An ideal romantic couple’s retreat, with a loft bedroom and stunning sea views, Innish Beag will not disappoint!

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. Pub and restaurant 85 yards.

Great spot, especially for boat trips from either Easdale or Oban. No problems or issues other than road works getting off the island.

Beautiful little cottage for two with a gorgeous garden where you will see an abundance of Rabbits and birds. A Fantastic view of the Bridge over Atlantic from both upstairs and upstairs windows. Comfortable furnishings. Kitchen had everything we needed. There is a lovely walk behind the cottage that goes down to the shore. All very dog friendly. Not to mention the pub next door. There are plenty of places of interest close by. All in all it’s a hidden gem.
