Good to Know

The house comes fully stocked with linens, towels, and firewood, and every room has a hairdryer, tea-making setup, and hot water bottles for the full Scottish experience. The private bar is ours to stock and run ourselves all week. The conservatory has a 9-foot pool table, and the garden has a BBQ, outdoor dining, and a cedar wood hot tub (bring a swimsuit, and use the purple towels, not the white ones). Clachan Village Store is minutes away for groceries and essentials, and Dunskeig Beach is a short walk from the house.

How do I get there?

  • The easiest way to reach Balinakill is by car. Rental cars are readily available at Glasgow Airport. Balinakill is located in Clachan, near Tarbert, approximately a 2.5-hour drive from the airport, with beautiful scenic views along the way.

    We have ample on-site parking available. The nearest EV charging points are at Kennacraig Ferry Terminal (5 miles) and in the village of Tarbert (10 miles). Fuel is available in Clachan and in Lochgilphead.

    When you arrive, drop bags at the front or back door, then park in the car park on the left up the drive. Please keep off the grass!

  • The Citylink 926 coach operates between Glasgow (Buchanan Bus Station) and Campbeltown multiple times daily during the summer months. Services stop in Clachan, conveniently located near the bottom of the Balinakill driveway.
