Find the country houses that appeal to you the most
Looking for a country house?
The top choice for people wanting to get away from noise and fast-paced city life. Country houses are private homes based in the peaceful countryside, with communal facilities and meals available. Activities to unwind can be included too, such as trekking, birdwatching and cycling.
The breakfast we had at Skerrols House was superb; It's the best one among the whole trip.
And the bed is comfy, the room is quiet. We had a great stay.
Skerrols House provides a warm welcome for the traveller. It is incredibly well run by Thomas who is a superb host and whose wife cooks an excellent breakfast. Set in peaceful countryside with lovely views. Our bedroom had views across the countryside, comfy beds and plenty of space to settle in happily. A fabulous place to stay and explore the beautiful Isle of Islay.
The location is very quiet, in the middle of a beautiful landscape. Great for a nice morning walk. Still, within a short drive you can find restaurants, distilleries etc.
Thomas is a very friendly and welcoming host.
Rooms are great, spacious, newly renovated.
Breakfast ist awesome! Try the scrambled eggs any version.
Very nice garden to sit with a beer or for kids to play.
Will come again any time we’ll have the chance.
My whole family was very happy here.
The staff were the highlight. We visited for our honeymoon and we were greeted by a room upgrade and cosy fireside drams. Breakfast was extravagant, plenty to eat and all very tasty. Dinner was lovely, made extra special by the birthday cake they brought out for me! The restaurant was cosy, peaceful, lovely. The location is also excellent, right in the heart of the island.
Guest house manager was very friendly and he accommodated anything for us. The location was exceptional. So peaceful. The best sleep I ever had. I would definitely come back again with my family next time!
The location is beautiful and in a quiet area, the beds are supper comfy and the rooms are nice. For me felt a bit pricey but all the hotels are in Islay and its peak season so it is what it is.
Breakfast was special, served directly by the chef.
The hotel is located in a quiet and beautiful countryside.
It is difficult to access by bus, but in return you can enjoy the typical Scottish natural beauty.
Handy as it was on the main road but still quiet. Lovely garden to sit out in and enjoy a drink and a read a book before dinner.
Staff were welcoming and friendly at all times
