The Experience
Spot red deer in the garden and eagles soaring overhead at this remote island retreat. This solid whitewashed farmhouse stands on the only road running along Jura’s east coast. Grassy fields and heather-covered hills stretch into the distance, while you can gaze across the Sound of Jura. Inside, glass doors and big windows frame the sublime views and fill the house with light. There’s a cosy sitting room with window seats inviting you to look seawards and a fire for nippy nights. You can buy supplies in the Craighouse shop a couple of miles away and cook in the bright, modern kitchen. Cheerful bedrooms are decorated in floral fabrics and overlook the garden or sea; simple bathrooms are stocked with local, malt whiskey-scented soaps! If you crave a dram of the real thing, you can hire bikes and cycle to the Jura distillery for a guided tour and a wee taste. Keen birdwatchers will be in heaven here, with greylag geese, oystercatchers and herons all resident in the surrounding fields. But if you prefer more active pursuits, you can go beachcombing along the coast, or conquer the Paps of Jura…

Thank you once again for letting us stay in this lovely house. This time we were a group of 6 people with two dogs. Everybody had a wonderful time. We bumped into some locals during our stay who told us Feolin Farmhouse is the best rental property on the island!! We hope to be back again soon.

Great stay on Jura as usual! Swimming, cycling, walking, climbing and running were all enjoyed, along with the spotting of an Otter, a Sea Eagle and a slightly scary encounter with a goat! Can’t wait to come back again!

We had such a fabulous week at Feolin Farmhouse. Fantastic walks from the door. Incredible wildlife including Golden Eagles, Short Eared Owls, Seals , Dolphins , Otters and the ubiquitous deer. Swallows were flitting in and out of the adjacent barn and only rained for one day! The cottage is an idyllic location with amazing views, a short stroll to s beach ( with seals) and only a short walk into Craighouse. The cottage was very clean and welcoming. Looking forward to visiting again in the future.

Once again another FANTASTIC stay in the superbly well appointed accommodation. On arrival the property was so clean and fresh smelling the amenities are everything you need for all terrain and weather. The dry room is a godsend with the second fridge freezer which allowed us to visit the shop only for essentials.

We stayed at Feolin for my 60th Birthday. The house was great for our extended family. Very cosy and with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms it was very flexible. Add in the magic of Jura and red deer grazing in the front garden- fantastic!. We are hopefully returning this summer (2021) if covid permits

Location
The neighbourhood
Local points of interest from Sally Steed
- Jura comes from the Norse words meaning Deer Island. Over 6,500 deer live on Jura, with the human population being about 300. There are over 100 species of birds, including Golden Eagles, as well as wild goats, seals, rabbits, hares, stoats and otters.
- Jura is 29 miles long and 7 miles wide. It is virtually wild in the west, and is occupied by the three Paps of Jura. Known in Gaelic as The Mountain of Sound, The Mountain of Gold and The Sacred Mountain.
- The novelist George Orwell stayed on the island at Barnhill. Orwell lived there intermittently from 1946 until January 1949. He completed his final novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, at Barnhill.
- Craighouse is the "capital" of Jura. It is 8 miles from the ferry and the place for food and drink. The Jura Community Shop is located in Craighouse,.
- Jura Boat Tours offer bespoke RIB tours to various areas of outstanding natural beauty around the island’s shores, giving the opportunity to enjoy the Corryvreckan Whirlpool, raised beaches, lighthouses and caves.
- Jura Island Tours offer short and full island tours with stops along the way taking in the history, culture, wildlife and stunning beauty of Jura.

There was only one place in the world to celebrate a milestone birthday and of course it was Jura. Feolin Farmhouse is superb in its attributes and position; you will never be able to visualise the magnificent situation before you actually see it. Our group aged 4 to 80 had the time of our lives. Thanks to Sally and Ross for their help and care throughout the booking and stay.
