Holiday houses in Port Charlotte

A lovely cottage in the center of Port Charlotte, with lovely neighbours, a shop opposite and 2 friendly Pubs. Perfect for our stay. Thank you Maggie and Sally

An amazing stay on a stunning island. The location is perfect if you are looking for peace, with the advantage of having the small cute village of Portnahaven 15min away on foot or less than 5 min by car, where you have a tiny pub serving delicious and incredibly fresh seafood. There is a beautiful little beach 10min away on foot (Carrie Sands). Port Charlotte is 15min away by car, on a single track but easy to drive road (plenty of passing points) with stunning views - you can’t get tired of the drive, it is stunning each time! If touring distilleries, Bruichladdich and Kilkhoman are quite close (less than 30min), pencil in longer travel times for the east side distilleries (e.g. 40-45 for caol ila/bunnahabhain/ardnahoe), up to 1h for the trio Laphroig/ Lagavulin/Ardbeg). However, again, it is a great drive with wonderful views. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated, spotless clean and has everything needed for either a short or long stay. Self check in is super convenient.

Port Charlotte was the perfect location for our trip. It has a shop with everything you need for a few days and the Port Charlotte Hotel and Seafood Kitchen are walking distance to eat out. I enjoyed swimming at the beach and views from the house.

no 11 is the most enchanting little cottage. It was Hugh, Lynsey's father, who met me and explained everything I needed to know. The situation is amazing, overlooking the bay in Portnahaven, and beyond to McKenzie Island and the Atlantic Ocean. It is in a very peaceful spot, where seals are seen daily, and also lots of sea birds. The interior is very well thought out, and of a very high standard. I had a wonderful visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Catherine’s place. It was very reasonably priced for Islay, where the accommodation is expensive. Very well laid out and we had everything we needed for our 6 night stay. Great location for walking into Port Charlotte and exploring the island by bike. WiFi was a bit erratic for us but adequate and 4G was fine when needed. Besides, WiFi a very low priority in such a beautiful place - much better to switch off!

Although my stay was for work, it's made more palatable with great accomodation. Comfortable, quiet, warm, clean, well equipped & a great location to tour Islay. Comfy bed & well equipped kitchen. Outside parking is great ( tho the universal law for parking wherever you want during school times never ceases to anaze me as people parked left, right & indeed centre (right in front of the step's to the apartment)) My only minor point would be the TV is rather small & antiquated, especially for the size of the living room. The TV remote was a tad temperamental. The host is superb & I wouldn't think twice about booking again. Highly recommended!

We loved staying here. It's in a quiet, remote location and has everything you need for your stay. Pat couldn't be kinder or more helpful. There are some lovely places to eat just a short drive away and the scenery is stunning. Hope to come back.

Pictures don't capture how beautiful the cottage is. It's quite remote up a forested hill, which feels miles away from everything but still close to a town for necessities. The cottage is a studio with a large fenced garden perfect for one or two people with a dog. We stayed on the hottest days of the year, but the cottage stayed cool. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. We appreciated the breakfast supplies! There are several walks from the doorstep, but a car is a must for the cottage and for the area (good for cycling too). Ali was very friendly and available next door if needed. We found lots to do in the area with our dog other than just walking. Stonefield Castle is a lovely dog-friendly alternative to pub or cafe meals. The bike rental on Isle of Gigha offers pet trailers. Carnasserie Castle is better than most ruins as you can climb the towers, and the grounds are well kept. Tarbert is worth visiting. Highly recommend Ali's place for a magical stay!
