Beautiful 10 person modern bungalow in Bruichladdich with stunning views

This beautiful bungalow in Bruichladdich is situated directly beside
Loch Indaal with stunning views to Bowmore and its
famous distillery, The Oa and the Paps of Jura.

The bungalow, called Failte, Gaelic for Welcome, has recently been
extensively refurbished and modernised to create a stunning 5 bedroom
property. As the house is a bungalow all rooms are easily accessible.
The house has been upgraded to a high standard to create a bright and
welcoming place to stay.

There are 5 bedrooms - 3 bedrooms have superking-sized zip link beds
which can be unzipped to create 6 single beds. The other 2 rooms are
twin rooms so in total the house sleeps 10. We ask that visitors advise
how many beds they require when booking so we can arrange the rooms
accordingly!

There are 2 shower rooms with electric power showers (one is an en-suite
off the rear bedroom) and there is also a separate WC.

The kitchen is of a good size and is well equipped with everything you
would expect - fridge, oven and hob, microwave, cooking utensils, pots, bowls, crockery etc. There is also a
breakfasting area suitable for a couple of people to sit at and eat or
chat with the chef while in the kitchen. There is a separate
Utility room with sink, washing machine and freezer.

The living room is a large space with 3 sofas that can easily seat 10/11
people and has amazing views over the loch. It has a large TV with Freeview box.
The property has WiFi throughout, with a 60Mb download speed.

The dining room is in the conservatory next to the
living room to the rear of the property and has a very large table that
can accommodate 10 people easily for large gatherings.

The house has central heating throughout which is controlled via a time clock.

The bungalow has a fully enclosed garden - walled to the front and side
with fencing enclosing the rest. There is a gate across the drive which can be closed
to ensure the safety of any children playing in the garden.

There is a parking area and a long driveway which can
accommodate 4 or more cars.

The garage can be used for storing bikes, wetsuits, surfboards or just muddy boots during your stay.

There is a patio area to the rear of the conservatory with a table and
chairs which can be used as an additional entertaining or relaxing
area.

Check in time is 3pm on the day of arrival and check out time is 10am on the day of departure.

The bungalow is located in the middle of Bruichladdich and is approx 3
minutes walk to the distillery where you can sample various whiskys,
Botanist gin made in the distillery and also take tours of the
distillery or partake in the cocktail making classes. They also have a
lovely gift shop stocked with a seating area where you can sit and sample the
produce!

There is also a small mini market and cafe just along
from the house which serves the best bacon rolls on the island,
sandwiches and lovely Italian coffee, teas
and soft drinks. So if you fancy breakfast or lunch or maybe just a
coffee and a cake then we'd recommend a visit to the Mini Market. The
carrot cake is fantastic!

Opposite the house is the loch and as it is relatively shallow it
is possible to paddle and swim. Further into Bruichladdich there is a
pier from which you can fish or perhaps try your hand at
crabbing.

Approx 2 miles away is Port Charlotte where you will find various
restaurants serving fresh seafood and locally sourced oysters amongst
other things. The bars and pubs are always full of very friendly locals
and visitors always willing to have a chat. There is The Port Charlotte
hotel which offers accommodation, food and live music at various times
of the year. There is also Yan's Kitchen and the Lochindaal pub both
offering excellent food. Just outside Port Charlotte is Port Mor, a
campsite with onsite restaurant open to the public. This is a nice
place to visit with children as there is an outside play park for the
children to enjoy.

If you are a lover of Whisky then Islay is definitely the place to
visit. Currently there are 8 distilleries on the Island with the 9th
currently being built. Ardnahoe should be finished and ready for
visitors in late May, just in time for Islay's Whisky Festival - Feis Ile
which is usually held over 9 days. Each distillery has an open day
where you can sample each whisky and enjoy some music and food.

There are various other celebrations and experiences on Islay which make
it a great place to visit. There is walking week, jazz festival, beach
rugby tournament, Islay Half Marathon, Ride of the Falling rain 100m
mile bike ride, the Islay Show and much more. Islay is a beautiful place
to visit and has a lot of wildlife right on your door step.

