Other places to stay in and around Campbeltown
If
you seek hotel accommodation in 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 many with glorious sea views.
The Lochside Restaurant specialises in freshly prepared local seafood and shellfish from Kintyre waters; meat and game from local farms; cheese and produce from the local area.
Vegetarian options are always available, and all dietary needs can be catered for with advance notice. Campbeltown lies at the foot of the Kintyre Peninsula; whether your journey is by road, sea or air - once here, you have already experienced some of the wonderful scenery to be encountered on either coast.
While the Atlantic coast offers white-topped rollers cascading onto sandy beaches - in addition to the superb views of the off-shore islands, Gigha, Islay and Jura, and the glimpses of the Irish Coast to the West; the East Coast offers the more gentle waters of the Firth of Clyde, with fine coastal views and the stark grandeur of the Isle of Arran nearby.
Whether your visit is inspired by business or tourism; a love of dramatic scenery; Golf; Whisky; or a desire to retrace your roots - the staff of the Craigard House Hotel are committed to make your stay comfortable and, above all, enjoyable. Their aim is to ensure that Craigard is the Hotel in which we would like to stay if we were away from home.
