Overview

“One of the best views I have ever seen.”

In easy reach by foot and by car there are clean sandy beaches, and peace and tranquillity in abundance. Here you can savour fresh, clean air and the sound of silence. There are plenty of excellent walks around Skipness and in addition the house is near the path for the Kintyre Way Route.

Skipness has a lovingly restored 13th century Castle, and a ruined chapel and graveyard with ancient grave slabs. There is a local shop and post office and also The Seafood Cabin, which is open during the summer months, serving fresh local seafood in a breathtaking setting.

Coalfin House makes an excellent base to explore the Kintyre peninsula and nearby islands of Arran, Gigha, Jura and Islay. Arran is the closest with a 20 minute journey by ferry, and the other island ferries are easily accessed within a short drive.
