A lovely stay. The accommodation was beautiful and the surroundings and views were incredible.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
Lovely property located well for a no noise, peaceful break. We were 3 generations and a dog travelling together. House set up was good for spending time together but plenty of space to relax separately, if needed.5 year old loved the kids room and dog loved watching neighbouring sheep, horses and deer in neighbouring fields from the large kitchen doors!Campbeltown and Tarbert both within easy driving distance.Unrelated to property, but would advise researching dining out and booking your table as found many restaurants were full with residents.

This is a great property to stay in and to explore Kintyre from and visit Campbeltown's distilleries. Smashing views, often with beautiful sunsets and a lovely deck to enjoy them from with a BBQ. The house has lots of space and pretty much everything you need. We stayed for a week with friends and family (6 adults in total) and it was perfect for us.

Achnaha was a warm, clean and comfortable place to stay whilst we explored Kintyre and Gigha. The house had everything we needed as well as plenty of space for the kids to play indoors and out. The children’s toys and books were especially helpful so we didn’t have to bring to many of our own. Kim was easily contactable and helpful and overall we had a really lovely stay- would recommend.
