Lovely place, with a spectacular view of the sea. The wildlife was a plus to watch. The place was clean and cozy.

Loved our stay at the spy house. Amazing views and wildlife.

The Spy House is set high on a hill overlooking Kilnaughton Bay and Port Ellen so it has fabulous views. It is just outside Port Ellen which has a small Coop and a great restaurant - Sea Salt - which you need to book for but it is definitely worth a visit. We only ate out on one night because it was so peaceful at The Spy House and we wanted to take in the view hoping to see dolphins or seals in the bay or a golden eagle flying overhead. No luck with either but Oa RSPB reserve is only minutes away and we did see a golden eagle and a pair of choughs so that ticked a couple of boxes. For a private and peaceful holiday cottage you won't find anything that delivers like the Spy House.

Pros: very secluded cottage on top of a hill with a beautiful view of Kilnaughton Bay and Port Ellen. The host is very responsive and the owner is probably THE nicest person I've ever met. Cons: some bugs inside including mosquitoes, spiders, and snails or slugs (trails of slime on rug as well as my jeans that I left hanging over a chair). Bedsheets had a slight smell. Far from town IF you don't have proper transportation--if you decide to stay here, you NEED a car or taxi to get around. The cottage is about an hour's walk from the nearest town (Port Ellen) and there are only a limited number of car hire/taxi businesses that book out very quickly. Be sure to book the transportation first to make sure it's available! When I arrived there were no cars so my only option was to rent a bicycle, but the cottage is up on a VERY steep hill and I ended up getting badly injured trying to ride the bike into town. (Don't let this deter you from staying, just make sure you get a car first!) :-)

This house truly felt like you were a part of the island. Quick drive to town but nestled on top of the hill with the most stunning views. We sat at the table every morning and watched the ferry boat and sunrise.
