Craigard House is a recently converted 1882 Victorian house in Campbeltown, which is near the famous Mull of Kintyre. It is situated in an elevated position on the North side of Campbeltown Loch, about one mile from the town centre, but in a quiet location.

There are four local golf courses, including Machrihanish, which has the recent distinction of being voted as having the finest first hole in the world. There are a considerable number of golf courses available on adjacent islands, such as Islay, Gigha and Arran, all of which are reached by local ferry. The famous courses of Northern Ireland are also just a ferry trip away. An ideal centre for your golfing holiday, Whisky trail or island hopping trip.
