This page is due to expire try:
These four holiday cottages in the grounds of Kilchrist Castle are situated on the stunning Mull of Kintyre peninsula.
They are only 3 miles from the sea and beautiful beaches and are surrounded by idyllic countryside. These good value cottages offer cosy accommodation for a peaceful holiday in a very friendly part of Scotland.
The Mull of Kintyre has a dramatic coastline with lovely secluded sandy coves - perfect for picnics and swimming in the sea. Three miles away is the small town of Campbeltown, set around Campbeltown Loch. There is an abundance of things to do nearby: you can take day trips to the nearby islands of Arran, Islay, Gigha and Jura. You can watch birds and wildlife, or ride the surf if you
feel more active.
Campbeltown with its natural harbour, has a sailing club, cinemas (just one, the 'wee picture hoose', built 1913),
there is a new owl sanctuary in Campbeltown
and a variety of shops, stores and eating places. Further on are the cliffs of the Mull of Kintyre, made famous by Paul McCartney and Wings in the eponymous song - as the lyrics say "Dark distant mountains and valleys of green". The hills, lochs and bays of the Kintyre Peninsula offer an amazing selection of views, wildlife and tranquil communities. It is a very hidden part of Scotland where you feel you've stepped back in time to a more gentle pace of life.
