4.7/5 Star Upfront Reviews - May 2025
Very spacious house with all mod cons. Could watch the ferries going to Islay but they are not very often and could not hear any traffic noise in the house from the A 83. Watched sheep and geese in the field. Need to use apps to watch the television, would suggest a Freesat box and dish so terrestrial channels are easy to access. Good WiFi so we just connected a laptop and watched through our own Sky subscription. Tarbert is 7mins away and we would recommend the Red Herring takeaway! The recommended beaches are lovely.
5/5 Star VRBO Review - May 2025
We had a marvellous time staying at Kennacraig with our two young girls and grandparents. The weather was amazing, sunshine everyday for 6 days. We were very impressed with everything provided in the Lodge and the views and outdoor space were fantastic. We went to a local wedding and wanted to make a holiday out of the trip, it all worked out perfectly. We contacted the manager once and they responded promptly.
Wonderful Amenities and Lovely Location.5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - May 2024Absolute best lodging of our trip. We decided to make our ferry journey to Islay as frictionless as possible and booked the lodge to have an extremely chill time enjoying the Kintyre Peninsula and not have to rush to the ferry in the morning. This lodge has a lot of rooms with comfortable beds and well appointed bathrooms with excellent water pressure and enough space to turn around in. There are games and books to while away the time if you so choose.The kitchen is completely stocked with all manner of pans, pots and appliances to make everything a breeze. Although we had fewer people than originally planned, this place would have hosted more people without anyone getting on top of each other. We were very comfortable and relaxed here and would stay here again in a heartbeat.
We also had wonderful service from David Bridge of PEP Cars who helped us explore the area.
Holiday Heaven!5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - September 2023A fabulous house in an excellent location for touring the Kintyre Peninsula and Islands around it. Whether rain or shine the house is a great place to be and being able to watch the Islay ferries come and go is a bonus.
Glorious Kintyre5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - May 2023A great property, thoughtfully and tastefully presented with great backup from booking to leaving. A restful feeling hung over our complete stay, fantastic.
Absolute perfection!5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - April 2023What a place Kennacraig Lodge is!It has EVERYTHING you could possibly wish for. Just turn up with clothes and food and you’re sorted. We’ll remember that for next time! My family and I had the most perfect long weekend away at Kennacraig Lodge. It was so clean and everything was in exceptionally good order. There was even a lovely welcome pack with all kinds of goodies. Our kids have already been asking when we can go back!
