Lovely house , which was well equipped , with fantastic wraparound balcony where you could take in the stunning views and watch the family paddle boarding . Cycle hire at the nearby walk on ferry and lovely walks.. Cafe at the visitor centre has lovely food and Lismore is worth a visit . We will certainly visit Strathlorn again.
The house is in an amazing location, right on the water. The view is breathtaking and there is almost no noise apart from the sea and the birds.The islanders are very welcoming and helpful. A beautiful house!
Strathlorn was everything we hoped for and more! Beautifully furnished and with everything you need for a really comfortable stay. The location is amazing with absolutely stunning viewsâŠ.we just loved it!
Fantastic property well appointed nearest we'll get to living in a grand designs house. Beautiful location with fantastic panoramic views and some great coastal or inland walks across the island.peaceful and special place .highly recommended
Outstanding property in a stunning location. Strathlorn is the best equipped holiday home weâve visited, spotless clean and extremely comfortable. Perfect for walking and easy stroll to the Port Appin ferry. The views were breathtaking- cannot praise this wonderful property highly enough and look forward to a return visit
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.
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.
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.
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!
The house corresponds perfectly to the description, very tastefully furnished, the equipment leaves nothing to be desired. The view of the loch is breathtakingly beautiful, we really enjoyed the morning silence and the wildlife. Communication with Marilyn and John was extremely friendly and helpful. Lismore has lovely walks, a great cafe with burgers, soup, sandwiches and cakes, a perfect addition for those who don't always want to use their own kitchen. We had a wonderful time despite the rain and would love to come back. Then we will also try out the fireplace, unfortunately we didn't get round to it. Many thanks, Marilyn and John!
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!
I canât wait to visit again.
If you can, absolutely do!
We were looking for self catering accommodation for 2 people but when we saw this place we decided to indulge ourselves and booked it straight away. The property did not disappoint. It was simply perfect and "that view"!!! Due to the changing tides, and weather, there was always something new to see. Watching the boat traffic was interesting too.
The property would easily accommodate 6 people with en suite facilities to all 3 bedrooms, and plenty of seating in the lounge area and at the dining table.
The foot ferry was less than 10 minutes walk away, and the car ferry only 15 minutes drive. We hired bikes from The Point and paid a couple of visits to the Heritage Centre where the blackcurrant ice cream was the best I've ever tasted. A perfect location for 'getting away from it all'.
No hesitation to recommend, especially if you have an outdoorsy leaning. Spotless, and welcoming. Quiet and with an off grid feel. Views that leave you wondering why you are staring into space for minutes at a time without a single thought in your head. Lots to see and do on the island and taking off on foot every day was one adventure after another. Bring plenty of food because we worked up prodigious appetites every day. No negative thoughts at all.
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.
The location is also unique. This holiday will remain unforgettable.
In short: We can easily recommend this location.
Greetings from Germany!
A fantastic object in a very nice location, The guesthouse and the location is perfect to retreat from stress and hectical jobs. There is space for up to 6 persons, a huge and well equipped kitchen and a livingroom with the most refreshing view for watching tides rushing in and out, ships go by and many species on search for food. If planned well you wouldn't even need a car. The host is giving most valuable information to every request about the house and the surroundings. Mind to book your ferry-trips to and from the island well in advance.
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.
Unsurpassed tranquility, the views and the wildlife. Sit on the glass enclosed deck with magnificent uninterrupted views, and watch the wildlife and passing boats all day long.
