A unique eco-friendly holiday in self-catering cottages on a private hebridean island.
Escape the stresses of modern life and get back to nature on an island where time stands still. Imagine a holiday with no cars, no telephones, no roads, just an abundance of wildlife (red deer, fallow deer, roe deer, otters, seals, eagles) and the romance of life on a private island.
A model for sustainability, Shuna, a working farm, has no ugly power lines. Solar panels and a small turbine harness the power of the sun and the wind for electricity. With a boat (provided) to visit neighbouring islands and explore Shuna's hidden coves you may even catch your own fish supper!
Shuna is approximately three miles long and one and a half miles wide, covering an area of over 1,000 acres. The island is 20 miles south of the Hebridean tourist hub of Oban, known as "The Gateway to the Isles". The boat trip to Shuna from the mainland pier at Arduaine takes around 20 minutes. Shuna has just six holiday cottages so you often feel as if you have the whole island to yourself. Visitors are free to explore without restriction. Sheep are farmed on the island, which remains a working estate and visitors are welcome to join in with the farming activities when appropriate.
Until 2006, Shuna holidaymakers had to rely solely on gas and paraffin, but thanks to a cutting edge renewable energy system, all houses now have electricity. Water comes through taps from private natural sources for you to filter in your cottage. In keeping with the island’s “green” ethos, houses also have low-voltage electric lighting systems. Fires or wood-burning stoves (fuelled by logs you chopped earlier!!) provide warmth and atmosphere as you rest up in the evening to discuss your island adventures. Shuna is a paradise for dogs and we welcome them free of charge – please make sure they don’t chase the sheep though, especially when they have young lambs!
All cottages sleep between 4 and 12 people and the let includes 17 foot assault craft or similar with outboard for getting around. We also provide a selection of canoes / kayaks for your use, on a first come first served basis.
There is a landline telephone on the island for emergency use. But following the installation of new 4G mobile masts in Spring 2018, various mobile phone networks work quite well on many parts of the island, and for safety reasons when boating we strongly recommend you bring one with you.
There are mains charging points in every house. There is also an island laundry at the pier, which can be made available for an extra charge.
