About this property
Campbeltown 5 miles.
A traditional, stone-built farmhouse, on the owner's 250-acre beef farm, in a beautiful, secluded location, 5 miles from Campbeltown, on the Kintyre Peninsula. Offering panoramic countryside views, and charming, character accommodation, this Campbeltown holiday cottage makes a perfect rural getaway, and an ideal base for discovering all the Kintyre Peninsula has to offer. Enjoy a round of golf at Machrihanish Golf Club's links course, try rough shooting or fishing with the owner, and with beautiful scenery to enjoy, a walk amongst the hills is a must, before returning to this delightful, cosy Campbeltown cottage for a drink in the garden, or to curl up in front of the open fire. With plenty of activities on offer, plus the chance to spot a dolphin or seal basking in the local waters, this Campbeltown cottage is an ideal base for exploring this lovely part of Scotland.
Set in a deep bay and sheltered by Davaar Island is Campbeltown, the Kintyre Peninsula's main settlement. Once boasting a vast fishing fleet and (apparently) 34 whisky distilleries, the town now produces two popular single malts - Glen Scotia and Springbank. The Campbeltown Heritage Centre, housed in an old church, is definitely worth visiting, as is the Tartan Kirk - a striking construction that provides an interesting insight into its past life. The 'Wee Picture House', the country's oldest working cinema, is an art-deco fan's dream, whilst just a few miles to the south is The Mull of Kintyre â formerly the Mull of Cantyre â made famous by the Wings song.

En suites chilly in cold weather. Kitchen would benefit from more lighting and an extractor, maybe a dishwasher for soft spoilt Sassenachs; the square plates / dishes are a tad heavy and idiosyncratic? (Freezer needs a defrost?). Welcome logs and kindling for safe closed and effective fire. Lots of games and care for guests' needs. WiFi and TV all good. Love the tartan carpeting!

There were 4 adults and 2 kids (12 & 14). House big enough with everyone having their own space to relax in. Campbelltown is only 10 mins drive with a decent size Tesco and coop and a couple of takeaways. Beautiful beaches all close by aswell. Bean coffee machine in the kitchen was a great touch. Key was in the door when we got there and we didn't need to contact owners as we had no issues, a guide to the house and area was in the house. The only thing missing for me was a dishwasher, that would have been the icing. We would definitely stay again and had looked at next year for the same week but it was booked up.
