Tirlaggan Studio

All as described.

Perfect spot for a quiet few days to enjoy nature on this peaceful island. There is a cafe within 10 minutes drive. Walking there takes around 40 minutes. You’ll find a post office and a local shop on the way. I recommend checking out Sailean as well as taking the last 3 miles of the route to the lighthouse which can only be done on foot or bicycle. Beautiful views towards the mainland and Corran Bridge.

The Tirlaggan Studio was a great wee place to stay for our two nights on Lismore.

It’s spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The photos don’t do it justice! It has a great deck and a private garden, with bifold doors to take advantage of the view. We’ll definitely stay again the next time we visit Lismore.

A super facility in a special spot, which worked really well while I attended a course on the island.

There were swallows and song thrushes in the garden, a visiting hare and a sea eagle soaring nearby. The bed is super large and comfy. I visited at midsummer and the higher windows and veluxes have no covering, and the main window blinds are not blackout, but I travel with a blackout eye mask and needed it. It was like waking up in a sunbed! Dave the owner was very helpful when my Samsung/Android devices just would not connect to the wifi; he loaned a wifi hub for the week that worked perfectly. With that amount of glass the temperatures do vary - cool in in the morning and quite warm by late afternoon. I was glad I'd packed for both. In the past this building was used as a music studio and its stand-alone nature makes it ideal for practice and creative moments.

We loved the studio - clean comfortable and well equipped - for a tiny space was so well thought out The light flooding in as laid in bed was amazing and watching the birds laid in bed was special The island lay out disappointed me slightly I thought I would be able to easily walk out to beach and views myself but that was not the case.

All in all tho a great experience

This is a great place to stay for a few days with dogs.

You need leads on them at all times. If you love nature it is ideal. There is very biodiverse planting to create ideal environment for insects and birds in the garden. The roads are very quiet and walking on them is not an issue. The bed and seats are very comfortable to just sit and view nature through huge patio windows. You are close to another property so not as isolated as it might look. Description of the property is very accurate. One thing is that they imply there is no oven but the microwave is a combination oven so normal oven foods are OK to bring with you. We loved it . Thank you for our 3 night stay.

Tirlaggan Studio had everything we needed and had a very comfortable bed.

It is in a handy central location, only about 1km from the car ferry pier. We rarely used our car as Tirlaggan proved to be a good base for several walks to both sides of the island. The owners were very helpful too.

What a great place to stay on Lismore.

The studio suited me perfectly for a week while on a fiddle retreat. Well equipped and comfortable (particularly the bed!) with a fabulous view out back.

Excellent en tout points.

Idéalement situé pour visiter l'île à pied. Lit confortable et cuisine équipée. La terrasse et la vue depuis le cottage est appréciable. Je recommande vivement. Tout s'est déroulé facilement.

Fantastic island and very bright, cosy studio with a big garden.

Ideal place for holiday with dogs.

We loved every moment of our time at Tirlaggan Studio and on the Island with its amazing community, especially Dave who got us through Storm Amy with his tireless thoughtfulness and care.

We will be back!

Tirlaggan Studio is beautifully finished and very well equipped.

We really appreciated the high quality of the fittings and attention to detail- they had thought of everything. Ideally situated, there are very few cars on the roads so walking from the house is safe and easy. The studio has lovely views to the distant hills of Appin with cows and sheep in the fields nearby. Although there a couple of neighbouring lodges, it’s well situated and feels very private. Highly recommended.

The property was spotless, lovely and clean.

It had everything required. Easy to find from the ferry jetty.

What an amazing wee studio.

