This lovely, detached property offers uninterrupted views out across the Sound of Kintyre towards the islands of Islay, Jura and Gigha, and on exceptionally clear days, the coastline of Northern Ireland is also visible, 14 miles away. The Kintyre Way Walk passes through the back of the farmyard onto the higher hill with Cnoc Moy dominating the skyline.

Hilltop Farm

Bungalow was up a long lane to the top of a hill that looked over Machrihanish. Gorgeous setting with farmland and farm animals all around. The house was extremely well outfitted and all utilities worked well with no problems. There was immediate access to The Kintyre Way hiking trail that provided more spectacular views. We stayed here while on a golf focused holiday. Access to islands ny ferry is relatively close. We loved our stay.
