Come and stay on your very own Inner Hebridean Island Torsa, in the only house on the island, the Farmhouse. Get to experience the peace, tranquillity all by yourselves as you get the whole island all to yourself... well except for a few sheep and Luing cattle and an abundance of wild life. Enjoy panoramic views of the sheltered bays of the surrounding islands, across to the mountains and mystical lochs of Argyllshire.
The house is spacious and well equipped, access is via a small motorboat from Ardinamir Bay on Luing. The walled garden is good for dogs, the house can sleeps up to six, the whole family can enjoy the peace and quiet of a holiday on Torsa. There are many attractions in the area, or you can just relax and do nothing. Wildlife abounds, the days are quiet and the nights are peaceful and dark. Torsa is a remote holiday location suitable for those with a sense of adventure.
The house is spacious and laid out on two floors.
The ground floor consists of:
Large conservatory with wonderful views south overlooking Loch Melfort and the Isle of Shuna.
The kitchen and dining area are very well equipped with electric cooker, microwave oven, toaster, storage cupboards, sideboard, dining table and chairs. There is also the farmhouse's original range in place, but this is for decoration only! The kitchen has windows facing east and south.
The sitting room has a three seater sofa, two comfy chairs and a cosy window seat. Compressed woodchip logs and kindling is provided for the log burner with additional logs available for a small charge.

Garden and Transportation
The house is surrounded by a half acre walled garden with three gates. This is bounded on the north east corner by the barns, which house the Egator.
Transport is provided in the form of a rigid tubed dinghy called Cutty which is kept on a running mooring and access is via stepping over the side of her (approx. 1m height) onto the stone beach. There is no jetty, pontoon, pier, dock etc, which is why we recommend wellies! Once on land you have the use of an Egator electric buggy to carry luggage and shopping to the house.
