Tirlaggan House

We had a lovely time at Tirlaggan.

The house was big enough for us and the garden was great for our dog. We would love to come back!

We loved our stay on the island, the island itself was just what we were looking for in an active break away from it all.

We were not as impressed as we thought we would be with the house unfortunately. The positives were well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and great views (if you look forwards). It wasn’t clear on the listing that the property was enclosed by two other holiday rentals with zero privacy. The garden wasn’t really fit for purpose either with large holes and lots of weeds. The sofas and chair were very uncomfortable and tired. It has the bones of being a very good holiday let. But the privacy issues need addressing or made more transparent on the listing for the property.

We had a fantastic time on Lismore.

The house was comfortable and had great views. Having a cup of coffee in the morning with the windows all open was special even in the rain. The house sits next to a small road but it is very quiet, with only few cars passing. To sum it up our stay was relaxing and peaceful close to nature.

An absolutely beautiful and unique holiday home.

The weather was fantastic so we were able to take advantage of the bi fold doors. Moved from front to back following the sun and having a total relaxing break away. The Heritage Centre and cafe never disappoints and a trip on the foot ferry to the Pierhead for lunch was a must . The wild meadow at the back of the house attracted lots of butterflies and birds and made the perfect place to sit and read , sip a cool drink and just breathe. Bliss.

The property is not located in Oban itself, but on an island nearby, which may be worth noting in advance.

Other than the inconvenience and additional travel, the cottage was wonderful and the Lismore locals were amazing.

We had a fantastic stay in a beautiful small island.

If you are looking for a quiet holiday away from it all then look no further. Plenty of walks and cycle hire if you prefer. The cafe is a must - we went everyday - the local people are very friendly and our small dog was made to feel welcome

Loved this property, amazing views, and great walks from the property.

Helpful friendly host.. Enjoyed exploring this lovely island.

We loved our stay at Tirlaggan House.

It was cosy, relaxing, and had everything we needed. The house was clean and everything was easy to find. Because it’s so well insulated, we didn’t need to put the log fire on, although we did light it one evening just to try it and found it easy to use. The views are stunning, so even on a rainy day we enjoyed relaxing and watching the clouds go by. The owner was very helpful, and the EV charger was a definite plus. Look out for the hares in the field opposite. One thing to note is that it’s important to follow the written directions provided for the property, rather than relying purely on map navigation, to ensure you arrive at the correct location.

Lovely property.

Everything you could need. Beautiful location, lovely furnishings and super cosy and warm. We got stuck on Lismore and the owners were wonderfully accommodating.

The location of the property is ideal.

Lismore is a fantastic island and Tirlaggan House located in the middle of it, so you can explore north or south of the island with ease. The view of this cottage is absolutely out of this world, together with the changing Scottish weather, the views never stop amaze us! Dave is an attentive host and the cottage is so well thought out to suit the island life that you just know there's a lots thought had put into preparing it. Thanks!

What a lovely place to stay on the Isle of Lismore.

This was the ultimate location to relax and calm down after the very hectic start of our holiday and the busy city of Oban. We love the island and we really enjoyed the house and his owner Dave. Very warm and helpful in everything we asked.

Great property and nice and quiet.

Just a wonderful stay at Tirlaggan House and would gladly return

Lovely and extremely comfortable accommodation with a stunning view, very close to the ferry terminal.

I would stay in any of the 3 accommodations on offer as they all have a unique outlook. Dog friendly Very quiet surroundings with only the spells of birdsong, sheep, cows and horses to be heard. Dark skies location so great for checking out the night sky. Owner very helpful and also the owner of the Sailean Project so don't go home without placing and picking up a meat order.

our carers enjoyed their stay, I would just feedback that the two single beds in the twin room are very small, really only suitable for children if sharing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, was a beautiful setting, the weather was fabulous which made it even more special, would highly recommended, the house was very well equipped and comfortable.

Extremely comfortable accomodation.

Island very quiet and peaceful. Lovely views from lounge windows. Local heritage centre serves delicious food. Foot ferry to Port Appin well worth a trip out to lunch at the Pierhouse hotel.

Idealic stay with fab views throughout the windowed walls.

Cottage was in a good location with all modern facilities.

Only issues where that chair in lounge didn't work and therefore limited seating. Bed frame was unconscious ended up with bruises. Could have done with more games ie pack of cards for rainy weather. Problem with neighbour dog who kept coming into our garden. Neighbour also noisy had to clear up their dog poo as well. But overall had a lovely stay only minor issues above.

A lovely holiday stay in a very comfortable property.

Would highly recommend.

Tirlaggan House is a lovely property on Lismore centrally located in a quiet location with its own private garden and raised patio area south east facing with great views looking out towards the Lorne hills.

There is a twice daily car ferry service from Oban. The house is finished and furnished to a high standard and has everything visitors require for a stay here and a bonus log stove. We had a couple of small problems which were immediately addressed to our satisfaction by attentive owners Dave and Alison. I have no hesitation in recommending this property to others. Lismore is a very laid back island and pace of life here is perfect for a relaxed visit. There is a Community owned reasonably stocked shop and the Sailean Project to access the island’s grass fed beef, lamb and field poultry which can be delivered to Tirlaggan pre arrival. Given our visit was in February the Heritage Centre and cafe are closed over the winter months. Icing on the cake is the availability of the islands passenger ferry to Port Appin which opens up opportunities to eat out and go further afield by foot or bicycle.

A wonderful trip on a beautiful island with nothing but peace and tranquility.

The view from the master bedroom will stay with me for life :) Highly recommended

Seating requiring some updating.

The house perfect for a couple. Concerns about proximity to the Studio unless with other members of family. Water temperature a problem when we visited required to use the boost facility. Felt we should have been informed regarding work going on in the Studio as the main bedroom very visible. It did not detract from our enjoyment of our time on this delightful friendly island with great history and walks. A heads up would have been a polite gesture to us about the work in progress. Maybe an email from Sykes or possibly to be told by the group of people who arrived one evening to view the studio when we were sitting out on the patio enjoying the peace and stillness of this getaway from it all place.

A very welcoming and comfortable stay, excellent wee place with everything we were looking for.

... Highly recommendable.

A fabulous place to stay, esp

The house is lovely and it has everything you need ton it.

The island too is beautiful.

Absolutely stunning,first time visiting lismore and tirlaggan house put the cherry on top.

If your looking for pease and quiet, stunning views and walks, plus plenty of history about this is the place for you. One shop in the heart of the island was well stocked. Ten minute passenger ferry to port appin,which you don't have to book or the 1hr car ferry to Oban, remember to book your ferry for Oban as it only has a limited number of car spaces. Tirlaggan house is a modern ground floor property with a really big garden and off road parking. There are two other properties adjacent to each other with their own gardens. We took our dog with us, this is a working farming island so your dog has to be on the leash as there are sheep and other livestock everywhere on the island. We did find a secure field which we could let our dog off his leash for his runabouts, which he loved. Just ask the farmers when they pass by if there are any secure fields available, everyone is friendly and accommodating and will help you whenever they can. Will I be back again to tirlaggan house .....You bet I will
