About this property

Finest Retreats | The Turbine House

Stay at the Turbine House, a charming waterside retreat for couples on the Kintyre Peninsula. Nestled beside the picturesque Ellary Burn, this beautifully converted former power station offers a serene and romantic escape, blending modern comforts with stunning natural surroundings.

Just a short distance from Ellary Harbour, the location is perfect for boating enthusiasts. The nearby beach invites guests to enjoy canoeing and paddleboarding, fully immersing in the coastal beauty. The gentle sounds of the burn create a peaceful ambiance, enhancing the tranquil setting.

The cottage features a bright, airy sitting room with French doors that open to the deck, offering views of the burn, garden, and surrounding landscape. Inside, you'll find a well-equipped kitchen with a washing machine, dining area, one comfortable double bedroom, and a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower. Underfloor heating ensures warmth and comfort throughout the year.

Set just a few hundred yards from the shore, the secluded location offers a perfect retreat for couples. Access is via a lay-by on the road, followed by a short walk through a gate and down some steps, providing a private and peaceful escape.
