Please note you can purchase logs from the owner for £6.00 per basket. Please note: the maximum occupancy for the property is 2 adults only.
Region: From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain’s best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.
Town: Lismore is a beautiful and remote island lying off the coast of Oban in the Scottish Inner Hebrides, with a name thought to come from the Gaelic 'Lios Mòr' meaning "great garden", it is an idyllic setting no matter where you find yourself on the 2,351 hectares of land. Lismore's history can be found throughout the island by visiting the numerous ruined structures from a 6th century monastery to two 13th century castles. The island becoming successful in lime quarrying in the 19th century with around 1000 inhabitants on Lismore, before seeing a steady decline with today's residents totalling around just 200 with a third recorded as Gaelic-speaking in 2001. Although remote and only reachable via ferry, Lismore offers everything you need for a self-catered stay so you never have to leave the shore unless out adventuring, with a local well-stocked community-owned store to serve guests and a lovely café, The
Isle of Lismore Café, offering delicious food and drink and serving evening meals in summer. Discover plenty to see and do here with this area popular with artists and photographers for the stunning landscapes and views to Ben Nevis, Glencoe range and the peaks of Cruachan, as well as wildlife spotting with many seabirds in the area. Enjoy walks across the island, cycling adventures and watersports on the coast with kayaking and wild swimming popular. A foot passenger ferry leaves from the north end of the island over to Port Appin and the car ferry sails between Achnacroish and Oban, connecting you to the mainland and more opportunities for adventure. Experience the natural beauty of Scotland on the Isle of Lismore.
