    A lovely modern building, our hostess met us and welcomed us and showed us around. There were only two of us but there was ample room for four and the place was very warm and cosy which was a plus given that we were hit by storms during our stay.

The small village of caol ila is a great base to explore Islay, located just 5 mins from the ferry port of Port Askaig and 15 mins from Bowmore - the islands capital.
