    Una posizione straordinaria!! Nella piccola baia di fronte al cottage ci sono le foche, visibili a occhio nudo e comunque nel cottage è a disposizione un binocolo! Molto comoda la stufa, con pezzi di legno a disposizione. Consiglio il piccolo pub...

Sitting alongside the small picturesque bay in the village of Portnahaven, this 200 year old cottage, with original features is a peaceful retreat. The Isle of Islay is one of Argyll’s most southerly islands, enjoying a mild climate and boasting many glorious sandy beaches.
There is plenty to see and do on the island - watch the seals form the front door, wildlife, fishing, golf, walking and cycling are all available or visit some of the archaeological sites and the nine famous distilleries (with two more planned to open in the next couple of years) to sample the whisky! Take a day trip to nearby Jura from Port Askalg (22miles), Bowmore (18 miles) has traditional shops. Shop 100 yards, pub ¼ mile (across the bay).
