Balaclava Croft House
This house has the most outstanding Islay location you could wish for. A large spacious 4 Bedroom bungalow, built in 1985 by Rob & his Dad, Johnnie, is positioned high up on the hill at Balaclava with breathtaking views over much of Islay. From the front giant picture windows you overlook all of Laggan Bay, most of Loch Indaal to the gentle hills of the Rhinns. On a clear night you will see the twinkling lights of Bruichladdich & Port Charlotte villages and the rotating flashing lights of Portnahaven Lighthouse. From the back of the house & the garden you can see all of Port Ellen bay & beyond to the Mull of Kintyre & the stunning Antrim Coastline of Northern Ireland.
