Lovely cottage, great views, enjoyed the peace and quiet and long walks on The Big Strand. Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable bed, would definitely recommend to family and friends. Elizabeth & Maged Dundee Sept 2012

We enjoyed our stay on Islay. We had a wonderful time on Islay enjoying the whisky festival, the nature on Islay and the sunny weather. The cottage is very well equipped and fulfilled all our needs. It was a very central starting point for exploring Islay in every direction. We will recommend it. Berthold Noll & friends May 2013 Germany

We’ve had a lovely short break at Rowan Cottage which has everything and more than you could hope for in a holiday home. It is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. We made good use of the wood burning stove which kept us cosy in the evenings. Alasdair was thrilled to visit the grave of his 5 x great grandparents at Kilnaughton cemetery. Haste ye back. Alasdair & Louise Glasgow Feb 14

After our wedding we headed up to Islay and have had a wonderful honeymoon at Rowan cottage… Golf at the Machrie was great, high scores but a great course … Had a great sea kayak with Dave who took us out to Texa & Lagavulin from Port Ellen. Ruaraidh & Emma Stewart June 2014

We loved the cottage, it is very comfortable, tastefully furnished and equipped to high standard – very peaceful location too. We had male hen harrier and buzzard in the garden. Great birding over on the Oa and Loch Gruinart we visited many of the distilleries, hopped over to Jura where we say Golden Eagles and Sea Eagles. Hope to come again soon, loved it.

Your home and the island could not be more perfect. Thank you so very much. We won’t forget any of it. From our island to yours, much aroha Louise Saunders and crew January 17 New Zealand

Absolutely amazing holiday. Beautiful cottage with fantastic views. We made friends with the cow across the road. We named him Cedric but after chatting with the farmer we discovered his real name was Herbet! Stokes family August 18
