Kilchrist Castle Cottages

Absolutely delighted with this lovely cottage. Beautifully looked after and everything thought of. We were very comfortable inspite of visiting over a storm weekend. We will be back soon hopefully!

The dog should be kept on a leash in the shared garden area. The night we arrived I was facetiming my relative who we we there to visit when a neighbouring cottage door opened and a very excited black lab flew out at my 3 year old and I, barking aggressively as far as I could tell. It had stopped running at us before we jumped in and shut the door - but the loud barking continued. I heard someone shout it back in so I was not going to mention (assuming it just escaped) but over the course of the weekend it became clear that is how the dog is let out and no leash is used. This was a frightening experience for my 3 year old and as someone who grew up with collies, I would expect more care from a dog owner in a shared space. Please read this is the context of an otherwise very happy visitor who loved the cottage otherwise and will be returning soon hopefully.

Suited us as we had friends close bye

Single bed was a bit squeaky The outside furniture moved about in the strong wind on 1st night Fridge wasn’t that clean

Beautiful location in the countryside. Peaceful and quiet.

The fittings and equipement were rather basic and worn out, not enough cutlery, glasses, etc. The rooms were really cramped and there were no wardrobes to put your stuff in. In some rooms there wasn't enough space to open your suitcases properly. Other than on the beds, naturally. Pans didn't really work on the flat electric cooker hubs beacuse their bottoms were not flat any more. And the cottages with two bedrooms were extremely accoustic - if anyone went to the loo at night, the noise would wake you up.

Scenery and location

We liked the location, close to Campbeltown but still between the fields, very quiet ( except for some beeeh from the sheep) Nice comfy sofa’s and beautiful view from the downstairs window. Did feel a bit tired an cramped. The sheep added to the country vibe as did the sign “bull in field”. Would have like to be able to look more closely to the castle nearby. It was good value for money compared to other self catering homes in the neighbourhood, good for sightseeing Kintyre area. Loved the haggis nachos at the black sheep inn .

The stairs are a bit more awkward and steeper than expected, although the lighting helped, would have like a bit more railing. Tiny windows in the bedrooms made me wonder how on earth we’d escape in case of a fire downstairs!

Location cleanliness newly painted and floors comfortable bed.

No information regarding heating we were cold until sussed out heating.no welcome pack,no pictures Very basic only 2 mugs one main room.Trip hazard as wires going under the bed.
