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.
