Excellent, beautiful, comfortable cottage. Tastefully decorated and furnished. Beautiful setting with breathtaking views, we saw seals every day, and watched them for hours, sometimes just below the cottage.

True Paradise!

This dog-friendly cottage was overlooking the harbour and little beach.There were lovely wee touches that demomstrated that the owners cared about those staying there. One example was the detachable support handle in the bathroom for anyone requiring such support in the shower room/toilet.The cottage was immaculate and so comfortable and cosy.The village of Portnahaven was so beautiful and the people so amazingly friendly.We absolutely loved our stay and hope some day to return.We have stayed in many beautiful cottages and this one is definitely one of the best.We absolutely adored it.

Cosy and comfortable seaside cottage

We had the perfect stay at the Old Salt House. Kim had taken care of everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable, the shower was fab, the deck gave us stunning views, the pub round the bay was just sublime, and the cottage was always a joy to return to; a cosy neuk after the Portnahaven winds. Portnahaven and Port Wymss are gorgeous island villages. They’re off the beaten track but with so much to see, do and learn. We had an amazing time at the Whisky Festival but also on the many beautiful walks around this amazing part of the world. We’d thoroughly recommend Kim’s beautiful cottage as the perfect place to stay.

A Gem!

A beautiful, comfortable cottage in a fabulous location overlooking the harbour. Watching the seals bask in front of the cottage and the changing sea and sky scapes was amazing. Our host was very helpful and easy to communicate with as we experienced ferry problems. Definitely recommend and hope to return one day!

Islay whiskey

Portnahaven is at the end of the island. Very quaint, quiet, away from the crowds. There is bus service but we rented a car for our time. The property is right above the bay. Seals play, fishing vessels, great walks. There was one small bar that had a few dishes for dinner. We would drive into the main area of the island, tour a distillery, grab groceries and make dinner at the property. During June, the nights are very short. This place would be great for a couple with or without a couple kids.

Wonderful iconic gem of a home in a delightful village setting with stunning views

We really enjoyed our stay in this iconic home. There was a great deal of attention to detail in all the tasteful furnishings and items provided. We appreciated the cosey throws, the comfortable mattress and well-equipped kitchen. The street in which the home is situated we saw featured in several artists' works on the island. It faces the bay for you to enjoy evening sunsets and the sounds of water lapping or the seals talking with one another about the weather. We enjoyed the quiet and friendly village of Portnahaven, walking along the coastline, stopping in at the pub or picking up home baked cake at the “cake cupboard, all a short walk from the house. The Port Charlotte Hotel is a short drive for a wonderful meal. We will look forward to returning in the future to this special gem of a house.

Portnahaven home

Lovely accommodations with a fully equipped kitchen. Beautiful views from the front windows and lovely coastal walks. We took the local buses to enjoy the whiskey and distillery tastings (to be sure we didn’t have any issues with driving and alcohol). Luckily we purchased food on Bowmore because the bus run times are limited. If you have a car you are able to drive to Bowmore or Fort Ellen for dinner. Suggest rolling your luggage down to the front entrance. The lane is narrow in front and there is no turn around. The local pub is not open at this time. If you walk to Port Wemyss along the coastal path there is a lovely coffee, pastry, and pie take away window/shop. We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of Portnahaven and the VRBO home.

Portnahaven and the company of seals.

A lovely cozy cottage right in the bay of Portnahaven, where the seals will gather most of the day, and sing to you into the night! All the roads to Portnahaven are single track with passing places, to be prepared for oncoming vehicles, and the road surfaces can be somewhat "rough" to say the least. The cozy cottage has all you need, with a well equipped kitchen and a large walk-in shower, although no shelving to put your shower gel and shampoo's on, so it's a bend down job onto the shower tray base, and there are no grab bars, so watch the slippery shower base. Car parking is at the rear of the property and access to the back door (and key safe) are down some VERY steep stairs, so great care is needed! I recommend getting someone to volunteer to climb these steep steps, use the key safe to get in and open the front door, where someone else has driven the car down the narrow lane at the front of the cottage and unload the car from there! BTW, the shop in Portnahaven is no longer open, so make sure you have plenty of supplies before you arrive. All in all, a great place to visit!

