The Black House, Islay

The Black House is a unique property situated between Bruichladdich and Port Charlotte on the island of Islay. We use the house during term time to save commuting from Jura to high school every day so expect a bit of wear and tear. There are 2 double bedrooms (one en-suite) and 2 bunk bedrooms (suitable for kids or teenagers as they’re on the small side). Views from the house are stunning and Islay is an amazing location for a holiday, a whisky tour or just some rest and relaxation.