They seem to have thought of everything! Bedding, towels, tea, coffee, sugar etc, hairdryer, hand soap in bathroom and at the sink, washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs and a kitchen pack with tea towel, hand towel, cloth and sponge. There is a rechargeable hoover and dustpan and brush to allow you to keep the place clean and tidy. There is adequate storage in the form of a wardrobe with drawers and a separate chest of drawers. And a starter pack of logs for the log burner, although we don’t use this as it was really warm during our visit. The owner popped in on our first evening to check we had everything we needed. The WiFi wasn’t working so he went away and brought back a temporary little wifi box to allow us to maintain a signal until the main box was fixed. The island itself is great for walking and cycling, your dogs can roam freely in the fences in garden space but must be on a lead when you venture round the island as there is a lot of livestock which is freely wandering in places. We particularly enjoyed the wee beach area at Port Ramsay where the dogs were able to have a swim and a free play on the beach. at low tide you can walk over to a little island area too. The only downside for us was that there was a power cut during our stay which meant we had no water for a few hours as it’s pumped in so needs power. This was a bit concerning as it was so hot and both we and our dogs weren’t able to replenish our water supply or flush the toilet more than once. If I was going again I’d take some bottled water just incase. All in all a lovely stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely wee studio, very clean and well maintained, superb design and layout meant that we had everything we needed, lovely wild garden area with lots of birds and insects to sit and watch, this was our first visit to Lismore, would recommend a visit to the salean project area, it's beautiful and very interesting, a real gem of a place and the owners have a great ethos towards the lands and farming, also found the world's best chutney on Lismore, we'll definitely be back

Amazing Spot on a Beautiful Island !

The heatwave made it feel like holiday abroad. Very friendly owner - he came to greet us and came to help with the TV. He gave us tips of seeing the best places on the island including seals. Beautiful studio! We will be back to our lonely island

The property is beautifully furnished, contemporary design is very aesthetically pleasing.

All mod cons make for easy self catering. View from main window truly stunning of mountain range. Couldn't figure out how to open patio doors so only opened one. Bed extremely comfortable and supportive, I slept peacefully and long most nights. No noise outside to disturb. A truly tranquil beautiful setting. Garden a bit scruffy but if you had a dog probably be in its element! Didn't bother me, I love Scotland rough tundra, gauze, etc great view of sea Eagle mid week! Not far from cafe or shop, both highly recommended. Plenty of storage, EV charger a bonus, parking, good shower and bathroom. Shame can't close blinds in ceiling windows or above patio windows. Had a superb time, only a week but felt like a month! Wonderful!

We loved our week at Tirlaggan Studio.

Very comfortable studio, lovely bird song in the garden and great views. Beautifully peaceful which was really important to us. The studio is very close to another holiday let so peace and quiet could be dependent on the neighbours. At present the studio can be overlooked from the other holiday let if they were in certain parts of the garden. We have fed this back to the owner ( who was lovely and very helpful). We felt it just required a bit of screening. Thanks for a great week

A wonderful, wonderful property.

I was so pleased when I walked in the first time to see how pleasantly presented the place was. The bed is best described as 'sumptuous' - not too hard nor too soft. It was nice to be able to push open the whole of the glass front of the studio in the sunshine. Its worth pointing out that the microwave is a combination one - you can cook a pizza in it. Lismore island is a beautiful place to explore for a few days and Tirlaggan is ideally placed in the middle of it. If you need the shop its the post office. Go up to the 'main' road on the island and turn right for about 3/4 mile.

We had a fantastic stay at Tirlaggan Studio and would definitely be back!

The bed was extremely comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and the location was incredible. We were a little surprised by how close the property was to Tirlaggan House, but it didn’t pose an issue as our neighbours were quiet and friendly. Our only complaint would be that the bath and hand towels were shedding fluff absolutely everywhere, so we had to use our beach towel. Lismore is beautiful and definitely worth a visit, everyone we met was so friendly and helpful. In spring the island is covered in wild flowers, and we were surrounded by gorgeous lambs and baby highland cows. We have been singing Lismore’s praises to our friends and family, and have recommended Tirlaggan to all of them.

A beautiful studio apartment with everything we needed.

We got lucky with a week of wall to wall sunshine on Lismore, and the studio was the perfect place to explore from, appreciated the dog proof garden especially at lambing time! Would highly recommend, mòran taing!
