Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Islay

Great 3 nights at the Black House. Amazing view from the comfortable sofas in the sitting room across Loch Indaal. House is lovely with plenty of space and a well equipped kitchen. Great location to explore the island and the distilleries. Claire was very quick to reply with any questions we had.

We had four fantastic days on Islay. Rona’s house is lovely and I’d recommend it to anyone. Thanks so much for making our stay so memorable

we had fantastic time at Kintour School House loved the place from top to bottom the house and gardens were better than we could have imagined the open country side with all of the farm and wild animals around us all in all a great place and would thoroughly recommend the property peter April 27 2025

The house was stunning, very well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. It was a very lovely and comfortable base with everything we needed.

We could not stay at the cottage for health and safety reasons, however the customer care provide by Paul was impeccable. He assisted us so well in order to relocate us to another accommodation. He was prompt, polite and very accommodating. We will definitely go back to the area and hopefully enjoy Paul’s cottage. Despite the event, I would hugely recommend Paul as he ensured our holiday was not spoilt but wonderful. Thank you.

A great place - really beautiful and peaceful setting, right on the beach and with the sounds of the waves lapping on the pier. We didn't use every room (family of 5) but still felt it was great value for money - lots of space, and really well thought through. There were little things ready (laundry pods, dishwasher tabs) that really take any stress away! She even got a new telescope for us to use after I mentioned in a message that my Dad was keen on astronomy and we'd booked as we'd seen one in the pictures! How kind!! Definitely recommended!

Lovely and peaceful stay. Well situated. Comprehensive list of local taxis and eateries provided which was really handy.

Beautiful quiet setting and base to explore the area. We loved exploring by kayak and being greeted by seals every morning. Simon’s place was super comfortable, clean and well equipped. We’d love to return.

We had the best time staying with Una and Stewart in the loft. The apartment was so well located for walking to and from the west lighthouse (around 40-45 mins walk), set in beautiful surrounds of sheer peace, listening to the snipe chattering in the darkness at night. The space is fantastic, warm and cosy, and was even more spacious than we realised. Stewart and Una were always really quick to respond, and were so kind to also lend us their bikes as we couldn’t fit ours in our car with all of our luggage. Stewart picked us up and dropped us off from the harbour too so we didn’t have to walk to the house with all of our things. I would thoroughly recommend booking, and look forward to returning. (I also loved having the opportunity to watch a DVD of the French classic ‘Jean de Florette’ which was in the apartment, and I hadn’t seen in years 😄)

14:07 Michelle was very accommodating thanks again

This is the second time I have stayed here. It is in a very central position on the harbour front with great views and plenty of free parking.

Clean, tidy and spacious apartment located in the city center. Lea is a great host - very flexible and helpful, I would definitely recommend staying with her! Thank you for the pleasant stay, we will be back!

We throughly enjoyed our stay in the flat! The building is lovely with a beautiful view at the back. The location was ideal and centrally located for travelling all around the island.

Although my stay was for work, it's made more palatable with great accomodation. Comfortable, quiet, warm, clean, well equipped & a great location to tour Islay. Comfy bed & well equipped kitchen. Outside parking is great ( tho the universal law for parking wherever you want during school times never ceases to anaze me as people parked left, right & indeed centre (right in front of the step's to the apartment)) My only minor point would be the TV is rather small & antiquated, especially for the size of the living room. The TV remote was a tad temperamental. The host is superb & I wouldn't think twice about booking again. Highly recommended!

Fantastic accommodation. Definitely first class! Very comfortable beds and so peacefully quiet. Each room very tastefully decorated and a real sense of space. Great location within walking distance to centre of Campbeltown. Lovely extra touch of bread, milk, butter, eggs etc provided. Would highly recommend this place to stay.

Lovely accommodation with everything we needed. Would thoroughly recommend and would not hesitate to book again next time we are on Islay

Great spacious apartment in a good location in Campbelltown.

Attractive peaceful location which is close to Campbeltown. Looks like it has been recently refurbished to a high standard. Recommended.

Mary's place was in a great location and exactly as described. Unit provided a very comfortable stay with plenty of parking in close proximity. I would not hesitate to stay here again for golfing or exploring Campbeltown and the surrounding areas.

Great little place if you're stopping by for a visit. A MASSIVE plus for having an iron and an ironing board. (It enrages me when places don't have one haha!)

Gordon’s property is ideally located in the village of Kilmartin with just a short stroll to the local Kilmartin hotel and Kilmartin museum and cafe. It’s in a lovely, peaceful location away from the main road, but also within easy reach of the main road. The property itself has been thoughtfully renovated with quality furnishings and is modern and tastefully decorated. It has all the amenities you could ask for and is spotlessly clean. We were a group of six female friends and there was ample space for relaxing, cooking, eating and sleeping and having three bathrooms was an added bonus. I would highly recommend this property.

What a fabulous place this is. A beautiful house situated on the far side of the small marina in Tayvallich. Quiet, peaceful and easily accessible to the most beautiful woodlands, with wildlife, birds, walks and stunning views. Helen and Mark were most welcoming and happy to help and advise on the surrounding areas. I could easily live here!! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We stayed here to use as a base to explore Kintyre. It was on a small farm a few miles south of Tarbert and Kennacraig where the ferry to Islay and Jura leaves from. Further south was where the ferry to Gigha leaves. Our main plan was to visit Gigha. The self catering accommodation was very comfortable and stylishly decorated. Just remember you’ll be staying on a small farm so be prepared to be wakened by bird song and a little later the cockerel 😂 We have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation. The hosts also have part of the farmhouse as a B&B.

Great stay in Kevin’s Flat. Perfect location with a short walk into the town and local amenities. Flat is spotlessly clean with everything you need for your stay. As regular visitors to Campbeltown we will definitely book again.
