Corncrake Cottage B&B

Corncrake Cottage is a modern family home situated on a working croft on the west coast of Colonsay approximately 3 miles from the ferry terminal at Scalasaig. If you are coming by foot we will be happy to meet you at the ferry.

The croft extends some 300 acres and is excellently situated for golfers, anglers, botanists and ornithologists.

The croft land encompasses the bird cliffs at Pigs Paradise where kittiwake, razorbills, shags and gannets nest in great numbers. A 5-minute walk takes you south to the 18 hole golf course and the beautiful sandy bay at Machrins, Traigh an tobar fhuair, 5 minutes to the north and you will reach Loch Fada where you can fish for native brown trout, or wander up to Archie's cycle hire (500m) and hire a bike to explore the rest of the island, maybe stop for lunch and a pint of Colonsay brewed beer at The Colonsay or have a quick coffee or a dram in The Pantry
