The Old Cottage

A fantastic B & B with stunning views. A superb base to explore some truly stunning places. Karen's breakfasts are first class and Darren's almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the surrounding area's really came in helpful. There's a great restaurant literally a minutes walk away and several more a short drive away. Definitely somewhere we'll be returning.

Not having booked a longer stay

The breakfast was beautiful and the wildlife visible from the breakfast room was amazing.

It’s lovely. Very comfortable room, great hospitality from the owners, and excellent breakfast. It’s in a beautiful location, right next to the botanical gardens and a four star hotel that does great food, among other places locally.

Can’t fault anything.

Right next to a beach and Arduaine Gardens. Fantastic breakfast and lovely hosts who helped with our sightseeing planning

Nothing

Darren & Karen where lovely hosts, very welcoming and knowledgeable about the local history, wildlife, places to eat ect. Our room was very well presented, comfortable bed, well thought out décor and furnishings, also had own private outside entrance. The shared lounge was an extra bonus, beautifully furnished with well stocked books, maps and information literature. The location was ideal for the Arduaine Gardens which we planned to visit. The breakfast was excellent regarding choice and quality produce.

Nothing, couldn't fault anything

Nice quiet retreat. Great Location next to the melfort hotel and the audurain garden. Host Darren and Karen was very welcoming and accommodating. A lovely couple. Breakfast with partial loch view and watching birds, rabbit feeding takes you to Beatrice Porter’s Peter Rabbit world. I stayed in Room Islay which is lovely.

Fantastic location, lovely room with comfortable bed and huge bathroom with powerful shower. Great choice for breakfast. Darren and Karen were lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful but still respected your privacy. Could have stayed much longer and will certainly be back.

Breakfast was great and we watched rabbits and birds eat seeds on the patio.

no complaints

Un lugar muy acogedor. Habitación y baño espaciosos y confortables. Todo muy limpio. Buen desayuno.

El color del agua, aunque nos explicaron qué es un problema que se produce en esta área cuando llueve demasiado.

The location was perfect for our short visit to the western isles.

There was a smell of damp in our room.
