Feolin Farm - Self-catering house in Argyll & Bute
Craighouse, Isle of Jura, PA60 7XG, Argyll & Bute
Scotland,
Royaume-Uni
Spot red deer in the garden and eagles soaring overhead at this remote island retreat. This solid whitewashed farmhouse stands on the only road running along Jura's east coast. Grassy fields and heather-covered hills stretch into the distance, while you can gaze across the Sound of Jura. Inside, glass doors and big windows frame the sublime views and fill the house with light. There's a cosy sitting room with window seats inviting you to look seawards and a fire for nippy nights. You can buy supplies in the Craighouse shop a couple of miles away and cook in the bright, modern kitchen. Cheerful bedrooms are decorated in floral fabrics and overlook the garden or sea; simple bathrooms are stocked with local, malt whiskey-scented soaps! If you crave a dram of the real thing, you can hire bikes and cycle to the Jura distillery for a guided tour and a wee taste. Keen birdwatchers will be in heaven here, with greylag geese, oystercatchers and herons all resident in the surrounding fields. But if you prefer more active pursuits, you can go beachcombing along the coast, or conquer the Paps of Jura…
