4- and 5-star hotels in Campbeltown
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star stays in Campbeltown, on the Kintyre peninsula. It is for travellers who want the area's top-class addresses, from a five-star guest house to golf-side hotels and self-catering cottages.
Staying in Campbeltown
Campbeltown sits at the end of the Kintyre peninsula, a small town where the listed properties are scattered along the coast and its approaches: Main Street in the town itself, Peninver, Machrihanish, Carradale and the Kintyre Peninsular. Addresses such as Witchburn Road and Port Righ Carradale point to quiet edges rather than a dense city centre, so a car shapes how you move between them.
The mix suits different trips. Couples and short-break visitors have the five-star Carradales Luxury Guest House, with a restaurant, bar, garden and terrace, and the 4-star The Royal Hotel on Main Street, with a restaurant, bar and sea-facing setting. Families and longer stays are served by properties with kitchens, cots and family rooms, among them Midcraigs, Fonn Na Mara, Inveroran and The Ugadale Hotel and Cottages. Golfers and those wanting spa and pool facilities have Fonn Na Mara, with its spa and indoor pool, and The Ugadale Hotel and Cottages beside the Machrihanish links.
