Along it's coast line Kintyre is studded with small villages, prehistoric and Celtic archaeology, abundant wildlife, secret coves and exceptional beaches. Westport Beach is one of the top mainland beaches in Scotland for surfing while maintaining its unspoilt beauty.

Blissful Rest and Relaxation time with the family

Margaret and Ian were fabulous - the cottage was just beautiful. Unplugging and having a digital detox was just what our family needed. Our dogs loved the walks on the doorstep, and the highland cows were perfect neighbours.

A lovely break in Kintyre

We enjoyed a wonderful break at Auchnabreac. Margaret and Iain were so welcoming and helpful and the property is a delight. It is a lovely peaceful location. Nearby beaches are beautiful and were much loved by our dog. We enjoyed visiting the distilleries in Campbeltown, a trip to Gigha and a boat trip with Mull of Kintyre Sea Adventures.

Perfect Stay

Lovely stay in the remoteness of Kintyre. Iain and Margaret were perfect hosts and we had the opportunity to spend time with them in their home and also with Iain looking at the wildlife. The cottage is perfect for exploring the area and it was beautifully equipped. Thank you very much.

The best holiday EVER!!!

Our hosts, Margaret and Iain could not have been friendlier and their knowledge of their home, surrounding areas and Scotland was second to none. The converted cowshed we stayed in adjacent to their farmhouse was charm personified. The amenities were faultless, the condition and cleanliness of the cottage was five star. The view is breathtaking and the Scottish hospitality was like nothing my husband and I have experienced anywhere else. We are already booking to go back and will do for as long as they will have us.

Quiet and peaceful cottage

This is a must to get away from the rat race, the hosts Maggie and Iain were both wonderful. The cottage has everything you need for time away from the humdrum of everyday life. There is no phone signal or Internet at the cottage so do all your research before you go. Maggie and Iain were kind enough to book us a meal and offered to allow us use of the phone if we needed to check in with a loved one. I would definitely recommend
