About Facing West
Open farmland and quiet lanes surround Stable Cottage, home to Facing West, a bed and breakfast set back from the coast road in Carnduncan on the Isle of Islay. Machir Bay beach lies around 4.9 miles away, making this a peaceful base for exploring the island's western shore without being on top of it.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks provided, with a proper breakfast included to start the day. Free WiFi and free on-site parking are both available, and outside there's a garden, picnic area and outdoor seating for taking in the surrounding countryside. Reception is staffed around the clock, so arrival times are flexible.
The area is well suited to walking and cycling, with fishing also nearby for those who want to spend a day on the water. It's a straightforward, comfortable stopover for guests keen to spend their time outdoors rather than indoors.
