Situation
Achavit is situated in the small hamlet of Dunmore which is about 7 miles due west of the Argyllshire harbour town of Tarbert. The house is set amid country and coastal gardens from where there are sublime views out across West Loch Tarbert towards Kilchamaig and the land mass which forms the northern end of the Mull of Kintyre. The location is extremely peaceful, with wonderful wildlife and the house is just off the minor single-track road which leads to Kilberry. Tarbert is a picturesque West of Scotland fishing harbour town situated on the sheltered eastern side of the Kintyre peninsula, about 14 miles to the south of Lochgilphead and about 36 miles to the north of Campbeltown. Tarbert has a number of friendly harbour side pubs and restaurants. It is renowned for hosting the annual Scottish Series Yachting Event and its seafood and folk festivals. Tarbert has primary and secondary schooling as well as a range of specialist shops and a midi sized Co-op supermarket all of which combine to provide for most daily needs and requirements. From Tarbert there is a ferry link to Portavadie, which gives access to an alternative route to Glasgow via Dunoon and Gourock 18 miles away to the east is the picturesque little ferry port of Claonaig, by Skipness, which connects Lochranza on the island of Arran to the Kintyre peninsula, whilst the Kennacraig ferry is 10 miles east, just off the A83, and connects the Kintyre mainland with Islay, Jura and Colonsay. The Caledonian Ferries are always a pleasant sight as they move back and forth across West Loch Tarbert.
The A83 leads to Lochgilphead and Campbeltown (24 and 40 miles respectively) both offering fuller shopping and professional services. The latter is the main shopping town for the peninsula and provides a further range of facilities including supermarkets, garages, the award winning ‘Aqualibrium’ leisure centre and library, a hospital, and a cinema. The hospital has an air-ambulance service to the Southern General hospital in Glasgow for emergencies. Campbeltown holds an annual regatta, a week-long music festival and the Mull of Kintyre half marathon. For sporting/outdoor enthusiasts, the links course of Machrihanish is of international acclaim and attracts many visitors. A new 18-hole golf course known as the Machrihanish Dunes Golf Club has also recently opened. Tarbert has a challenging 18-hole course and there are 9-hole courses in Carradale and on the island of Gigha. The beach of Machrihanish Bay is well known for windsurfing and surf canoeing. Some of the most scenic sailing in the world is available with access to either Loch Fyne at Tarbert or the west coast and the Inner Hebrides from West Loch Tarbert. The Crinan Canal also connects Loch Fyne at Ardrishaig with Loch Crinan and on to Mull and the Hebrides. Tarbert has its own sheltered marina and moorings and across the Fyne at Portavadie is a recently opened marina; both have associated marina and chandlery services. Productive sea fishing from shore and boat is available locally and there are trout and salmon opportunities by permit in surrounding rivers and hill lochs. The countryside is a delight in which to walk or cycle and there is no shortage of scenic routes and places of archaeological and historical interest to visit. The islands of Davaar and Gigha are nearby and are steeped in history, with stunning scenery and landscapes which attract an abundance of wildlife. A long-distance footpath called the Kintyre Way was completed in 2006 and stretches from Tarbert at the north end of the peninsula, to Southend in the south and criss-crosses the peninsula, connecting communities and landscape, people and produce. The Kintyre Way is 89 miles long in total and provides 4 to 7 days worth of walking. There is serious hiking and gentle rambles.
