Stay on 'the island that roofed the world' - just a 3 minute ferry ride from the mainland, with swimming, walking, wildlife - and no cars or streetlights. Yet a stone's throw from a great pub, shops and museums, and just a 30 minute drive to Oban, the 'gateway to the isles'.

No 64 is a delightful mid-terrace cottage on the unique conservation, car free island of Easdale in the Inner Hebrides of Western Scotland. Formerly one of the Slate Islands ‘that roofed the world’, Easdale Island is situated in the Firth of Lorn Marine Area of Special Conservation and is connected to the mainland by a 3 minute pedestrian-only ferry.

The cottage is finished to a very high standard throughout and, although recently built and having all modern conveniences, it looks like it has stood on this tiny Argyll island for 200 years.

This unspoilt island has a popular bar/restaurant, The Puffer (currently undergoing a change of ownership so please check their website – there is also The Oyster Bar on the mainland), a community hall that hosts a variety of events during the year, together with its own award winning museum dedicated to the history of the Slate Workers.

Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, sea pursuits are popular – sea kayaking, diving, fishing and mooring for your own boat on the island. There are also boat trips available locally to the famous Corryvreckan Whirlpool, Iona, Colonsay and whale watching in the summer months.

What a great place to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. No street lights to keep you awake, no traffic. Listen to the sound of the waves, watch dolphins in the sound and just totally ‘chill out’ or even ‘take a dip’ in the swimming quarry!

This one and a half storey mid-terrace cottage, which sleeps six, was built in 2010 and is finished and decorated to a very high standard, with double glazing, electric central heating, together with under floor heating in the wet room and kitchen/diner, making it very warm and comfortable. There is also an environmentally friendly Solar Panel to help with the hot water. All electricity is included.
