Situation
The Briny is situated on the west coast of the Kintyre peninsula in a fine coastal position with wonderful westerly views over the adjacent Sound of Gigha towards the island of Gigha itself.

The Briny is just off the A83 which is the main coastal road which connects Tarbert in the north and Campbeltown in the south.

From its immediate coastal setting there are unobstructed sea views across the sound of Gigha to the top of Northern Ireland, the islands of Gigha, Islay and Jura. The Kintyre peninsula benefits from the mild climates created by the Gulf Stream and the western coast of Kintyre has a number of beautiful unspoilt beaches, many of which are virtually on the doorstep of The Briny.

Muasdale is a lovely coastal hamlet about 8 miles to the south where there is a local store which caters for everyday needs and requirements.

The town of Campbeltown is 14 miles further 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.

From Kennacraig (9 miles to the north) there are ferry links to Islay & Jura. From Tarbert there are ferry links to Portavadie on Cowal which gives access to an alternative route to Glasgow via Dunoon and Gourock. In addition, from the eastern side of the peninsula, there is also a short ferry crossing from Claonaig to Lochranza on the island of Arran.

The ferry to beautiful Gigha from Tayinloan is about 5 miles to the south of the property.

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 attracts positive acclaim form the golfing community.. Tarbert has a challenging 18-hole course and there are 9-hole courses in Carradale and on the island of Gigha. The 18-hole Dunvaverty Golf Course is at Southend and the 13.6 mile golden beach of Machrihanish Bay is well known for windsurfing and surf canoeing.

World class sailing is available with access to either Loch Fyne at Tarbert or the west coast and the Inner Hebrides from West Loch Tarbert. The Crinan Canal also connects Loch Fyne at Ardrishaig with Loch Crinan and on to Mull and the Hebrides.

Productive sea fishing from shore and boat is available locally and there are trout and salmon opportunities by permit in surrounding rivers and hill lochs.

The countryside is a delight in which to walk or cycle with nearby access to 90-mile circular Kintyre Way, and there is no shortage of scenic routes and places of archaeological and historical interest to visit.
