About this cottage rental

This wonderful croft on Easdale Island is the ultimate "getaway from it all" so escape for the perfect adventure holiday.

Built in the 1800's the cottage has been designed to reflect the island’s slate-quarrying heritage. This pet friendly cottage comprises of two good size double bedrooms, a family bathroom, modern kitchen with all the utensils needed for your stay and a warm living room with a large log burner stove to give that extra cosy feel to it, the extra special feature to this stove is it will heat the whole house, combined with coal and fuel for your stay.

The big spacious back garden and patio which can be accessed from the living area, this has unlimited stunning sea views across the Atlantic towards the Isle of Mull where you can sit all day and watch the abundance of wildlife and many Yacht’s sailing bye or just sit and take in the sea air while having your morning coffee/tea. To accompany that you have a further front facing garden area with views over the island and onto the mainland for more bird watching.

One of the best features of this cottage is you can walk straight from your back garden with walks to find spectacular old slate mind quarry pools, it really is just breath-taking!

Easdale cottage is situated 16 miles from Oban "Gate way to the isles”. While you drive down the road taking in all its beauty you will pass over the world-famous Clachan Bridge, which is the bridge over the Atlantic. Here you will find your first local restaurant to dine at during your stay – Tigh an Truish.

Next you arrive in to Seil, right in the square you can dine out at the Oyster Bar & Restaurant, while enjoying spectacular views over to Scarba and Jura to name a few! Serves great pub meals and Scottish real Ales.

Accessed by road to the mainland of seil then by foot you will catch the small ferry (£2.50 return) for 3 minutes and by foot for the last 300 yards to the cottage with your very own wheelbarrow for transporting your luggage (different or what!).

A warm friendly welcome, is your next pit stop for great homemade food and drink is the Puffer Bar & Restaurant, located just as you come off the ferry and only a short 2 min walk from your cottage. This place has a real peace and tranquillity about it with a great atmosphere to unwind.

    We loved the cottage, the excitement of going across on the ferry, the gardens both back and front give amazing views. After a walk round the island it’s wonderful to come back to the cosy living room.

    Amazing cottage in a stunning island setting! Views are spectacular. Cottage is beautiful, comfortable, clean, and well equipped, including a very nice library of books and videos. A true vacation "get away", as no automobiles are permitted on the island. Very low key. We especially enjoyed hiking around the island and relaxing on the property. The ferry runs precisely on schedule and is a quick 3 minute ride to the neighboring island and car park. The owner provided explicit instructions well ahead of time to prepare us for access to the island and all other necessary details. He was also readily available and pleasant when we contacted him with a couple of questions. There is one restaurant on Easdale, with limited hours. There is another restaurant and a small shop on the neighboring island near the ferry launch, and more along the way to Oban. There are boating opportunities that leave from Easdale. The Easdale museum is great and well worth a visit. A wonderful experience that we highly recommend!

    We spent 5 nights at Easdale Cottage & thoroughly enjoyed the cottage, facilities, location & views. The cottage is tastefully decorated & well stocked. Dual heating option is a good idea, although the fantastic weather we had meant we really only used the stove to boost the water heat. The cottage gardens are super to sit in & take stock of the views/wildlife & enjoy a beverage with a book/pair of binoculars. The Islanders were warm & friendly, the ferrymen helpful & witty. The Puffer & The Oyster Bar were a smashing spots to grab some tasty food. Walks around the island & Ellenabeich interesting, lovely gardens (Armaddy & An Cala) & the local museums full of artefacts & info to pad out our knowledge of The Slate Islands. Would definitely recommend Easdale Cottage & Island......we hope to get back.