This is a beautiful cottage in a stunningly picturesque area. The cottage is well equipped and easy to live in. However I would not recommend it for more than two people. My partner and I were away for 2 weeks and only managed by spreading our stuff over both bedrooms. We also did not fine the sofa very comfortable for more than one person. Portnahaven bay is beautiful and the cottage faces West so gets great sunsets. However, not many people actually live there now (only 62 according to one person we met) which does mean a fair amount of the properties are holiday lets, so there is little feel of community. We did use the tiny local put a couple of times, and buy a lovely lobster from a local, but that was about it. The local shop is now closed and most of our row of cottages was not in use while we were there, which is a great shame. The nearest next town is about a 15 minute drive away. Despite all this, we had a very lovely 5 days and definitely recommend food and music in The Port Charlotte Hotel. And the amazing RSPB walk at The Oa where we were lucky enough to see Golden Eagles.

Visit to see relatives on the island.

Property is lovely inside, very well decorated and immaculately clean. Shower was phenomenal. Kitchen was well kitted out with everything we needed as we did cook. The living/relaxing area was okay, it had everything we needed and myself and the two other adults had a place to sit on the small couch or at dining table, it just wasn't comfortable after a full day of exploring - The couch was hard and the dining chairs/bench, you could only sit on these for a limited amount of time before having to move. There were packs of cards in the media unit and a TV with a NowTV box which was good. My sister in law slept on the lower bunk of the room which is directed at children, she mentioned the bed was quite uncomfortable and felt as though it was propped up and lumpy. Myself and my husband slept in the king bed and this was excellent, it was extremely comfortable. We made use of the iron which was handy. The view from the living room window is brilliant. The back garden area has extremely steep stairs. Whilst the owner is making guests aware, I think signage on the outside of the gate would be helpful and could potentially avoid a nasty complaint. Decking area was nice but, unsafe! The ''fencing'' is rope which children/dogs could go through to a 8-10ft drop. We noticed damp humidifier tubs placed around the property and have all returned with a nasty cough and I am asthmatic - hoping dampness hasn't caused this! I do understand it is an older cottage and can be susceptible to damp.

Great host, nice cottage, but needs to change listing about “clothes dryer”

The good: 1) the host was super responsive about questions or issues (with the exception of one issue, see below). 2) the town was postcard perfect 3) the cottage was as described and pictured (which one exception). 4) rain-head shower and water pressure were awesome The problem I have is that the cottage does not have an effective, usable, mechanical clothes dryer. It is advertised as having one. The owner needs to either change the listing or fix this. It technically has an “combo” washing machine and clothes dryer. However, the drying function appears to be broken. We found no noticeable difference when we had the unit wash and dry clothes and when we had it just wash them. The clothes were equally wet at the end. We have nearly 10 years worth of experience using combo washer/dryers. We understand all the quirks and issues with them. This was not that. This unit does not dry properly. The owner admitted this in a message to us AFTER we had checked in. We were in Scotland for nearly a month. We planned our stay to do all of our laundry at this cottage. It was a pain and took literally five times the time it should have to do our laundry. This cut down on our exploring time. The owner really needs to update the listing and call out this defect, or fix it. Another problem? There technically is an outdoor laundry clothes line area. However, it is so overgrown with weeds and brush, that we couldn’t get the clothes there. We tried but kept slipping on the tall, overgrown weeds. Plus, the clothes got dirty from the weeds. We sent a message to the owner explaining this problem, and we got no reply. That’s a shame, because she was super responsive every other time. Finally, because the outdoor clothes line is as not effectively accessible, we had to dry the clothes on the heated towel rack in the bathroom. The problem is it’s so small that we could only wash and dry a few clothes at a time. This wasted a lot of time we could have been exploring the island. If VRBO would let me I would rate this a 3.5. I picked 4 because the owner seemed nice. They just need to address the clothes dryer issue and the fact you can’t effectively use the clothes line.

Hi Richard, Thank you for your feedback. I am delighted you enjoyed the cottage, our awesome power shower and the beautiful location of Portnahaven. I am so sorry for any misunderstanding with regards to the clothes drier. As I said in my reply to your query, we only use the washing machine as a washing machine (as described). There is a high spin option to give washing an extra spin. We have a family of four and works great for all our holiday washing. I have added a description for the clothes drier that it is a fold away one stored in the kitchen that can be either placed outside or by one of the large heaters. I did reply to all of your queries regarding how to close windows and also with regards to the fold away clothes drier. Many thanks again, Kim

This cozy cottage in the tranquil village of Portnahaven was the perfect setting for a sisters' getaway week. Splendid scenery, stunning coastal walks, absolute quiet (rarely an engine sound), except for the birds and the seals. Without a car, we managed to get around by bus and hired a driver for one day to explore parts of the island off the bus route. Everyone we met was super friendly. We particularly enjoyed the pub in Portnahaven. Taxis need to be booked in advance. Also recommend stocking up on groceries in Bowmore before arrival as there are no shops in Portnahaven.
