About Ballymeanach Holiday Cottages Islay

Over the years some of the buildings on the croft had, unfortunately, fallen into disrepair and so it was decided to regenerate part of the existing steading (comprising a cottage, smiddy and barn) by the creation of three cottages to be used for self-catering accommodation; two of the new cottages are one-bedroom, and the third (the barn conversion) is a two-bedroom. These properties would suit couples, small families or family groups, looking for a relaxing holiday on an active croft where they can participate in outdoor activities and make the most of the outstanding beauty of the local area.

Portnahaven Hall has become very popular for weddings and our little complex would be a great place for family groups or groups of friends to be able to stay together. The croft is less than a mile from the village of Portnahaven where there is a small shop and hotel- Tigh Siennse where you can enjoy a meal or just a drink and a chat with the locals. It is advisable if wanting a meal to check before to see if food is available.
