Things You'll Love

The location is stunning, set among rolling hills and with a feeling of being right on your own. Yet Campbeltown, the 'wee toon' is just three miles away. It is proud of its state-of-the-art new swimming pool and fitness suite, and also has plenty of interesting shops, cafes and restaurants. The owl centre is a recent attraction.

Owner's Description

Kilchrist Castle Cottages are two characterful self catering holiday cottages in the renovated Old Byre of Kilchrist. They are idyllically situated on Scotland's "mainland island", the Kintyre peninsula, surrounded by rolling countryside only three miles from the sea. The cottages are designed for 2-6 guests and some are non smoking and pet free. In addition there is a small laundry room with a washing machine and tumble drier. Power included in the rent, up to £20 per week.


MacLeod is a small detached cottage near to the others. It has a shower room , an all-in-one living area, a good-sized double bedroom, with extra 2'6" bed if needed.

The outlook from MacLeod is towards the castle at one side and the hills at the other. It is light and comfortable, with a newly-fitted kitchen area.

Things You Need To Know

There are lots of jokes about Scottish weather and some of them are at least partly true! It can be wet and windy in Kintyre at times, so come prepared. But did you know that the West of Scotland is mild due to the Gulf Stream? There are even palm trees growing in Campbeltown! That is because frosts are rare.

Last May, some Australian friends staying at Kilchrist were heard to say, 'It's too hot!'
So you may be in for a pleasant surprise, but be prepared for anything. To see the Kintyre hills emerge from a mist is beautiful, to see the sunset over the Atlantic on a fine evening awe-inspiring!

Directions

You can travel by land, sea or air! But some forms of transport take longer.

By land
Drive to Glasgow, then over the Erskine bridge and on to the A82. From Loch Lomond onwards it is a beautiful drive and warrants a few stopping off places! You drive along at least five lochs, and the last part of the journey is along the stunning Atlantic coastline! There are also buses from Glasgow for the seasoned traveller.
By sea
You could take the ferry to Arran, and in summer there is a ferry off the other side of Arran direct onto the East side of Kintyre. In summer there is a passenger only boat from Troon in Ayrshire.
By air
There are twice daily flights to Campbeltown airport from Glasgow, at present only during the week.
