The Machrie Bay Plot has far reaching views over the Kilbrannan Sound, Machrie Bay and the hillsides to the Northeast, sitting adjacent to a row of four houses within Machrie, which includes Machrie House.
Machrie is home to a 9-hole links golf course, tea room, tennis court and putting green. With views of the golf course from the site, it also boasts un-interrupted views of Machrie Bay across to Saddell, Torrisdale and the west coat of Scotland.

The famour King’s Cave is closeby, additionally, it is worthwhile noting that the site itself is set within a National Scenic Area and is deemed as a Special Landscape Area.
