We had a wonderful holiday at Balerominmhor. The position of the property is beautiful and we had everything we needed for a great family holiday on our beloved Colonsay. We have been visiting the island since 1999 and Balerominmhor is ideally equipped for busy family comings and goings, a real treat to have your own bathroom and well equipped for large family meals and enough room for guests to have their own space too. Really enjoyed the Folk Festival and lots of swimming, fishing, walking cycling, and enjoying the nature around you. Golden eagle and Hen harrier regularly seen.We will be bac...more
Great location. Very comfortable apartment and would book again. The island is beautiful and we have more to explore.
If you have even the smallest chance of staying at Baleromindubh House on Colonsay ... GRAB IT WITH BOTH HANDS! Colonsay is a delightful , calming, beautiful place - stunning beaches and great walks . Baleromindubh House is a fabulous base from which to explore everything on the island. Beautifully kept up, well equipped and in a stunning location, with plenty of room for friends and family . Just a brilliant place - with a fantastic team behinds the scenes to ensure everything goes as smoothly as you would want it to
I would highly highly highly recommend this particular cottage. No WiFi and no TV with absolutely spectacular views of the sea. You are in for a real break from the relentless aspects of modern life.
Well appointed and nicely presented little apartment with good customer service, set in attractive location

Spacious apartment. Comfortable double bed. Mismatch of kitchen items irritatingly mismatched glassware, no champagne flutes. No coasters for coffee table or bedside cabinets. We asked for extra but quite sharply told "no" there were none! Very draughty and difficult to keep warm and cosy, however free coal was provided which was provided, but we had to go down two flights of stairs, across the courtyard to heave it back up to the apartment. It was nice to have access to the grounds which we walked a couple of times. If you are prepared to accept these irritations then the location make...more
The apartment had an excellent blend of the traditional and modern. Kitchen and bathroom were contemporary, but the traditional furnishings of the rest of the apartment, all in perfect condition, made the place so homely and welcoming. Everything was fresh and clean. The starter items of coffee, etc. were an added touch. There was nothing to fault Required information was clearly given in a folder and the lack of notices which festoon many a self-caterging establishment was a welcome feature. It made the place seem more like home.
A great location for exploring Colonsay. Short walk to Kiloran Bay. Comfortable flat with more space than expected. Cafe staff very helpful and kind. Reception staff not very evident so if you are a first time visitor do your research beforehand. Lots of great walks.
We much enjoyed our stay at Scalasaig Farmhouse. It is spacious and comfortable. It is conveniently located for meals out and central for exploring this beautiful island.
This was our first time staying at Machrins. The accommodation was great, comfortable & relaxing with a large secure garden for the dogs. A place to definitely revisit with the family.
A very well situated cottage for exploring the island and watching wild life. Convenient for hotel and pantry for evening meals.
The accommodation at The Avenue was comfortable. We were there towards the end of October so winter weather had started to settle in. Once the heating kicked in and the fire got going it was really cosy. We ordered coal in advance which was a great option, however the kindling was rather damp so lighting the fire on the first day was a wee bit tricky. Once we were settled and got more kindling from the shop it was simple and good. The washing machine was a great help and wet clothes dried efficiently. Overall we had a lovely stay and really enjoyed all that Colonsay had to offer.
We loved the cottage and had a very enjoyable stay. The accommodation was entirely comfortable and suitable for our requirements.The weather was such that we did not need to use the heating although we enjoyed having the fire in the evenings. We intend to visit again in June time probably next year as this visit enabled us to recce the island on our first visit and we now have a range of things we would like to do on our next visit. A few constructive comments firstly on pricing. Before we arrived we felt we were charged 5* prices for a Eurocamp arrangement. Pay to have the beds made, pay fo...more
Whilst the house was in a lovely area and had everything you needed for your stay, the damp smell in the main bedroom was very unpleasant and at times overpowering.
The cottage is in a great location for easy access to beautiful Kiloran Bay, although there are no views of the bay from the cottage. The cottage was clean and comfortable, the kitchen small but very well equipped. The lounge is a bit dark as there is limited natural light but there are a lot of lamps. The lounge smells of damp which is most noticeable when you first enter the cottage as the front door opens into the lounge. Putting the heating on would probably get rid of this, but we didn’t wish to do this in July. There is also an additional charge for the electricity that you use. The cot...more
Celebrating 20 years of coming to Colonsay with the family and staying with Colonsay Estate Cottages. Lovely week. Kiloran Bay is a very special place.
