  • "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.

  • "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
