Colonsay Vacation Cottages

Summary

Colonsay Vacation Cottages are on one of the most beautiful islands in Scotland, the Isle of Colonsay. Our two holiday cottages are the perfect places to stay, for those who are looking for a break away from the hustle and bustle of modern-day living. Colonsay is a magical island with wonderful beaches and scenery; wildflowers, birds, woodland, ancient ruins and very friendly people.

Visiting Isle of Colonsay & Exploring Argyll

Travelling to Colonsay from Edinburgh or Glasgow, please consider a visit to our family hotels, ideally sited en route. The Best Western Crianlarich Hotel is a good choice from either city and also has the associated Glen Bruar B&B which shares the same facilities. Anyone travelling from Glasgow has a choice of roads, and if they choose the Rest and be Thankful route they will find themselves passing Loch Fyne Oyster Bar, Inveraray Castle and one of the arches flanking the 18th century Inveraray Inn. If you are making a reservation at either hotel, do request the Islander Rate and mention Colonsay!

The Isle of Colonsay is up to 3.5 km wide and about 16 km long, including the neighbouring island of Oronsay. It has excellent weather with low rainfall and long hours of sunshine; because it is surrounded by the sea there is a gentle breeze in summer which inhibits midges and other irritating insects. There are no snakes, but there are otters and the island is an important habitat for Grey Atlantic seals; you may even see dolphins, porpoises, Minke Whales or Basking Sharks. Colonsay has the largest colony of breeding seabirds in the Southern Hebrides, and its native flora is particularly diverse - many people come just to enjoy the carpets of flowers on the machair (lime-rich grassland bordering the sea).
