South End House

One of the most remarkable holiday cottage locations available in Scotland.  A true opportunity to get away from it all......

The ultimate secluded holiday home....

The house has breathtaking views southward down the Sound of Jura.  Nestling in the lee of a hill, and adjacent to its own bay and beach, close to ruined farms and our ancient Iron and Stone Age burial mounds.  You and your luggage will be transported to the house by boat, and then you can enjoy complete peace and freedom.

The boat which is usually supplied with South End is slightly larger and more comfortable that the assault craft which are supplied with our other cottages.

Pricing

Additional costs - gas used during your stay (typically around £50 per week) and Outboard Fuel for the boat.  Please note that the South End Boat is larger than our others, with a bigger engine, and subsequently uses more petrol.  Typically around £100 per week.

DOGS - Charged at £15 per dog per week

Special Points About a Holiday at South End House

South End House is a very special location, and not suited to everybody.  Being some distance away from the other properties on the island (including ourselves) any problems which may crop up during your stay cannot always be resolved immediately.  Although there is a track which runs the whole length of the island to allow tractor access to South End, in practice all deliveries and servicing for South End tends to take place by boat - this makes a stay at South End more boat orientated than at our other houses.  In addition, there is a lot more responsibility involved with the boat which we supply you with for your stay.  Firstly, on the morning after your arrival you will need to walk to the North End of the island (takes about 45 minutes) to collect your boat and receive your boat lesson.  Also, there is a 'running mooring' for keeping the boat at South End, the operation of which will be explained to you.  In addition to this, in the event of bad weather, we may ask you to return the boat to the North End of the island for reasons of safety.  At the end of your stay, we also ask that you return the boat to us at the north end so that it can be serviced and cleaned ready for the next arrivals.  If you find the seclusion and peace of South End appealing, but do not want to be quite so dependant on boating, then we would recommend the Bungalow at the other end of the island.  Having said all that, South End is one of our most popular houses, and unquestionably one of the most spectacular anywhere.  People return year after year to enjoy the unique experience of Shuna's South End House.
