Forming a significant proportion of a traditional Croft house on Iona, set on a 30+ acre working croft on the beautiful Island of Iona, Machair is a unique opportunity to take advantage of the peace, tranquility and beauty on offer. This 3 bedroom house is well suited for family holidays or a romantic getaway, whatever your needs. The house is warm, welcoming & freshly decorated and sleeps up to 7 people. The front porch is the perfect place to watch the world go by and the bedrooms are comfortable and inviting. A Smart TV and free-wifi is available. Up to two pets are welcome. No cars are available on the Island, Iona taxi is available for collection and drop off to Machair.
Iona is a welcoming community with plenty of attributes. From white sand beaches to the historic Abbey, there is plenty to see & do. Take a trip on a Staffa Tour or a picnic down a the beach, whatever you choose, Iona will leave a lasting impression. Ferries are extremely busy during the summer season, please see the last photo for an alternative route via Lochaline & Corran ferries if Oban ferry is fully booked.
