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.

Easdale island is unique. The smallest permanently inhabited inner-Hebridean island, it was once the heart of Scotland’s world-renowned slate mining industry. There is the award-winning Easdale Island Folk Museum which tells the story of the slate mining and the community’s past. It also hosts the worlds Stone skimming championships every year where people from all over the world come to join and watch.

A short Scottish island break

Lovely cottage which is fully equipped. Quirky location with friendly residents on the island. Accommodation has a fantastic position overlooking the harbour to one side and Jura and small islands to the other. Great place for a short break.

What a lovely place!

We really enjoyed our stay -- and our mini wire-haired dachshund enjoyed it even more. Great for dogs -- Rufus couldn't have had more toys, beds or bowls to try out. Lovely cottage, very cosy with a well-stocked dry cabinet! It is a very special place and we will return.

Another wonderful stay

Long weekend with daughter and soninlaw and grandchildren. It is as always a paradise on Easdale. Went down with the granddies to the world stone skimming site and even the 2 year old was up for it. Warm and comfortable in the cottage. Beautifully decorated. Lovely views from the cottage as well as on walks around the island.

A really great Easter holiday in Easdale Cottage

The cottage was just fantastic for our holiday. It was large and comfortable, the kitchen was excellent, and the wifi / TV / DVD were also first class (so good to still have a DVD player and a choice of DVDs!). The location was so beautiful as well. Before the holiday we were a little worried by the prospect of the ferry - but it was absolutely fine, and a fun change from using the car door to door. We immediately got into the routine of ferry times (there are plenty) and using the wheelbarrow. One of the best holidays we have had in a long time.

A luxury cottage on a blissfully unspoilt island with a diffence

Great fun that you have to get the small ferry across to the island there are no cars on the island so you use the cottage’s wheelbarrow and trolley to take your belongings up to the cottage. The cottage has every thing you need for self catering better equipped than many I have stayed in The island was slate quarry so you find the remains of the slate working every where but that is all bit different You can swim in the old quarries again something a bit different Ideal place for a real chill out break

Beautiful house on a beautiful island

Myself, my husband and our children enjoyed a wonderful stay in 39 Easdale. The house was everything we could have hoped for, in a beautiful setting with fantastic views from the front and back. The gardens provided a number of seating areas so we could always catch the sun and it was ideal for some rare Scottish al fresco dining! Inside the house everything had been thought of and was a lovely quality, it made our stay very easy. The instructions were very clear and easy to understand, and there was lots of information about the island. The island itself is stunning and we never ran out of walks, scrambles or pools to skim stones in! Our children have already asked if we can go back again next year, and my husband and I were only too happy to agree! A wonderful find, thank you for our stay.

A peaceful place...

Lovely cottage in a fabulous location. Spacious and well equipped. The lack of cars on the island, and barrows to transport your stuff to and from the cottage is novel... The pub and it's restaurant is excellent, but not open all the time. The coal fired heating and hot water system takes a bit of effort, but is cosy when going. Clearly a damp issue in some areas, with de-humidifiers provided. All said, we loved it - and very unusually, would consider returning!

Short but sweet stay at Easdale Cottage

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.

Everything we could have hoped for and more!

Easdale Cottage is a beautiful cottage , tastefully styled and has everything you could possibly need and more!!! Ross couldn’t have be more helpful to ensure we had a perfect stay. Loved the log burner in the evening whilst we played board games. The location is stunning with lovely seats in each garden to enjoy the views on both sides of the island. The island was idyllic , we loved swimming in the quarries , skimming stones and crabbing and fishing at the harbour. The ferry is fantastic, lovely friendly service. The kids were delighted when we stepped off the boat and found the lovely park, with the Puffer restaurant/ bar overlooking, delicious food!! Great little museum with a lovely lady who had a wealth of information about the history of the Island. We had an amazing week and didn’t want to leave!

Amazing Cottage

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!

Perfect cottage

We had a super time at Easdale visiting our daughter who worked there this season. No 39 has everything for a good self catering cottage. The bed was very comfy, wifi good. Easdale is a quiet little island and we enjoyed our stay.

We LOVED our time on Easdale. The location is stunning and the croft was perfect. The Puffer bar was super friendly and were the ferrymen and those working at Seafari. We had an amazing time and would thoroughly recommend it.
