The house has everything and more, clean and extremely comfortable. Lighting the fire on a grey morning was perfect as was sitting out on the deck with your morning coffee watching the ferries go about their daily business. Our hosts were so attentive, providing excellent communication from booking to checking out. It was the most wonderful stay.

Hard to beat this for position and facilities. Ideal for my wife who has restricted mobility and could enjoy the panoramic view of the surroundings. For some people Lismore may be restricted but the quietness and walking are ideal for me and my daughters.For once a cottage with pictures we could enjoy rather than those that seem to come from a 50p job lot at an auction! When I first saw those of Collioure the image rang a bell in my mind. I remembered that some years ago we stayed in Port Vendres and visited Collioure and of course have a picture of the tower and one of the unique fishing boats. Not so sure about the Mackintosh picture of Port Vendres. He of course was interested in the architecture but misses the real vibrancy of the place,(The tyre problem was simply because they assumed the breakdown cover would not include Lismore. However when they were persuaded to try found the company could not have been more helpful and it was all sorted on the Monday.)Thank youPaul Oates

Fantastic trip to Lismore.

We had a wonderful trip to Lismore made all the more special by the wonderful house. What a view! Enjoyed a couple of day trips to Oban on the car ferry to sightsee on the mainland but also enjoyed using the foot ferry for meals at the Pier House at Port Appin. Absolutely stunning location and we will definitely return.

Excellent Tranquil Accommodation

The accommodation was to a high standard and very comfortable with stunning views. Lismore is a wonderful, tranquil island, rich in wildlife and beautiful scenery. Otters and seals spotted daily from the accommodation. Mother otter and pup seen at Point and Port Ramsay during the day. Loved watching the nesting birds and geese with small goslings. Hope to be back.

It was wonderful to return to the beautiful island of Lismore with our our grown-up children after 15 years. Although there are more visits to the island, you never feel you’re using share the place as it is so peaceful.The house has a sterling location looking out over the bay towards Appin. There has been so much attention to detail in the property that it lacked nothing. For those who struggle with a firmer mattress, I would observe that the beds are on the firm side.

This holiday home is excellently equipped. Based on the detailed information we received in advance, we were able to prepare so that the vacation could begin from the very first second.

Beautiful property and location

Very high spec property with everything you could possibly need and more ! Enclosed garden and direct access to beach. Lismore is a beautiful island but some areas best explored on foot or bicycle as parking limited.Dogs must be kept on leads due to Sherpa and ground nesting birds. Lots of walks, wonderful cafe and heritage centre and the fun of the foot ferry over to port appin. If you like sea gazing and swimming and walking you will never be bored here.

Perfect in every way!

Strathlorne is a magical place to stay. The views are spectacular; boats, weather and wildlife ensure that something is happening all the time. We were 'glued' to the huge picture windows with binoculars at the ready! The house itself is unlike any holiday home we've been in, it truly feels like a home from home. Everything is tastefully done and we're already planning our next trip!! Thank you so much.

Beautiful property in a stunning location

We absolutely loved our stay at Strathlorn. The house is very well equipped, comfortable and warm, and the views are amazing. It's wonderful to be so close to the water. Lismore is a lovely little island, the locals are so friendly and the Pierhouse bar and restaurant in Port Appin is superb - it's just a 10 minute stroll to the ferry from the house and a short hop across the water and you're delivered right in front of it. The owners of Strathlorn are friendly and helpful too, great communication and told us everything we needed. We hope to be back as soon as possible!

Absolutely perfect in every way!

This was a real home from home with everything you could possibly need. But with the added benefit of stunning views from most of the windows, it was really breathtaking to come through in the morning to such a panorama of mountains, sea and sky. The perfect get away from hectic work lives in the town. My husband hired a bike locally and rode every road and track there was! He loved it. Very little traffic so very safe. I could not recommend this property highly enough if you are looking for the perfect peaceful get away from it all.

A fantastic property with amazing views! As a lot of the other reviews mention, this a lovely property that is very well furnished and has everything you could possibly need. We wondered if the house would be cold and whether the WiFi would be ok. The house was lovely and warm and the WiFi is better and faster than I get in Cardiff! The location is stunning. The views are breathtaking, the people are friendly and silence is golden! I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this beautiful property for some time getting way from it all!
