Shorefield is owned by an elderly couple who no longer live on Islay.  We look after the house for them and rent it out so it can be enjoyed.  It is not a modern house and there are parts of it that look a bit tired now. If you prefer a more modern house and interior then please think about booking our other house Portbahn.

For all of its 'lived in-ness', the house is a big hit with guests (please read our review) who say it's quaintness and quirkiness is what gives it charm. The owners have left a lot of their books, paintings, maps and antiques for people to enjoy.  There is history and stories in this house, the owners are great bird lovers this is reflected all around and they built the bird reserves behind the house. 

Morning Coffee and a Bacon Roll

Please go see Aileen at the Mini-market in Bruichladdich for a great coffee and rolls and sandwiches, she's open 9am - 6pm.

Deposit Payment

If you are booking a few months into the future or next year, and it would help to split payments please get in touch.

Getting to Islay

If you plan to come by car please make sure you have booked a passage with Calmac from Kennacraig to either, Port Askaig or Port Ellen (both ports are half an hour from the house or thereabouts). We cannot be held responsible and will not give refunds to people who don't book a sailing. Please note that you can not leave it to chance and expect to get a space on a ferry without booking in advance.

It is also important that you have travel insurance. If the ferry does not sail due to bad weather or technical issues we do not give refunds as the decision not to sail is beyond our control. We will help wherever possible with your insurance claim.

RING Doorbell
We have WiFi Ring doorbells in our properties, pointing outward at the driveway. The camera in the doorbell records, is motion-activated & operates 24/7. There are NO cameras inside the property.
