Hotels in Kintyre
Kintyre is on the extreme west coast of Scotland, joined to the mainland by a narrow isthmus at Tarbert and has all the characteristics of island living without the hassle and expense of ferry crossings (though you can come by ferry as well.)
The peninsula is about forty miles long and contains within it everything which makes Scotland such an attractive holiday destination. Here you will find the hills, lochs, rivers, forests, seascapes, sandy beaches, history and archaeology and the sea food which have made Scotland so famous, but with the addition of those ‘little extras’ which make us almost unique; the palm trees showing the effect of the Gulf Stream, the low rainfall ( less than 40% of the rest of the west of Scotland), the most expensive eagles in the world, the absence of cars( our one traffic warden is the last example of an endangered species), a world class golf course on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean featuring the ‘best first hole in the world’, and is a land which is the very cradle of Celtic Scotland.
For most visitors to Kintyre their first view is of the small fishing village of Tarbert at the head of the peninsula. Whether arriving by road or by ferry the approaches are quite spectacular with the snug harbour full of the bustle of yachts and fishing boats and brightly painted houses, all dominated by the ruins of Robert the Bruce’s castle high on the hill above the village.
Tarbert is a yachtsman’s paradise with a safe harbour and good food and drink in welcoming Hotels and Restaurants; little wonder that it is such a popular stopping off point for boats heading out to the west coast through the Crinan canal, as well as being host to the Scottish Series, the second largest regatta in the U K. The village also hosts a very successful seafood festival and music festival.
The village hosts several ‘Taste of Scotland’ recommended eating places. (probably more so than in any other small area in Scotland), A Contemporary Arts Centre (An Tairbaert),and outstanding fresh fish, shellfish and venison. Much of the locally caught shellfish is destined for markets in Spain and France.
