Lovely home to explore Campbeltown

This is a spotless and comfortable home a few minutes drive from the center of Campbeltown. It has a great view of the water and is accessible to many beautiful sites along the coast. Gavin is a terrific host, very responsive, and provides a wealth of information about the area. The living area in the morning is well lit and very relaxing. While in Campbeltown do the Springbank Barley to Bottle tour, it’s superb.

Lovely spacious cottage in fabulous location looking directly on to the Loch

This property is extremely spacious, it has 3 big bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and would easily accomodate a large family.Everything you could need was provided and to top it off there were gifts left for us of wine, chocolates, ice cream and a bottle of milk.Lovely touches and great communication with both the housekeeper and the owner when necessary.Just a short lochside walk into the small town where there are a few pubs and eating places.All in all we feel this property is very good value for money and would definately recommend it!

Lovely little cottage in a beautiful location

We had a great week in Campbeltown. The cottage was an ideal distance to town and great for exploring the area. There was plenty of room in the house and garden for the children to run around. The cottage is well equipped and comfy with a great collection of books.

Tremendous location right on the water

What a great stay in this lovely house just outside Campbeltown. So much to see and do in the area - it's definitely a trek to get there, but very much worth it. Our whole family loved the week we had down there.

A lovely,clean, well equipped property in a great location. Great communication before our stay which made the check in process very easy. The parking area was suitable for one car but would have been a struggle if guests had additional vehicles. We hope to return for a future visit.

Wonderful Week in Campbeltown

This home was perfect for our week's stay in Campbeltown. The setting is idyllic--I could not stop taking pictures out of every window, looking out past the sailboats toward Davaar Island--and the house was very comfortable. Beds were great for our three children (ranging in age from 14 to 9), and we loved the walk from the cottage into town. We hope to repeat this lovely stay in the future.
