The Granary

Our cottage is on the island of Seil. It's an island but connected to the mainland by a small hump back bridge, so it is only 20 minutes drive into the town of Oban, with supermarkets and restaurants.

The island is the perfect place for a peaceful break, with spectacular scenery, walks, and many attractions nearby. The island has two pubs, both of which serve food. The village shop is 100 yards away.

The Granary is one wing of an old stone farmhouse. It is recently refurbished to a very high standard, graded four star, and all facilities are in excellent condition.

The property has two bedrooms, one a double with en suite bathroom, one a twin. There's also a sofa bed downstairs, as well as a second bathroom.

The living room has a woodburner, satellite tv, and wireless internet. There is a newly-fitted kitchen and dining room. Downstairs has underfloor heating, upstairs has radiators, and the system is supplemented by solar panels.

Outside there is a pleasant garden, which includes a children's swing and scramble net. To the back you can just glimpse the sea; hills and countryside make a lovely prospect out the front.

Behind the house there is a 9-hole golf course. Seil is the base for the famous Seafari boat trips. From Oban you can take the ferry to Mull and the historic isle of Iona, as well as many other islands of the Hebrides.

The area has fabulous opportunities for walking, fishing, diving, sailing, sea-kayaking and horse-riding, and there are several historic houses and gardens to visit.

The house is about two and a half hours drive from Glasgow Airport. Oban is served by train, coach and ferry, and a local bus stops outside our door. Or you can fly from Glasgow to Oban via Loch Lomond Seaplanes!
