“Kilbride Cottage is wonderful!”

From the moment we arrived we felt at home. Barry and Jeanette are lovely hosts...there if you need them and unobtrusive if you don't. The view is outstanding and the sofa invites you to be lazy! Barry's hens are amusing and photogenic and provide delicious eggs. Can't wait to go back!

“Barry and Janette were great hosts, nothing was too much trouble.”

The cottage was very clean and extremely well equipped, the generous welcome pack was also very much appreciated. The location of the cottage was perfect for our needs and had a stunning view of the nearby coast. We believe the cost of renting this self catering cottage to be excellent value for money and look forward to returning in the future. Peter and Deborah McKay, Ayrshire.

“Barry and Jeanette were lovely and made us feel like VIPS from the off.”

Nice extra touches which made us feel special, the cottage was well equipped and spotlessly clean and the views were to die for. We would like to thank them for a memorable stay in Kintyre and wish them well in the future. PS Good luck with the Banthams watch out for that fox

“Tranquility views are brilliant.”

My wife and I are seriously evaluating the value of self catering. The cost now makes it less likely that we would do it again when we can have 7 days half board for £550.

“That was my first ever visit to Kintyre,and I couldn't have gone to anywhere nicer to stay.”

the couple who owned the property were two of the nicest people you could wish to stay with. Eager to help in every way possible. Extremely generous with their welcoming gifts, and always ready to chat especially about Scottish islands. Thank you again Jeanette and Barry. I would recommend a visit to Kilbride Cottage to anyone.

“Bliss!! Fabulous cottage, with every conceivable amenity”

. Friendly helpful hosts who were always around when required but in no way intrusive. Very comfortable bed, excellent shower, very good cooking facilities, Good selection of TV channels, although we found the sheep and the lambs, mingling with the hens provided better entertainment! The hens also provided the freshest possible eggs for breakfast in the mornings! In the village there were two first class places to eat - The Argyll Arms Hotel and the Muneroy Tearoom both served up excellent food combined with great service.

“We enjoyed our visit to Kilbride Cottage, it is in a great location with lovely views.”

A very clean cottage with plenty of room for two people and good facilities. Barry and Jeanette were very friendly hosts who are very helpful in ensuring that your stay at the cottage is enjoyable. Highly recommended.

“I had a fantastic time at Kilbride Cottage - it's a great base for exploring the Kintyre peninsula (and beyond), but it's equally suitable if all you want to do is put your feet up and admire the view (I did a bit of both - what a view it is, right across to Antrim when the visibility is good).”

The cottage itself is charming, modern and spotless, with all the amenities you might need: I couldn't see that anything had been missed, but I'm sure that if I'd wanted for something, Barry and Jeanette would have provided. They make for excellent hosts, whether you want to call on their knowledge of the area, or whether you want to enjoy the peace and quiet on your own - again, I was made to feel right at home from the minute I got there. Campbeltown is a short drive away and has two supermarkets, aside from being a fascinating town in its own right - neither Tarbet nor Lochgilphead is that far (lots of things to do around the latter especially) - the scenic route via Carradale is stunning, as is the Mull, and the highlight of my week was a day spent on Gigha, easily accessible by ferry. So, a quiet and peaceful place if that's what you're after, but with lots to do within easy reach if you're wanting to be more active. Couldn't recommend this more highly - it was a wonderful place to stay.

“This cottage , and its geographical position, was glorious.”

The owners were so accommodating and helpful. We loved being awakened by lambs queuing up for breakfast, out side the window. The local tea shop is a gem!

“The owners are very helpful and friendly and keen to ensure holidaymakers have the best time possible.”

We loved everything about this cottage including the excellent wildlife and birds. Our Springbank whisky distillery tour in Campbeltown was memorable and we highly recommend it. I had a great couple of zumba classes at the leisure centre in Campbeltown.

Dr Bassil-Morozow August 2016

“Newly-refurbished cottage in the middle of a stunning countryside.”

The owner is very friendly and helpful. Plenty of scenic walks around. If you are into whisky, you can catch a ferry to Islay or go to the nearby Campbeltown for a tour in one of its three distilleries. Fresh (and delicious) produce is available from local farms. The best holiday I have ever had!

About the location

SOUTHEND, KINTYRE PENINSULA

Campbeltown 9 miles.

At the southern end of the Kintyre Peninsula, on the extreme west coast of Scotland, is the picturesque village of Southend and the beautiful sandy beach of Dunaverty Bay. Between the village and the bay is Southend's 18-hole golf course in a glorious setting with wonderful sea views. There is a shop with tea room in the village, while the Post Office is in the pub! Sanda Island lies 2 miles south of Southend and can be visited on boat trips from Campbeltown. Popularly known as 'The Wee Toon', Campbeltown is the largest settlement in Kintyre, and is the centre for local services with a good range of shops, two small supermarkets, a museum, heritage centre, large leisure centre with swimming pool and adjoining library, as well as the oldest operating cinema in the country. The Kintyre Peninsula, about 40 miles long, contains everything which makes Scotland such an attractive holiday destination - hills, lochs, rivers, forests, seascapes, sandy beaches, history and archaeology. A superb base for that Scottish cottage holiday.

Note: Adults only.
Note: The garden is new and the lawn is not yet fully grown.
