    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.

    We had a nice holiday, the view is great, we enjoyed it every evening . We would recommend to detach the inactive weather station as it is in the middle of the view to the sea. Everything except the kitchen was very clean. We would recommend this home for holiday.

    We stayed for a long weekend and had a great time in a very nice house. The views (especially for sundown) were stunning. The communication with the landlord, the check-in and check-out were very kind and uncomplicated.

    The description of the house and the location is absolutely accurate. The view over the sea to the islands of Gigha and Islay are breathtaking. incredible sunsets await you in the evening. The house is modern and wonderfully furnished for families. There is plenty of room to retreat from time to time. Over 2 floors the house offers every comfort. I would especially like to mention the courteous communication with Kim. Always available and open to all questions. Many thanks for that.
