This unique holiday house was originally a tin-clad church, hence the name, and was tastefully renovated when modern cladding was added to replicate the initial tin exterior, as featured on the BBC programme "Build a New Life in the Country".

This Art Deco-style single-storey holiday cottage was formerly the vestry of the church and forms part of the owners' home. There are beautiful countryside views and you are only a short stroll from the view point that looks out over the Atlantic and down to the conservation village of Ellenabeich, Seil Island.

This village is only 1 mile from The Tin Church and boasts a snug pub and fascinating local history of the slate mines in the area. Ideal location to visit one of the many islands. Oban, 12 miles, the gateway to the isles, has a great selection of shopping and restaurants. The adventurous can enjoy a sea safari or may spot the eagles above the cliffs. Shop and pub 0.5 mile.

Sitting/dining room with double sofa bed (for +2). Kitchen. Double bedroom. Bathroom/WC (shower over bath).
