CROSSAIG
Crossaig ia an area of great natural scenic beauty on the eastern side of the Kintyre peninsula with superb views eastward over the Kilbrannan Sound to the Isle of Arran and north to the Isle of Bute and the distant Ayrshire coastline. The property lies on the single track B842 which runs from the village of Skipness, 7 miles to the north, all the way to Southend on the Mull of Kintyre. This scenic single track road takes you to Carradale, and Campbeltown.
 
Approximately 4 miles north of Crossaig, the B8001 runs westward from its junction with the B842 at Claonaig, where the ferry crosses to the Isle of Arran. At it's  western end the B8001 connects to the A83 at Kennacraig, the terminal for the ferries to Islay, Jura and Colonsay. This also takes you to Tarbert.
 
Kilbrannan Sound (Scottish Gaelic: An Caolas Branndanach) is a marine water body in the west of Scotland. It separates the Kintyre Peninsula from the island of Arran. Kilbrannan Sound is the western arm of the lower Firth of Clyde.
 
TARBERT
Tarbert on Loch Fyne is a picturesque fishing village known as the gateway to the beautiful peninsula of Kintyre. Backed by rugged hills and fronting on to an attractive natural harbour. It is built around East Loch Tarbert, an inlet of Loch Fyne, and extends over the isthmus which links the peninsula of Kintyre to Knapdale and West Loch Tarbert. 
 
 
 
 
5 Star VRBO Review - May 2026

Peaceful location and a short ferry ride across to Arran. We got groceries in Tarbert on the way down. Lots of room for our family and we appreciated the supplies for fires in the sitting rooms.

 

5 Star AirBnB Review - May 2026

A wonderful stay here at Crossaig Farmhouse. Ideal for two families, plenty of space with three lounge areas, a large dining table, three bathrooms and the comfiest beds and bedding. The outdoor space was brilliant, especially the summerhouse with stove and a 5 minute walk across the field to the loch. The scenery across to Arran is stunning. We loved the house and location and Lynne was very responsive when needed.

As a base for exploring Kintyre it was perfect and we also visited Arran and Gigha, with the ferry to Arran a 10min drive away and Gigha's 35mins away. Skipness is a lovely place to walk, Tarbert is the nearest shops and we also ventured down to Campbeltown where there was whiskey tasting for some and a walk across to Davaar Island for others. The west of the peninsula was a gorgeous scenic drive back.
Overall we'd recommend Crossaig Farmhouse to any group wanting to explore this beautiful part of Scotland and appreciate amazing views and a comfortable home from home.

 

Excellent House in beautiful countryside

4.8/5 Upfront Reviews - July 2025

We (2 families) stayed a week in this really nice and cozy accomodation. We found everything we needed, the kitchen was really well equipped, the 3 bathroomes were new and very nice. The furnishings of the rooms are really great, we really felt at home in this house.
The surrounding is exceptional and nice quite and every day we enjoyed the view to the ocean.
There was a small problem with the shower at the start, but the caretaker took immediately care of it.
We would come back any Time.

Beautiful location and wonderful home

4.8/5 Upfront Reviews - May 2025

Our stay at Crossaig Farm house was delightful. It’s in the perfect location for so many little drives or cycles that take you to the most glorious beaches. The house itself was beautifully decorated and very spacious with plenty of room for our family. We stayed at the perfect time as we got to see all of the new lambs on the surrounding fields. The view from the property down the open fields and then out onto the water is stunning and so peaceful. Lynne has the place in lovely condition and could not have been more helpful. Thank you so much.

 

5 Star AirBnB Review - January 2025

Crossaig Farm House is on the east side of the peninsula, looking out to Arran. It’s very much the quieter side of the way down to Campbelltown, and the road is single track. Communication with the host was fast and responsive, and when we had an issue it was dealt with promptly. The 7 adults and 2 children found we had lots of space and good places to eat and hang out together.
