Kintra is situated in a simply stunning location. The name is derived from Ceann Tragh, the Gaelic for `Head of the Beach’, and it is literally true, this traditional hill farm lies at the end of seven miles of golden beach.

It has been described as “as close to paradise as it’s possible to get” and we would be delighted to welcome you to stay, to camp in the dunes, to relax in our self-catering cottages – all converted from stonebuilt farm buildings – or to stay for Bed and Breakfast in the Victorian farmhouse. We have accommodation to suit everyone, all right next to one of the loveliest beaches on Islay.

Kintra has been in the Mactaggart family since the turn of the 20^th century and we are not entirely objective – we love it here!  Kintra is very much a working hill farm – it’s not the place to come to if you’re looking for a holiday in a slick resort; it is however, the place to come on holiday to if you want to experience Scotland at its unadulterated, natural best.

You can get a sense of Kintra’s beauty for yourself from our webcams (one facing west for the sunset and one facing north along the beach) and from photos in our photo gallery or Flickr. Take a look at Facebook too, to see what others have to say about us.
