Edinburgh Holiday Guest House

We werent expecting a separate bathroom (not ensuite) as the listing indicated “private bathroom”. It was a bathroom outside the room but for the sole use of the room’s occupants. It was a homely feel but the rooms were small and not very well ventilated. It would be quite stuffy in the summer. As there are no lifts, bringing our luggages up the stairs were abit of a challenge. The hosts were nice and hospitable and personally cooked breakfast for the guests. Note that there are only 2 parking lots which are rather tight, so for drivers who need parking, have to arrive early.

We had a room on the top floor with 2 beds and the toilet and bathroom were down the hallway. We didn't expect this. At night it was very warm but it was not an option to open the window due to the enourmous traffic noise. The construction of the curtains also surprised us, and again not in good way. The only positive thing was that the center was within walking distance. Luckily it was just for 1 night!

This extremely well appointed holiday home which sleeps 6 in Kilchoan, Ardnamurchan, has views to die for and has everything that you could possibly want for a family holiday. Very child and pet friendly. Kilchoan is the most Westerly Village on the British mainland and is an incredibly special place. Situated on the Sound of Mull, with regular vehicle/passenger ferry service to Tobermory, Mull, it is a little bit of paradise. Good local facilities, with a thriving local shop, hotel and community centre with a delightful cafe and a stone’s through from the Ardnamurchan Lighthouse and unspoilt white, sandy beaches, it’s the place to come and forget your troubles, detox from city life and enjoy the wildlife. Sea Eagles, otters, dolphins, whales, pine martens, red squirrels are all resident and can easily be viewed. The water is chrystal clear and our starlit nights are just stunning. This is a little bit of heaven. Yes, it’s remote and the roads are not for the fainthearted, but it’s more than worth the trouble. An extremely warm welcome from this crofting community awaits.
