Glorious Kintyre
Great house in peaceful rural location with scenic panoramic west facing views from the house and garden of the islands and glorious sunset. Views too of sheep, cows and occasional deer and jumping fish in the pond. Generous decking with excellent outdoor seating, including loungers and barbeque. House very comfortable with everything we needed and more. Good appliances although a larger dishwasher would have been better. Easy trip to Gigha . Boathouse restaurant excellent but do book in advance. Lots of nearby beaches. Perfect place for a 3 generations early summer holiday!

Fantastic property, in a wonderful location.
Overall we had a wonderful holiday at this property. The house has plenty of space for 2 families and it was ideal having 2 living areas. The views from the outside decking are fantastic and we saw some beautiful sunsets. I do think the addition of an outdoor heater would make this space more usable in the cooler months. Overall I would recommend this property, the house itself has lots to offer and Kim the owner was very helpful.

Beautiful house in stunning location
Communication with Kim was excellent, all questions answered promptly. House was immaculate and very well equipped. The views were stunning and having the ability to sit on the front balcony and watch sunsets was incredible. We will return and cannot recommend highly enough.

A very special place
We have just had 2 wonderful weeks in Kim's house. The property is beautifully located and has sensational views. It is well-equipped, and decorated with taste and care so you feel very at home. We were very lucky with the weather and had plenty of opportunities to explore the local beaches, islands and lots of wonderful walks. We would definitely recommend this house and location - it was a wonderful holiday!
