Description from manager

Description

Rockpool Cottage is a family run business on the Isle of Seil, only half an hours drive away from the busy town of Oban. Set within the beautiful conservation village of Ellenabeich, the four star rated cottages sleep 4 people each, one King, and one twin (which can be zip and linked into another King if required). The cottages are furnished and equipped to a high standard and the cosy living room has an open fire for those cold winter days (one bucket of coal provided). After a days walk, why not relax in the spa bath provided.Wifi, dvd's, some books and a few board games are available in the cottages. Parking is available for two cars in each cottage.

Ellenabeich is situated in the most beautiful location with stunning scenery all around. Its a great base for a quiet peaceful holiday, and also for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits from walking, kayaking, sailing, fishing, cycling (hire bikes on Luing and enjoy the beautiful, quiet island) bird watching and photography. There are local walks from within the village and a slate beach to enjoy skimming stones on. The village has a pub/restaurant, small playground, museum and harbour where you can take boat trips out to the Corryvrekan Whirlpool and the surrounding Inner Hebrides. Take the local small ferry to neighbouring car free Easdale Island only a few minutes ferry trip away and treat yourself to a coffee and cake at The Puffer Cafe/Pub and just watch the world go by! .

Seashell Cottage is right next door to Rockpool Cottage and is pretty much iidentical to Rockpool Cottage Cottage. If we are booked try Seashell Cottage for availability

House rules

I generally allow two dogs in the cottage depending on the size of them. However we ask that the owners of our furry friends use the sofa blankets provided if they are likely to jump up, and that the cottage is left in the condition it was found.
The cottage is semi detached and should be mindful of their neighbours. No parties are allowed in the property.

Response from the manager Many thanks for your review. I do appreciate that in November, the local amenities tend to shut down from the end of October as this tends to be the end of the holiday season on the West Coast of Scotland. The local boat trips, (due to weather conditions also close down for the season). Most things open up from Easter onwards for any future booking. Many thanks once again for staying at Tramway Cottages. Kind Regards Annabel
