The accommodation

From the outside you might think this is still a farm building, but open the rustic barn door and you will find a spacious and comfortable cottage!  We wanted the farm square to still look like a farm..  Each room in this eco friendly holiday cottage has high coombed ceilings to give an airy feel. Large square Velux windows in the sitting room and main bedroom create plenty of passive solar gain when the sun is shining.

The entrance hall (with adjoining shower-room, W.C., basin and separate drying area) opens into the spacious sitting room. The sitting room is bright and warm, with red pine floors and rugs, comfortable sofas and armchairs round a wood burning stove. The room has a view to the north across the farmyard and through the trees in the owners’ garden to the sea and Calgary Point.  Two single adult sized ‘box beds’ (for the + 2) in the west wall provide an alternative to a sofa bed.

The main bedroom, accessed from the sitting room, offers a super kingsize double bed, an antique marble washstand as a dressing table and ample hanging space in the wardrobe.

The window in the north wall looks out across the farm yard beyond the farmhouse garden, through trees, to the sea. The large skylight window floods the room with light and gives the room a relaxing view of the sky – at night you can lie in bed watching the stars!

An attractive spiral staircase leads from the kitchen up to a romantic open sleeping gallery/mezzanine with a kingsize bed. Its skylight window has views over the Point and the sea.

The ample kitchen/dining room affords outstanding views out to the Point and to the sea from its small sunroom.  From these window seats you can catch the best sunsets all year round.  The kitchen itself is well appointed with ceramic hob cooker, tall fridge/freezer, microwave and food processor.  A family bathroom is situated next to the kitchen.  Both bath and toilet have hand rails to aid mobility.

There is a small grassy garden with colourful Rosa Rugosa hedging and a garden bench/table – beyond the hedge there is an area for parking the car and a grassy bank provides extra space for children to play. Dogs are welcome.

*Due to our remote location we are unable to get conventional broadband through the phone line.  Thanks to the mobile EE signal coming from the Isle of Coll we have been able to install a mobile broadband router in Duill.  There is a data usage limit of 10GB per week.  It is not possible to buy an unlimited mobile broadband package.
