Jura House Garden
A Mansion Houses & Gardens in Islay and Jura
Mansion
A large Australasian collection, perennials and mixed borders, nursery, bulbs, many non-hardy plants and separate gardens, create a surprising mosaic of different moods. Outside the walled garden the circular walk gives you a real island feel with a burn running through wood and field leading to the shore with cliffs, rocky coastline and beaches back up to the garden with wildflower meadow and tea-tent in season. The nursery sells shrubs, perennials, bulbs and seeds all
sourced from the garden. All aspects of the running of the garden are done on organic principles. Jura House is also available for Self-Catering parties of up to 16.

Private House Stays
I have selected the properties on Private House Stays for their individuality that results from being privately owned. They take many forms from bed and breakfasts to small hotels but in each case it is the marque of the owner that sets it apart. This may be the charm of the furnishings, the wholesome home cooking or simply the atmosphere created by a charismatic host. I have inspected most of the establishments listed here and feel sure you will enjoy staying in them too.
Remember - booking through Private House Stays is free of charge.
