Built in the 1800's the cottage has been designed to reflect the island’s slate-quarrying heritage. The property comprises of two good size double bedrooms, a family bathroom, modern kitchen with all the utensils needed for your stay and a warm living room with a large log burning stove, capable of heating the whole house to give that extra cosy fee.

The large, spacious rear garden and patio (accessed from the living area), has unlimited stunning sea views across the Atlantic towards the Isle of Mull. You can sit all day and watch the abundance of wildlife and many Yacht’s sailing by or just sit and take in the sea air while having your morning coffee/tea. In addition to this is a further front facing garden area with views over the island and onto the mainland for more bird watching.

A main feature of the cottage is being able to walk straight from the rear garden along walks to find spectacular old slate mine quarry pools, it really is just breath-taking!

Easdale Cottage is situated 16 miles from Oban "Gateway to the Isles”.
