We absolutely loved the location and far reaching views of the countryside and sea. Despite the feeling of remoteness it is actually really convenient for Campbeltown and easy to get to the local beaches and for walking. The house was extremely comfortable, we found it very easy to relax and felt very much at home. Although the house is situated on a working farm we found it very quiet and were not bothered by the tractors etc which were busy harvesting. Highly recommend.

The setting was exemplary, the remoteness was ideal and the views stunning. I will certainly stay there again and recommend it to others in the future.
