The location is highly regarded for its spectacular scenery, peace and quiet, and access to West Coast attractions, although a lack of nearby sandy beaches is noted.
Comfort is highlighted with mentions of large comfy bedrooms, warm house, and the ability to adjust heating. However, one review mentioned minor discomfort due to storage placement in a twin room.
Facilities are well-received with two lounges, Sky TVs, and an Aga for cooking. Some areas for improvement include pothole filling and the addition of a shower shelf.

Cross the bridge and enter an island idyll, surrounded by beautiful countryside, friendly folk and lovely sea views over the Bridge. Ideal for a larger family, with loads of sociable space on the ground floor, and stunning sea views, Innish will not disappoint! There is a large kitchen/diner with cosy Aga, which will be the hub of your holiday, warm and welcoming. There are two large living rooms, both with open fires, one ideal for family use, just off the kitchen, and the other a little more private, for cosy and quiet relaxing.

Outside, you have access to a large lawned front garden, where you can sit and immerse yourself in the views. The rear hillside garden is lawned with mature shrubs and perfect for adventurous children, who will discover the hidden barbeque area.
Innish 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 & 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.

A fabulous house with everything needed for a great holiday, home from home.Lovely views right on your doorstep and absolutely stunning scenery just a few minutes walk away. Ideal base for a break away from everything The pub next door (Tigh An Trish) has fabulous food and so friendly, shame it only opens half the week this time of year!

A very well equipped property. The house was warm and we liked being able to adjust heating and not just have preset times. Cooking on the Aga during a power cut was a novel experience but it kept the kitchen warm too. Loved the 2 sitting areas and the ability to have a real fire. Beds on the whole were comfortable. Good parking - part of driveway out maybe needs some filling of the potholes! Storage in one of the twin rooms in awkward place (bruises from sidling past the bed to get to hangers and small chest of drawers!) Owners very helpful.
