Craigard House Hotel, Campbeltown

A warm welcome awaits you at the Mull of Kintyre. Craigard House Hotel occupies an imposing position overlooking Campbeltown Loch (already two famous songs – and this is only the first paragraph!).

A recently converted Victorian mansion with an interesting and varied history, the Craigard House Hotel offers a friendly and informal stay, in thirteen comfortable and well-appointed rooms – most with glorious sea views.  The hotel still retains many original features, such as the ornate cornice-work on the ceilings, and the painted glass windows. 

There is much to do locally, with two World Class Classic Links Golf Courses to choose from - Machrihanish GC is a classic World Top 100 course, with arguably the best first hole in the world (guests of this hotel benefit from 10% discount on Green Fees); while Machrihanish Dunes GC is a newly opened course designed by a World Top 40 designer (Bandon Dunes, Oregon; Castle Course, St Andrews). Along with Dunaverty GC; various watersports; hiking the Kintyre Way; Distillery visits; The Owl Centre there is plenty to keep you occupied – if you can tear your eyes away from the wonderful scenery...

Carraig sits on the shores of the Atlantic in Machrihanish, a small village on the Kintyre Peninsular within a short drive of the famous Mull of Kintyre.  Access from the back garden leads directly onto the beach with spectacular views and sunsets with a wealth of different sea birds and wildlife literally on the doorstep.

This comfortable room personifies the country house ambience. Squidgy chairs, books and magazines, some toys & games, and a choice of music and wide-screen TV on tap. Aperitifs and after dinner drinks are enjoyed here, or just spend a peaceful hour with a pot of Afternoon Tea - enjoying the view of the busy sea loch. To complement your food, we have a wide ranging wine list, with many favourites from the Old World and many choices from the New World. Along with a fully stocked bar, there is also a selection of Malt Whiskies from all over Scotland, particularly the West Coast, with emphasis on Campbeltown Distilleries – Springbank and Glen Scotia expressions.

There is ample parking close to the hotel, as well as a large car park to the rear. There is also a disabled parking space.

Our aim is to ensure that Craigard is the Hotel in which we would like to stay – if we were away from home.

We look forward to welcoming you, Roger and Lori
