A Luxurious Island House

Set on a gentle slope above the bay of Port Ellen, Cairnmore House is an exclusive seven-bedroom house on the southern edge of the wild and untamed Isle of Islay. Built in 1865, it has been reimagined into a place of rare comfort, character and calm, to be a deeply private sanctuary—where sea, sky and silence shape the rhythm of each day.

Surrounded by ancient trees and long grasses, with a sweeping sandy beach at its doorstep, the house feels quietly removed from the world. Privacy here is instinctive, views are uninterrupted, and the Atlantic light becomes part of daily life.
