Response from the owner Hi Sam thanks so much for the review of Highfield. It is great to hear that you fell in love with Colonsay, just the same as we did after our first holiday there in the 1970's....and not too much has changed on the island since! We hope to see you at Highfield again soon. Thanks again Nick & Lynne

“Exceptionally comfortable family holiday home on a stunning island.”
Great family holiday home. Spacious, light, airy , well equipped with stunning views. The house was spotless and comfortable and well equipped with toys, games, books, dvd's etc for a range of young kids; dog friendly (without conditions or additional charges, which is a pleasant change!) Beautiful island, stunning beaches, great pub....perfect holiday.

“One of the best self catering houses we have stayed in”
Highfield was exactly what we were looking for - peaceful, comfortable, and well located. There were only two of us so we only used the upstairs areas, but the house is perfect for larger groups. Every evening we could watch the sunset over the sea from the living room. In terms of mod cons, Highfield was very well equipped, with good heating, good size fridge and freezer and laundry facilities. The fact that the house was dog friendly was the most important factor for us, and the enclosed garden was a bonus. We would definitely stay here again.
