The cottage was fantastic it was cosy and comfortable the views were wonderful who needs to watch TV with constant changing scenery outside. I was able to cook a full Sunday roast for my family the ovens were great. Sitting at the kitchen table for breakfast watching the garden birds setting up nests in the roof. Very happy with everything, parking great just be careful coming out onto the road.Great having a bath and a walk in shower and two toilets no morning mayhem!Will definitely be coming back

Fantastic cottage in a great location

Fantastic spacious cottage in a great location. Just a short walk to Campbeltown or Davaar Island. Great location from where to explore the islands. A short drive to Machrihanish beach, Southend and the Mull of Kintyre (with views to Ireland). We loved it and can only recommend.

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.
