Bridge House is situated on the west coast of the Kintyre peninsula in the delightful little hamlet of Tayinloan. The house enjoys a pretty riverbank situation beside the old local rustic stone bridge.

The cottage is a short walk from the beach where there are glorious sea views towards the islands of Cara, Gigha, Islay and Jura. The Mull of Kintyre is an area of natural scenic beauty which has always drawn people, and it benefits from the mild climates created by the gulf stream.

The local doctors surgery in Muasdale is a five minute drive away and only a short distance from Muasdale stores, voted Scotlands best local village shop in 2025. The town of Campbeltown is 18 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.

Tayinloan is home to the ferry terminal which connects the mainland of the Mull of Kintyre with the pretty coastal Island of Gigha.

From Tarbert there are ferry links to Islay and Portavadie, which gives access to an alternative route to Glasgow via Dunoon and Gourock.

For sporting/outdoor enthusiasts, the links course of Machrihanish is of international acclaim and attracts many visitors. An additional 18-hole golf course known as the Machrihanish Dunes Golf Club has also recently opened. Tarbert has a challenging 9 hole course and there are further 9-hole courses in Carradale and on the island of Gigha. The 18-hole Dunvaverty Golf Course is at Southend. The 3 mile golden beach of Machrihanish Bay is well known for windsurfing and surf canoeing.
