About the host

Hosted by Ian Storey

Host profile image
We live in Ellister Lodge for some of the year, but running a company on the mainland means we can't be there all of the time.

Why they chose this property

Ellister Lodge was built in 2008 and has since been improved and equipped to the standards we expect - not as a holiday rental (we've stayed in some pretty disappointing ones) but as our home. It's in one of Islay's best locations, built on rock that's 1.8 billion years old

What makes this property unique

The sun rising over the sea is special, every day is different. Wildlife is abundant, as are farm animals on the surrounding estate. At night the moon reflects on the water and we see the distant lighthouses of Northern Island
