David and i bought this house a few years ago and have spent the time working on it and getting our guest suite and ensuite rooms ready to welcome guests! We love hosting and have met some really interesting people from all over the world. I enjoy getting out and about with my Husky Bailey and when i have the time love reading and spending time in our Garden.
Burnside is a railway side property set in a quiet part of the town (5 minutes away) and a lot of guests like it for this reason as you have the peace and quiet but are still close enough to pop in to town. There are no street lights so it gets pretty dark at night but we do provide a torch! There are lots of great places to eat in town, Eusk has fantastic seafood. Also the Waterfront Fishhouse on the Railway pier. Roxys cafe does a great breakfast and there is also a Wetherspoons called the Corryvreckan amongst lots of other places.
