Thoughtful & simple decoration, practical furniture, wooden floors, colourful rugs, painted doors & shutters, cotton bed linen, feather pillows and duvets, a well-equipped kitchen and meticulous cleaning, all go to create a relaxing interior that is in keeping with the peaceful landscape outside.

The remoteness of island living encourages a satisfying way of re-using and revitalising - the kitchen shelves were rescued from the farm workshop; the utilitarian dining table was made for a seamstress, but now sports a bright oilcloth top; and an old drawer front, complete with lock, has been reworked to make a windowsill.

Books & magazines to suit all tastes are plentiful, and by popular demand the TV has NOT been connected to a signal (though you can play DVDs). Evenings and wet afternoons are an ideal time to get together over a board game or jigsaw puzzle, or just to sit idly by the fire.

The house sits below the original farm steading looking East, its surrounding walled garden a combination of lawn, flower borders and shingle

After leaving the public road at Kiloran Bay the track takes you on a sedate 2.5 mile journey through the farm hill ground till finally you reach Balnahard, sitting in its green hidden glen.

Tourism ratings have not been chased, as we prefer to set our own style and standards. We hope you will find that these speak for themselves.
