This is a beautifully situated and appointed cottage in a really beautiful part of Scotland. The house is really roomy whilst still retaining the cosy cottage feel, perfect for two or a group of four. I can't recommend it enough, perhaps my rebooking for 2025 says it all.

It is difficult not to sound over effusive about this cottage. We have stayed in some lovely self catering places, some more than once. But Bailebeg sets a whole new standard. From the beds to the smallest kitchen utensil everything is what you would dream it might be but hardly dare to hope it would be. The setting is glorious, totally private and the night skies a revelation. Self catering country cottages don't come better than this.
