Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Kintyre

We really enjoyed our stay here! Beautiful views of the harbor right across the street, and just around the corner from the bus stop and the beginning of the Three Distilleries Trail. The house was clean and well appointed and our group really enjoyed the sitting room for evening conversations, as well as breakfasts in the kitchen.

We really enjoyed staying in Peter's guest home. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The new glass sunroom was amazing! We loved sitting there watching the ocean and the birds. It was like being outside without having to worry about the weather. Peter was a very kind and helpful host. He let us check out a little later on our last day so we could sleep in and have a relaxing morning. He also left us a nice selection of tasty treats to enjoy. We wish we had booked another night or two. If you take the ferry over to Rathlin Island to see the puffins and other sea birds, be sure to have some cash for the bus ride to the Seabird Centre. The bus driver accepted British Pounds or Euros, but not credit cards. We found Rathlin Island to be a delightful place to explore.

I booked this stay for my parents for my dads birthday/Father’s Day. They absolutely loved it and sent me videos of inside and outside the house. The house was clean and comfortable for their getaway, and the videos I received looked beautiful. They loved the views (whenever the rain cleared finally lol) and mum adored the cows in the field beside them, and laughed at them waking her up early mooing. Nan was very responsive and gave me clear instructions to pass onto my parents to allow them to get inside. Even had an egg service for fresh eggs from the farm if you fancy some in the mornings. They had an excellent night away at the house and I’d highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful stay in a wonderful house. House was located just outside Port Ellen, nice walking distance to the town. We were met by the host, and was given a tour of the house on arrival. The house was spacious with large bedrooms, a modern, well equipped kitchen and a great view of the sea. Ardbeg, Lagavulin and Laphroaig distilleries are located close by, we took a taxi to Ardbeg and walked back to the house visiting the other two as we passed them. The taxi driver was recommended to us by the host, and he turned out to be one of the friendliest and helpful taxi drivers we've come across. He drove us around half the island one of the other days, and was a great guide as well. The company is called Bodachs Islay Taxi, and Amazing Arthur as we called him is also highly recommended! We highly recommend this property to anyone planning a trip to Islay!

Wow! Wow! Wow! We were totally blown away by how amazing this place is. What a beautiful, characterful home. Very easy space to relax in, with everything you need and more. Stunning location. Sitting in the window or on the front porch the views were mesmerising. Half an hour to Loch Lomond and The Cobbler. Discovered the sailing club across the road and watched sailing races while enjoying a G&T. Brian the host is so helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend staying here and would stay here again when we visit this part of Scotland. Thank you for a wonderful trip.

Marcool Cottage impresses with its great location by the sea. You can go directly to the beach and have a wonderful view of the sea from the living room. In addition, it is very tastefully decorated.

We were impressed by the photos on the website but the cottage was even more impressive than the pictures suggested. A spotlessly clean cottage, warm and welcoming, with lots of spaces to relax from the comfortable bedroom, spacious lounge, dining kitchen, cosy nook, and porch area at the back of the property. The garden was magical too, and I found myself drawn to wander around it, seeing something new each time. We were VERY lucky with the weather & the lower patio area was a fabulous suntrap! We have a friend who lives on Bute and when we come back we will definitely look to book Hawthorn Cottage. Thank you Rosemary, we had a wonderful stay.

This was our second stay at Grants home. A lovely house in an ideal location. We were blessed with great weather and with the beach in such easy reach we swam every day. We would not hesitate to recommend this house as the ideal location for a stay on Arran.

Perfect place for me to stay. Had everything I needed and more. Felt very comfortable. Loved the area. Easy to walk in to Dunoon and a good location for exploring further by bike/ bus / car

Went there for a weekend on motorcycle. Great place, safe parking for motorcycle, Perfectly clean property, fully equipped. on arrival there was waiting for me bottle of milk, butter, fresh eggs from Frances hens! so you can imagine that my breakfasts were eggcellent! thank you very much Frances! I highly recommend this place.

Emma’s apartment is such a great place to stay with the most amazing view out towards the islands and really modern, tasteful decor. It is light, bright and spacious offering an ideal place for both short or longer stays and it is an easy walk along the prom into Largs. I would love to stay there again.

Julie and Ronan are amazing hosts! They are very welcoming and warm, and even made it possible for my little son to borrow a basketball and shoot some hoops on their property. They gave us excellent recommendations too. The place was beautiful and clean, immersed in a serene environment. Absolutely lovely!

Very nice vacation home that is fully equipped and offers all the conditions for a nice vacation on Islay

Highly enjoyable, but ideally it would have received 4.5 stars. The negative aspect of this apartment was the rather noisy boiler situated in the second bedroom.

Love this apartment in every way. In a gr8 location and run by a fab host! Many thanks C.

We had a great stay Loved the location and was very comfortable

A fantastic stay had by two families with young children and dogs. A wonderful property in the most amazing location. We had everything in the house we needed and the kayaks and beach access down the hill was fantastic too. Great communication and information from the host. Thank you.

We stayed as a group of 8 and could not rate our stay high enough! The area was stunning and private, the villa was spacious and comfortable and our host was attentive for the entire duration of the stay. We cannot wait to book our next stay and hope to make it an annual trip! 12 out of 10!

I would be hard pressed to remember a better equipped house. the hosts had literally thought of everything-from crabbing buckets to pizza cutters. on top of this of this to house was absolutely pristine and everything was very new and extremely well laid out and decorated. this is a fantastic base for up to two families to explore the local area. two minutes from the beach and from the local hotel. can't recommend it highly enough!

Such a beautiful home and perfect for our family’s stay for our daughter’s wedding at a farm nearby. Such a unique property and we were grateful for the gorgeous back garden since we had such great weather. Kitchen was well-equipped and we enjoyed the setup of the house overall.

Large and comfortable space ideal for exploring Ayrshire

Kim was an excellent host and the house was great - bags of room, lovely furnishings and what a setting! The view was stunning! Highly recommend! There were a few minor issues with cleanliness when we arrived but Kim was incredibly proactive and rectified immediately.

Fantastic house - we had a group of us stay over new year and it was perfect. Huge social areas with a perfect kitchen and dining area for entertaining. Alan was so helpful. Would recommend!

We were a family of 11 and 3 dogs and we were blown away by the villa. When we got inside we were walking from room to room saying wow at every new room. We cannot praise Nicola and James enough for their communication throughout keeping us informed. Everything was just perfect 👌 the extension with the dining room with the long table was our favourite room and the sofa positioned so you could look out over the loch was everyone’s favourite place to be ❤️ The villa is very well stocked with everything you could need and more. I had read about the welcome pack but didn’t dream it would be as lovely as it was (sadly it’s all gone now!) the hot tub was very welcome after a busy day. The scenery in Scotland is stunning. Three of our party climbed Ben Nevis and the drive to Fort William must be one of the most beautiful in Scotland/UK. Thank you Nicola and James for the most wonderful holiday which is to celebrate my 70th birthday. Lyn + 10 family and 3 small dogs
