Situated next to the shoreline, Portbahn is a stylish, modern and well insulated house, with open plan living and sweeping sea views across Loch Indaal. The house can accommodate 6 - 8 people comfortably within three bedrooms, all are on the ground floor and include a master bedroom, with a king size bed and a single, with an ensuite shower room, a double room with a single bed, and a twin bedroom. There is also a large family bathroom, and two of the rooms have sea views. The kitchen, lounge, dining and conservatory areas are all open plan with wifi throughout. There is a tv, freesat box, dvds, bluetooth sound system and a large selection of books & games. A log burning stove and underfloor heating throughout makes the winter stays cosy and warm, and there's a large kitchen table to settle around and enjoy good food, chats and the odd glass of wine / dram of whisky! There is a large, private, fenced garden with a sunken trampoline, child's swing set, outside tables and chairs, as well as a BBQ built into the wall next to the deck. There is plenty of parking on a private driveway. Well-behaved dogs are welcome. We have WiFi Ring doorbells in our properties, pointing outward at the driveway. The camera in the doorbell records and is motion-activated, operating 24/7. We can access the camera via Ring app any time. There are NO cameras inside the property.

Portbahn was the family home before we moved to, and built our home on Jura. We have a lovely housekeeper who lives on Islay and although I live on Jura, I am available to come over should you need me. Please get in touch if you need anything or have concerns, we are here to help.

We are situated on the Rhinns of Islay; a short walk from the world renowned Bruichladdich Distillery, home to many quality whiskies, including Octomore & Black Art, as well as their delicious gin, The Botanist. Also in the village, is a little local shop & post office for every day items, that serves a great coffee, and a toastie or bacon sandwich! Port Charlotte is a 40 minute walk, or a 5 minute drive away, and has three good restaurants, including the Lochindaal Seafood Kitchen. The Port Charlotte Hotel has evenings of local music, normally Wednesday & Sunday. Port Mor has a bistro, open during the day, and a children's playground at the campsite. Bowmore has a larger supermarket, the Co-op, and a deli, sufficient for all needs during a longer stay and is a 15 - 20 minute drive from Bruichladdich.
