Innish Beag is within just a few yards of an excellent pub and eatery, and although rural, the island is really well served for amenities. With an excellent local store at Balvicar, plus several shops, pubs and restaurants on the island, you will not have to travel far to find a place to eat out or find something to do or explore. The Isle of Seil is one of the Slate Islands, known as the “Islands which roofed the World” and has been linked to the mainland by the Clachan Bridge (Bridge Over The Atlantic) since the late 18th century. An abundance of wild life in the area; eagles, buzzards, kestrels, otters, deer, badgers, and a friendly local community, makes it an ideal place to get away from the bustle of city life and unwind.
There are several fantastic boat trip operators nearby offering a chance to see the amazing wildlife including a high speed Rib Boat trip through the Corryvreckan whirlpools. There is a nine hole golf course on the island, charters, kayaking, diving and numerous walks. The bridge which connects the Isle of Seil to the mainland enables easy access for exploring the Oban area and mid-Argyll as well as Glencoe and Fort William. Beach 14½ miles.

The cottage looked great on your website but a little disappointing on artival. Unfortunately, the ceiling in the living/kitchen area was flaking and peeling. It looked as if a repair may have been attempted but had failed. Also, some of the crockery was not clean and had to be washed before use. The ceilings in the stairwell well had cobwebs too. On the up side, the bed and sofa were very comfortable and the bathroom was lovely.

Very peaceful, just what we needed. The scenery was beautiful. The cottage was very cosey. We had a lovely relaxing time.

Lovely property. Peaceful location. Pub next door very friendly with great food. Stunning surrounding scenery & we especially loved the rabbits & deer in the garden. Alan’s boat trips from Oban harbour was great we saw a lot of seals.
