The Old House, Balure

Nice place all good met the owner was excellent really nice we shall be booking somewhere in the next month with you

Lovely stay in this beautiful cottage.

We thoroughly enjoyed the peace, tranquility and comfort this location provides. Very eager to return for a longer stay.

This cottage is perfect for those seeking peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings.

We had an extremely comfortable stay in the cottage with warmth to welcome us back after walks. There are plenty of beautiful walks from the doorstep. You can reach the heritage centre and shop by walking too! The cottage is of a very high standard in terms of cleanliness and facilities! We will return!!

A beautiful spot on a beautiful island to escape the world.

The house itself is immaculate, cosy and the log burner is gorgeous. We will be back - a real holiday, relaxing and easy.

Excellent accommodation, high standards of comfort and cleanliness, highly recommend the log burner as the best and easiest to use we’ve ever come across in holiday accommodation- make sure you buy logs as it was needed and most welcome especially as we holidayed in February!

We found lots to do, explore and be of interest on the island.

A beautiful, well-equipped holiday home in beautiful surroundings.

The directions for finding the house were accurate and helpful. The cottage was secure, warm and homely. There were plenty of supplies: spare pillows, tea towels, hand soap, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, bin bags, etc. Plenty of pots, pans, oven dishes, cutlery, mugs, etc. The instructions in the property were very helpful. We drove to Sailean and Port Ramsey to walk the dog on the beaches and it was beautiful. We got the foot ferry to Port Appin which was a nice trip for a couple of hours and the car ferry back to Oban for a day out. Otherwise, we walked on the island, enjoyed the view and enjoyed the fire (plenty of logs available). We cooked a full Christmas dinner and had everything we needed. We look forward to staying again. Thank you to the owners for checking in during our stay. We could not have asked for a more relaxing holiday.

Beautiful cottage and beautiful location Very clean and cosy cottage Lovely and helpful owners throughout the stay

The old house was by far the best cottage we have stayed in and the owners were easy to contact if needed.

If you're looking for peace and quite, walks from the door and amazing views this is the place. Lismore is a beautiful island for walking without all the crowds.

A perfect bolthole for 2 in wonderful surroundings.

We were very impressed with the high spec renovation and spaciousness of the cottage. Particularly loved the floor to ceiling windows in the lounge to watch the changing scenery and birdlife. It was great to have bike storage, as we did not use the car on the island - either walking or cycling everywhere.

This is a lovely cottage beautifully decorated throughout to a high standard Every aspect of comfort has been carefully provided.

We were fortunate to have good weather and at night the dark sky showed the stars clearly,an added bonus.It was lovely meeting the owner and finding out about the area. It is in a remote area but this is to be expected in Lismore.

Lovely well equipped cottage with view of broch.

Great centre for cycling to discover the whole island. Owners very helpful and approachable dealing with enquiries we had.

We had a wonderful stay on the Isle of Lismore—such a peaceful and scenic place.

The cottage was cozy, spotless, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing break. We especially loved waking up to the stunning views each morning. The location was perfect for exploring the island on foot or by bike, and it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The owners were fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. They gave us space to enjoy our stay but were there if we needed anything, which made us feel really looked after. We would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in one of Scotland’s hidden gems.

I would highly recommend staying here to anyone, clean, comfortable with everything you could want or need for your trip to this small and quaint island.

A perfect base for anyone who wants to see the beauty of Lismore.
