Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Kintyre

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!!

Port Ellen is the gem of Islay, and this is the gem of Port Ellen! Lovely house - had all the amenities we needed. The location and view are AMAZING. The photos don’t do it justice. We throughly enjoyed beach combing just right outside the front door! Keren was a gracious host. We would definitely return if we find ourselves on Isley again!

We have just got back from a fantastic week at The Barn in Ardfern. Cameron’s dad Phil lives nearby and he gave us lots of good tips for places to see. He was also a lovely friendly person to chat to. The Barn is very private and peaceful. Inside it is fantastically designed, comfortable, with everything we could need - a beautiful kitchen, crisp white bed linen, lovely bath and shower, and nice milk, biscuits and wine to welcome us. Places not to miss are Arduaine garden, Crarae garden, Ardmaddy garden and Crinan canal for walking or cycling. Lucy’s in the village was lovely for breakfast, lunch or coffee & cake. Just five minute walk up the hill near The Barn is a splendid view on the surrounding Lochs. We also went to Iona (book ahead with CalMac or West Coast Tours) - it was great getting the bus between ferries rather than driving. The ferries get very booked up at this time of year. Altogether we could not have asked for a lovelier week- thanks so much Phil Abi and Cameron.

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.

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.

What a lovely Wee House! We enjoyed our stay tremendously and felt really comfortable. Amazing view to the whole of the Port Ellen waterfront and easy location for the Three Distilleries Walk.

Great well equipped house, amazing views, walking distance to the pub, loads of hot water, comfy beds and sofas, everything worked. Dog friendly. No off road parking but there was always plenty of space on the road in front of the house

A sweet humble traditional village house, extremely clean and in a fantastic location. All the basics you may need. A beautiful beach literally through the dunes at the bottom of the garden. Thank you for a lovely short stay.

A really wonderful studio to feel good and relax in. The kitchen is very well equipped, everything is clean and tidy. We were allowed to use the bicycles and were able to explore the island very well. Una and Steward are very attentive hosts, always approachable and helpful. Hope we'll come back!

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb during Christmas! The cozy atmosphere, prime location, and festive surroundings made it a memorable holiday experience.

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.

Great location and well equipped space!

This was my second stay at Jeanette’s lovely apartment on the shore front at Troon. Jeanette was a lovely accommodating host; excellent communication, she provided breakfast foods, tea, coffee and lots of sweet treats. The bathroom was fully stocked with all essentials also. The kitchen had all you would need to self cater should you wish to do so. I highly recommend this lovely apartment in a beautiful part of Scotland. Thank you Jeanette.

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

Great location. Good communication with host. Clean, spacious and well equipped property. Would definitely recommend and stay again thank you. Perfect base for our stay in Arran

Beautiful place with lots of amenities and special touches. Great communication with hosts who were very friendly and attentive.

Great flat in Campbeltown—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located! It’s right next to Cadenhead Distillery and just a short walk to restaurants and other local spots. We stayed overnight on our way to Islay, but loved it so much we’re already planning to come back and explore more of the area.

We had an excellent stay at Cobblerview Apartment! The view was, of course, gorgeous - but the care that Carol & Don took in ensuring our stay was comfortable was greatly appreciated and made our experience especially enjoyable. The apartment is cosy and immediately inviting, with a sizable living room space and dining table positioned next to the window and looking out onto Loch Long. Though the view you have of the loch itself is expansive, we never felt as though we didn’t have enough privacy - aside from this window out onto the water, almost all of the natural light that filters in is through skylights. We never needed for utensils or utilities, Carol & Don provided a full range of crockery, cleaning supplies and towels It’s worth bearing in mind that as this is a waterfront property, the bugs are in abundance around summer and you’ll need to have your spray on if you want to sit out on the balcony this time of year!

We had a lovely stay in Dunoon, it is a very quiet a peaceful place and we really enjoyed our stay. Paddy is friendly and helpful and her dog is beautiful and very sweet. Both beds were very comfortable, the shower was warm and powerful and the homemade bread was a great touch- we thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you again :)

We loved staying at Jill’s place. The views of the lake are incredible. Can definitely recommend it.

Great place to stay for exploring the more rural parts of Scotland. Beautiful, unspoiled countryside. the rain we had just enhanced the beauty of the mountains and rivers. The flat had amazing views from the window. it was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We would certainly recommend it to friends.

A perfect little flat for a couple and their furry children! We cannot wait to return!
