we didn’t have any issues with driving and alcohol). Luckily we purchased food on Bowmore because the bus run times are limited. If you have a car you are able to drive to Bowmore or Fort Ellen for dinner. Suggest rolling your luggage down to the front entrance. The lane is narrow in front and there is no turn around. The local pub is not open at this time. If you walk to Port Wemyss along the coastal path there is a lovely coffee, pastry, and pie take away window/shop. We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of Portnahaven and the VRBO home. ##### DiAnn P. Séjour de 4 nuits en mai 2022 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Duncan M. 16 août 2021 Points forts : Propreté #### Holiday Happiness Fantastic little cottage (genuinely) a stone’s throw from the beach. Perfect for families. The cottage has been revamped and is ideally located next to the beach. We loved it. I recommend it to all families with young kids. We had a week making magical memories. ##### Duncan M. Séjour de 7 nuits en août 2021 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Charlotta H. 14 juin 2021 Points forts : Propreté #### Lovely wee house Lovely cottage of high standard, fully equipped kitchen and stunning views. Little extra bits and bobs (box of lego came out straight away) that made the stay even more enjoyable. Amazing patio if wether is good. Very friendly and accommodating hosts. Highly recommend! ##### Charlotta H. ## Dernières tendances Expedia ### Hôtels > [Hotel Riu Tikida Palmeraie - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Marrakech-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Tikida-Palmeraie-All-Inclusive.h2955364.Description-Hotel) > > [Montréal – Hôtels-boutiques](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Montreal-Hotel-Hotel-Boutique.0-0-d178288-tHotelboutique.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ayer's Cliff – Hôtels acceptant les animaux](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Ayers-Cliff-Hotel-Animaux-De-Compagnie-Acceptes.0-0-d10599-tAnimauxdecompagnieacceptes.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Auberges de jeunesse Levis](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Levis-Auberges-De-Jeunesse.d8435-aaAubergesDeJeunesse.Guide-de-Voyage-Hebergement) > > [Malaga – Hôtels au bord de la plage](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Malaga-Hotel-Hotel-De-Bord-De-Mer.0-0-d312-tHoteldeborddemer.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ajaccio – Hôtels](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Ajaccio-Hotel.d334.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Manhattan – Hôtels](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Manhattan-New-York-Hotel.0-n129440-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sun Beach Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Sun-Beach-Inn.h9664928.Description-Hotel) > > [Auberge Saint-Pierre](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Quebec-Hotels-Auberge-Saint-Pierre.h910809.Description-Hotel) > > [Québec – Hôtels pour les familles](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Quebec-Hotel-Hotel-Familial.0-0-d180017-tHotelfamilial.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Majestic Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/SantAgnello-Hotels-Majestic-Palace-Hotel.h45862.Description-Hotel) > > [Saint-Fabien – Hôtels au bord de la plage](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Saint-Fabien-Hotel-Hotel-De-Bord-De-Mer.0-0-d6264460-tHoteldeborddemer.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Palazzo Lakeside Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Orlando-Hotels-Palazzo-Lakeside.h14701.Description-Hotel) > > [Rimouski – Hôtels acceptant les animaux](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Rimouski-Hotel-Animaux-De-Compagnie-Acceptes.0-0-d4120-tAnimauxdecompagnieacceptes.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Dartmouth – Hôtels](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Dartmouth-Hotel.d7560.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Baie-Sainte-Catherine – Hôtels](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Baie-Sainte-Catherine-Hotel.d6057501.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Forfaits > [Zoo de Magnetic Hill](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Zoo-De-Magnetic-Hill-Moncton.d6131990.Attractions-Vacances) > > [Hampton Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Hampton-Beach-Hampton.d183565.Attractions-Vacances) > > [Cinéma Sunset Drive-In Theater](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Cinema-Sunset-Drive-In-Theater-Malletts-Bay.d553248621532665607.Attractions-Vacances) > > [Vacances – Europe](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Europe.d6022967.Voyages-et-Court-Sejours) > > [Vacances – Puerto Vallarta](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Puerto-Vallarta.d180016.Voyages-et-Court-Sejours) > > [Vacances – Îles Exumas](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Iles-Exumas.d6247365.Voyages-et-Court-Sejours) > > [Vacances – Current](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Current.d6225399.Voyages-et-Court-Sejours) ### Général > [À visiter – Oranjestad](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Oranjestad.dx450) > > [À visiter – Marbella City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Marbella-Centre-Ville-De-Marbella.dx553248633937780849)
