Introducing our new global ambassador - Stirling-based celebrity cocker spaniel Skipper MacKinnon. On day one of his first visit to Islay he enjoyed a paddle at Carraig Fhada and reviewed the look-out opportunities in the main house before a photo shoot with Luna the labrador for Classic Gun Dog magazine 😀🐕‍🦺🐾

Pets are welcome in both our beachfront cottages at Kilnaughton Bay near Port Ellen on the Isle of Islay. Still have some availability in March and April. Enquiries: Angus MacKinnon on 07871084808 or find our website by googling Islay Beach Cottage.

The Islay Beach Cottage rule of thumb is that, if you're watching the ferry come in and still in your pyjamas, you know you've slept in. It's easily done when you can hear the sound of the waves on a pocket-sprung mattress!
