Gigha is 3 hours’ drive from Glasgow, and a 20min ferry. The island is seven miles long, and our house is in the village near the shop and the Gigha Hotel and bar.

The house has a large kitchen-dining room, a living room with a wood burning stove, and study, and a sun room looking out to sea. Upstairs there are three bedrooms - King, Double and Twin all with sea views. There is a large garden with a lawn and bench. The washing machine and dryer are in the garage and also used for the house laundry. There’s a walk-in shower room downstairs and a bath with shower upstairs. We welcome dogs downstairs (where we have wood floors) and there is an outdoor hot and cold tap for muddy paws and boots!

Guests have access to everywhere in the house. Garage is used as the laundry room and will also occasionally be used by staff. If you have bikes or paddle boards you can keep them safely in the garage. Parking for two cars in the driveway.

The Isle of Gigha

Welcome to the community-owned Isle of Gigha, Scotland's best kept secret. The most southerly and one of the most beautiful of the Hebridean Islands, located between the isles of Arran, Jura, Islay and the Kintyre Peninsula. Seven miles long by a mile and a half wide.

You are spoilt for choice when it comes to good food and drink on Gigha. From freshly caught seafood, island farmed halibut and oysters to whole milk ice cream from the Gigha cows. Whether you want to pop in for a coffee, shop for provisions for your next sailing, or relax over an evening meal, Gigha has it!
