Kilchrist Castle Cottages

We liked the rural location and its central location to the attractions we had planned.

We hated the smell of dampness in the cottage and there were signs of mould on some of the paintwork and windows. Felt the whole cottage was well overdue a coat of paint.

The lawn had not been mown which is a shame when you want to eat outside. There was a leak on a pipe next to the toilet. One sheet was missing for the bed on the sofa bed otherwise everything was OK.

Location was good

The track up to property was a bit bumpy & rough

Well equipped..good value..remote location but everywhere an easy drive

Nothing...could do with a cheap cordless hoover and a few big pans

The cottages are to be found a short drive from Campbeltown in a quiet location and easy to find, clearly signposted from the road which also gives easy access to the south of Kintyre. MacLeod cottage is a good size for one or two people and comfortably appointed. Plenty of parking space adjacent to the cottage. Quite good dark skies if you like stargazing.

On arrival I found a handwritten note and a bottle of wine left as an apology for the fact that the refrigerator wasn't working. Leaving aside the obvious assumptions this information should have been communicated in advance, even a message on the morning of my arrival would have helped so that I could have planned accordingly. (The suggestion that I could use a refrigerator located in the laundry shed wasn't really practical since this was located at the far end of the compound and who wants to go outside every time they want to make a cuppa or cook a meal?) WiFi was very slow when the other cottages were occupied and sharing the limited bandwidth. Shower room is a bit cramped.

the location was perfect for our trip

The cottage could do with more ctlery nd perhaps some sharp knives but apart from that everything else was well catered for.