Finally please don’t forget the Islay Wave! If you are a driver it is
customary to acknowledge other cars on the road with a wave of your
hand. It's a friendly thing to do and makes you feel part of Islay life.

For a comprehensive guide to Islay we recommend a visit to

We hope you have a fantastic stay in Islay.

Great Location
House was as stated. Spacious hallway, 4 very decent bedrooms and one smaller twin room that would suit smaller children. All beds were excellent, very comfortable. Large dining table in the sun room off the large comfy living room with amazing picture window view over the beach and Loch Indaal. Location was amazing as we just had to cross the road (not busy) to get to the beach. We used the area everyday to paddleboard and climb the rocks. When we were done the boards stored in the garage along with our bicycles. Morning coffee on the front porch, kids playing on the lawn or on the beach. We had a great family holiday. Thank you Claire.

New Year in Islay
We had a fantastic trip to Islay for New Year. Failte house was great and Claire was very helpful. The house was ideal for us, it had everything we needed and has beautiful views. The location is right in Bruichladdich, minutes walking distance from the distillery and a nice coastal walk to Port Charlotte that takes about an hour. I would definitely recommend this house for others to stay in. Few things that would of made it 5* - better showers.. they are not very powerful.

Amazing location
We were a family of 7 people traveling all over Ireland and Scotland and we stayed in many VRBO's and AirBnB along our way - we all said this property was at the top of our list! One day we look forward to coming back and staying again for hopefully a longer time to explore more of Islay from this great location. I truly enjoyed having my morning tea with the sheep on the beach! Thank you again Claire for sharing your property with us!

Islay with friends
We had a wonderful few days on Islay! The House was ideally situated with beautiful views out on to the water and of friendly sheep who walked past every morning. It is within walking distance of the Bruichladdich distillery which is ideal for a cheeky gin & tonic or dram before closing. The rooms were tastefully decorated and the beds very comfy. Communally areas were clean and well equipped. The only thing that could have made our stay easier would have been a dishwasher. Claire was very helpful and gave us lots of tips on places to visit and eat which made our stay on this beautiful island even better.

This house was wonderful. We loved the location and the view was so great. For 4 people it was perfect. We had an issue with heat on arrival but the owner Claire took good care of us and got the problem fixed. The gathering room was wonderful every morning to wake up with the sight of this beautiful island. We brought a portable speaker and streamed music all weekend. We will definitely be back, it was perfect.

Amazing Stay on Islay!
This property is amazing! It had clearly all been redone very recently and is gorgeous inside! 5 bedrooms, 4 very large spacious rooms and a 5th with two singles. Beds were comfy and can be either separated or made into a large king. Bedding was beautiful and cozy. Large living room with space for everyone as well as a huge table to dine at. Kitchen has everything you need and there is a washing machine in the utility room. The best part though was the view... from the front and back! Out the back you have pastures with cows and sheep. The front is a gorgeous view of the ocean and the other side of Islay (Bowmore). The beach is steps away and our kids loved playing in the sand. The location is fabulous. Walking distance to Bruichladdich distillery and a small store. Easy driving to all the other distilleries and towns and no more than 30 mins from both ferry ports. Communication with the owners was fast and effortless. This property is truly beautiful and the owners have paid attention to all the details. Staying here made our stay on Islay truly perfect and relaxing, thank you for a wonderful long weekend!

The house was new inside and was in a fantastic location.
We visited Islay in late August and we easily found the house. It is close to a distillery and a corner store (both within walking distance). The owner was easy to deal with and left clear instructions. We were able to do laundry and then use the dryer in the garage. The wifi was also great as the kids used this for entertainment and I used it to do some work. You are just across the road from a beach and the water and you can see Bowmore across the Loch. We would highly recommend it.

Mucky house - the landlord don't anderstand any
Story for reflection: If we went the first time into the house on Sunday we had to cleaned the floor and opened the windows and doors, the floor dried after a while. The pans are Dirty. One still had broccoli in it, the other was greasy! During our stay there were someone in the house who didn't clean up after work. Remnants of the wall plaster lie on the floor!
