    Kennacraig Lodge was unreservedly the best accommodation we have ever stayed in. The owners provided absolutely everything in their beautiful property to ensure that we had a relaxing fun filled holiday. They provided everything for our 1 yr old granddaughter, our young children and parents and grandfather. Large selection of books, games, snooker table, badminton, volleyball, crab fishing equipment and lots more. Spacious comfortable rooms and beds with tasteful artworks and furniture. We would highly commend the location and quality of this property.

    Wonderful property, luxuriously fitted out, in a great location to explore Kintyre, with easy access to all the nearby ferry ports as well as Tarbert and Campbeltown.
    10.0 / 10.0
    Very spacious house with all mod cons. Could watch the ferries going to Islay but they are not very often and could not hear any traffic noise in the house from the A 83. Watched sheep and geese in the field. Need to use apps to watch the television, would suggest a Freesat box and dish so terrestrial channels are easy to access. Good WiFi so we just connected a laptop and watched through our own Sky subscription. Tarbert is 7mins away and we would recommend the Red Herring takeaway! The recommended beaches are lovely.
