Alive with history and rich with romance this beautiful converted chapel built in 1887, is located in a small hamlet on the east coast of Kintyre. It has wooden scissor beams throughout and has wonderful views over the Kilbrannan Sound to the isle of Arran. You are within yards of Grogport's safe and sandy beach with its beautiful clear waters. This spot was once a secret haven for whisky smuggling and gives a clue to the origins of its name.

Surrounded by the glorious Kintyre countryside, visitors will have ample opportunity to see an abundance of wildlife including seals, basking sharks, birds of prey and deer. Kintyre offers sea and river fishing, golf, pony trecking, sailing and cycling. There are many coastal, countryside and forest walks together with a number of historical sites to visit.
A 5 minute drive will take you to Carradale with its superb long sandy beach. It has a small harour where local fisherman still ply their trade. Carradale has a small shop/garage, and a couple of restaurant/bars.
14 miles to the south lies Campbeltown. Amenities include shops, supermarkets, pubs and restaurants, plus the oldest cinema in Scotland. Take a tour of the springbank distillery. There is a new recreation centre with swimming pool.
