Really sweet little cottage in a quiet little spot within the grounds of the owners house. Extremely dog friendly which was perfect for us as we took 3!Immaculately clean with everything you need. Loved the log burner which made it very cosy. The island itself is small but has a fair few places to eat/drink and a short ferry crossing to Largs which was easy but a little pricey. Overall we loved our trip and would definitely recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the tenth anniversary of the Classical Guitar Retreat.

Hobbit Cottage was comfortable and charming and June and George Allison were friendly and helpful. We had a lovely time and the weather was grand too.

A lovely quirky wee cottage, spotless, very quiet and peaceful, exactly what wee we’re looking for. A little piece of heaven. The host was lovely and couldn’t do enough without being intrusive, will definitely be back. Bottle of wine sitting with a couple of glasses was really welcoming. Thank you for having us June, Dali had the best time.

Home from home

Had a great time at the Hobbit Cottage. We went for a relaxing holiday and got what we went for. Accommodation and weather were great. The cottage has everything you need to make your stay feel like a home from home 🏡. Thanks to June and the dogs who made us feel so welcome, we will hopefully be returning next year. Ps Mags and Baillie loved the fenced in garden.

Pet Friendly Cottage

Spent a lovely few days at the Hobbit Cottage. It has a dog friendly garden and it is a short walk to Kames Bay. You can access the Cathedral of the Isles from the end of the cul-de-sac which takes less than 5 minutes. The cottage is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. June, our host, was very attentive and you only had to ask if you needed anything.
