About this property

Auchnabreac Cottage is perfectly located off the beaten track and situated in a beautiful tranquil setting overlooking fields and woods to the forests and hills beyond with the Carradale River close by. The riverbank is only yards from your cottage door and with walks and views for miles there is no need to even reach the main road.
Lovely self catering cottage ideal for couples, small families and friends and of course your four legged friends. It's where the pace of life slows down, with peace and quiet, fresh air and beautiful countryside to enjoy. Situated approximately 8 miles from the picturesque fishing village of Carradale, in the heart of Kintyre the cottage is also ideally placed to explore the Kintyre Peninsula and the surrounding Islands of Gigha, Islay, Jura and Arran.
Located in the west of Scotland, Kintyre is a long and narrow peninsula about 30 miles in length, with the Isle of Arran on its eastern side and the Isle of Gigha to its west. 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.

Very well appointed two bedroomed cottage sleeping up to four people.

Plenty of parking and a south facing private enclosed garden for you to enjoy on sunny days or for chillier evenings there is a cosy log burner for you to snuggle in front of.

Mooie cottage in een prachtige omgeving

De cottage is ruim, sfeervol ingericht en van alles voorzien. Er is geen WiFi of bereik dus alle gelegenheid om tot rust te komen in een prachtige omgeving. Mooie wandelingen gemaakt en veel gelezen. Er liggen overigens ook veel dvd’s in het huisje. Bij de gastheer/gastvrouw kun je terecht voor alle vragen en tips. Wij hebben een heerlijke week gehad.

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.
