In the heart of Kilmartin Glen. This holiday property is beside the owner’s home in the middle of Kilmartin Glen in the heart of Mid Argyll, an area of beautiful scenery, steeped in history and rich in wildlife. The Glen is one of the most important prehistoric sites on the Scottish mainland, and there are a wealth of standing stones, stone circles, cairns and rock carvings to explore, dating from the Neolithic and early Bronze Age, with the remains of Dunadd Fort, home of the ancient kings of Scotland, just four miles away. This is an ideal base to explore the varied coastline of Argyll and Bute and discover its unspoilt beaches, or to walk or cycle along miles of forest tracks looking out for birds and wildlife. 8 miles north of Lochgilphead, and 30 miles south of the busy ferry port of Oban, with easy access to ferries to Islay, Jura, Arran, Gigha, Mull and Iona. Explore the Mull of Kintyre, walk along the banks of the Crinan Canal, or take a cruise to see the famous Corryvreckan whirlpool. Try sailing, fishing or riding or explore some of the famous gardens and castles nearby. This property offers a comfortable base for a relaxing holiday. Shop and pub 1 mile.

We were a group of 7 bird watchers up in Kintyre to undertake winter bird surveys for the British Trust for Ornithology. Factor's House worked well for us (out all day) and was very comfortable and well equipped for evening meals. Only suggestion is that an outside light over the front door would help.

Very comfortable house in a beautiful and quiet location. Only let down by poor wifi. Phone signal on two networks also a bit patchy but not unexpected due to location. Also the need to pay extra for your gas usage during your stay should be made much clearer in the booking process

Slightly disappointed that maintenance work was needed to the roof during our stay
