Cottage holiday rentals in Kintyre

My friend and I chose this cottage for a quiet getaway with our dogs and it was just what we hoped it would be. We were welcomed by Barbara and Graeme upon arrival and they were very kind and helpful if we had any queries at all. The place was spotless and had everything we needed. The views from the bedrooms were stunning and there were plenty walks nearby the property, which were especially lovely in the evening with the sunsets. It was the perfect scenic escape we needed. Thank you Barbara and Graeme (and Rosie the golden retriever of course!).

The Conifers is a wonderful, peaceful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring Dumfries and Galloway and coming back to such a wonderful relaxing spot each day. The hot tub water was checked daily and chemicals added if required which really impressed me. The lodges and cabins have plenty of room between them so you can be assured of privacy. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying here and we will be back.

The place was lovely, cozy, and comfortable. I really like the effect of the fireplace below the TV. The kitchen is new and very nice, and it looked exactly like kitchens in those house remodeling shows on HGTV, like subway tiles, Dutch door.. And my friend really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely location and David was very responsive. We had a wee problem with the hot tub and David came out to rectify it early morning when the weather was at its worst. Great hosts and take pride in their accommodation and facilities. A great break in homely accommodation with the hot tub as a lovely addition. The weather didn’t spoil our stay and enjoyed the peace and quiet of this great location.

We couldn’t have picked a better place to finish our week exploring Islay and Jura. The cottage is an absolute dream. A mixture of back to basics and quality amenities. Located a 10 minute drive from Craighouse but also with great walks straight from the door. The paps right on your doorstep gave us the most magical sunset sight. Rain or sun whatever the weather Jura wears it well. And Mrs Leonard’s cottage is the perfect place to come back to and either warm up in front of the fire or sip a wine or a touch of the hard stuff in the garden. I hope we will be back

Claire was a warm and welcoming host who made us feel like old friends. Check-in was seamless, and the cottage was cozy, spotless, and set in one of the most breathtaking locations we’ve ever experienced. The address was a little tricky for taxis, but we found it easily ourselves. We traveled in by ferry from Belfast, which was scenic but a bit of a trek — next time, we’d recommend flying into Glasgow and renting a car for a smoother arrival. That said, once we made it to the cottage, it felt like stepping into a peaceful postcard. A group of cows lounged on the hill behind us for our entire stay — like calm, gentle neighbors. Sheep grazed right outside our door, and we passed horses along the road each time we came and went. I even managed to get our car stuck in the driveway ditch for a day, and still couldn’t complain. That’s how peaceful and restorative this place is. The stillness in Ayr is unmatched. Waking up to ocean views and the quiet rhythm of rural life was pure magic.

Gorgeous place with beautiful scenery! Rebecca and Dave were super attentive and helpful. Would 100% recommend this place.

We absolutely loved our stay here, the hot tub made it even better. Place was immaculately clean, no faults what so ever. Basic kitchen equipment which is all you need for a few days away. Plenty of restaurants, take aways and shop within the area if you’re driving so was able to have the option there if we fancied. Access was easy and it was easy to find, we both liked how it wasn’t on a public road etc and it was so peaceful at night. We were lucky to be able to see a sunset on our first night and that was fantastic, being able to be in the hot tub and have those views was just unreal. Even on our second night the weather wasn’t the best we still loved every minute of it. We cannot recommend this enough, we will definitely be back! Thank you both again

We chose An-Tigh as a place to explore the surrounding area & islands..it was the perfect bolthole to spend a relaxing week away from our normal routine..the accommodation was perfect for us & our dog & had all the essentials needed for self catering..it is exactly like the photos & finished beautifully. It has the advantage of having a small shop that sells virtually everything a couple of houses away as well as a golf course..for those who are interested…both the ferries to Luing & Easdale are only a short drive away as well as the local museums & the gardens at An Cala..Oban is approximately 30 minutes away with access to the bigger ferries accessing Mull & the surrounding islands. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our week & would highly recommend Thomas & Alison’s accommodation.

Lovely cottage with beautiful views surrounded by country side. Communication was fab including hints and tips for things to do. We had a great few days and will definitely stay again. Thank you!

Great small cottage as a base for exploring the Dunoon area, we had a lovely day at Benmore Gardens and a great trip over to Loch Lomond and Arachar. The cottage is compact but has everything that you need with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and bedroom. Top tip is to buy your tickets before getting on the ferry over from Gourock, if you’re coming that way as they charge a fortune if you buy on- board!

