Situation
The Hollies is situated in the most charming coastal ribbon settlement at Carradale on the eastern side of the Kintyre Peninsula.

The house is located along a quiet track to the north of the very picturesque village and small fishing harbour. The Hollies has a slightly elevated setting from where there are views out across the lower reaches of the Kilbrannan sound and on to the high tops of Arran beyond.

Carradale harbour village has a small provisions store, post office, primary school and two hotels for local dining.

Carradale Bay is a short drive from the property and offers an excellent spot for enjoying the beach and waterfront.

Carradale lies at the centre of a network of forest and coastal walks, and the area is rich in wildlife with numerous bird species, several species of deer, red squirrels, dolphins, seals and otters all frequently seen.

The village has a challenging 9 hole golf course and at Machrihanish (21.7 miles) there are now two of the most challenging and scenic 18 hole links courses in the West of Scotland, Machrihanish and Machrihanish Dunes. Some of the local estates run commercial shoots and there are opportunities to fish on some of the local rivers and hill lochs as well as sea angling in the Kilbrannan Sound. The 3 mile golden beach of Machrihanish Bay is well known for windsurfing and surf canoeing.

The west of Scotland is famed for its scenic sailing and it is possible to safely moor boats in the area with associated chandlery and marina services.

A bus service operates between Carradale harbour and Campbeltown. There is a small airport at Machrihanish with a twice-daily service to and from Glasgow.
The town of Campbeltown is 15.8 miles to the South and has two supermarkets, a full range of shops and professional services, a secondary school, an A&E hospital, leisure facilities (including a modern swimming pool) and a cinema.

From Tarbert there is a ferry link to Portavadie, which gives access to an alternative route to Glasgow via Dunoon and Gourock.

The Hollies is 15 miles to the south of 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 circa 16 miles distant (just off the A83) and connects the Kintyre mainland with Islay, Jura and Colonsay. The Kintyre Express offers regular sailings to Ballycastle in the north of Ireland.
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 crisscrosses the peninsula, connecting communities, landscape, people and produce. The Kintyre Way is 100 miles long in total and with 4 to 7 days’ worth of walking, there is a combination of serious hiking and gentle rambles.