Words cannot express the wonderful week we have had on Loch Katrine. Old Smiddy is ideally located for hiking the mountains, lochs and woodland and Carole has thought of all you need to make it feel like a home from home. Having our morning tea watching the Barn Swallows and House Martins catching their breakfast on the lake in the sunshine was very special. Aberfoyle has all you need for food and cute shops and fantastic Doone Hill walk from the town - Free Parking!!! A ferry trip on the Sir Walter Scott from the pier over to Trossachs Pier is a MUST and the Primrose Hill hike was stunning. The Pier Cafe is outstanding, definitely worth a treat and just a short walk away. Thank you Carole for sharing your amazing house, we will be back to enjoy the hot tub and sauna 🤞

The location and property exceeded our expectations. It has everything you need with a little nostalgia on the side. The views are fantastic from anywhere on the island, with lots of walks and swim spots. The islanders were very welcoming, and provided helpful info re best swim locations. We swam once or twice every day, access is with care via a 'slate slide'. There is a lovely pub/cafe, The Puffer, opposite the cottage, but worth booking as it gets very busy, open Thursday to Sunday. Locally produced, reasonably priced art, jewellery and soaps are available. The island is a peaceful haven.

Adrian could not have made our stay at his cottage any better. He was communicative and helpful. His lovely cottage was comfortable and provided us with the perfect base to explore the area as well as relax Thank you

This was our second stay at Bernard's place and it was just as we remembered. It is spacious, comfortable, practical, and in a great location. Our dogs had plenty of space in the secure private garden. We have enjoyed both stays very much as we have found it a very relaxing place to stay. We can also highly recommend the meals at The Catch at Find restaurant where we have always had a first class meal. Richard & Sharon

Beautiful cottage with everything you need to make you feel at home. Lovely location with lots to do in the nearby area. Thank you for a wonderful few days. Would definitely return!

Joanne's place was a peaceful retreat for 2 people with beautiful views over to Arran. The accommodation was very well equipped in the kitchen and the double bed was very comfortable. The main bathroom was a good size too. It was nice to be off grid for a while and we felt benefits of quality downtime in the house. 10m away you have your perfect spot for a morning dip and within a short walk you have a small hotel with friendly locals for company.

We had an amazing stay at the Doll's House. Marie & Ellis are lovely hosts and we instantly felt right at home. The cottage is the perfect size, with a lovely view from living room and front porch. The kitchen is well stocked which is sometimes a rarity with Airbnb. Located close to the Gigha ferry it's a perfect spot to explore the rest of Kintyre. Highly recommended and we hope to return soon.

A great house, exceeded expectations. Walking distance to shops, pubs, and restaurants in Bowmore. Fraser responded to messages quickly and helpfully.

We have just had a great stay at Kevin’s place, an ideal place for a group to enjoy a weekend on Arran. Secluded cottage a short walk up the hill from Lamblash, Marbeth was lovely when she greated us and nothing was to much trouble. Thanks

Ive booked Julie's place a few times for colleagues coming to the area to cover shifts. Julie is very responsive, always helpful and makes everything very straight forward, would definitely recommend.

We had a great weekend at Fiona’s cottage despite the rainy weather. The cottage is as described and would be absolutely delightful to sit in the beautiful garden enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The cottage is very private and well looked after. We loved lighting up the log fire in the evenings sipping a glass (or 2) of wine and watching the rain fall, absolutely magical. Fiona is a very responsive and helpful host, when we arrived at the cottage we realised there was no hot water, we contacted Fiona and whithin an hour (or less!) we had a technician come to us who solved the problem in a matter of minutes, we were very impressed by Fiona’s prompt action. We managed to bike down to Old Castle Lachlan and Kilmorie Chapel when the rain let up a bit, lovely scenery and an easy ride on our e-bikes. We dined at The Creggan’s Inn and spotted a red squirrel, 2 does and a fawn on the road down to/from The Oystercatcher, absolutely amazing! Thank you for having us Fiona, we will be back!

The cottage has been beautifully renovated and decorated and makes an excellent self catering retreat. We loved our short stay and found the position very convenient, being close to town facilities yet within easy reach of Wigtown and the Machars coast, plus Glen Trool area northwards. The cottage is close to a road but very very quiet inside. Its lovely looking out on the walled garden and lawn. So nice too to be able to wander round the garden. There was a lovely smell of roses and other blooms. In late evening, sitting in the garden with a clear sky and a nearly full moon rising was romantic and something special to remember. We slept well in a big comfortable bed and the shower worked well in the clean well designed bathroom. We also appreciated fast WiFi, and later on we enjoyed having somewhere warm and comfortable to sit and read. All very recommendable as a peaceful base from which to explore Galloway!

Great cottage on a working farm. Even Billy the dog and the other farm animals made us feel welcome. Not to forget the friendly hosts !
