Welcome to Balinakill! Country House!
Exclusive Use Victorian Country House available to hire.....
Balinakill is the perfect location for a week or weekend break, team building, family get-togethers, special celebrations, anniversaries, Christmas and New Year or a suprise party! Whatever the event, Balinakill will make the occasion special and memorable. Balinakill comes alive when full of people enjoying themselves and whether you want live music or a quiet ‘time out’ watching the sunset from the upstairs lounge, with a choice of welcoming and comfortable public rooms, we can cater for everyone.
The stock your own bar is often a magnet for those just wanting to chat over a drink, while the dining room allows everyone to sit down to a meal together before ceilidh dancing, partying or just enjoying being together in the oak room or upstairs lounge. A new conservatory room overlooking the garden leads straight onto the barbecue area and is a light, bright room in which to relax or enjoy a game of pool or snooker. While staying in the house you stock your own private bar with your own drinks and serve yourself.
Balinakill is rented on a self catering basis although full or partial catering can be arranged on request.
Balinakill ( pronounced Bal-na-keel ) nestles on a hillside in seven acres of peaceful grounds on the west side of the Kintyre Peninsula in Argyll, easily accessible by air, boat or road. This impressive victorian country house retains a wealth of period features and is set in mature gardens on the edge of the village of Clachan, one of the oldest settlements in Kintyre.
Balinakill has twelve en-suite bedrooms, an additional children’s play/bedroom, three large public rooms ( one with a piano and pool table and 2 with open fires), a fully equipped country kitchen, a grand victorian dining room with silver candelabra and an open fire and a cosy gunroom bar with a wood burning stove. On arrival you will find the house warm with the fires and the stoves set. The rental includes all fuel, bed linen, towels and kitchen accessories together with a small selection of toiletries and cleaning materials. Hairdryers, tea making facilities and hot water bottles are in all rooms. Full laundry and ironing facilities are available for guests’ use.
Your own private bar is left empty for you to stock and run yourselves. There are always at least a few guests who love the novelty of running their own bar! The bar is well equipped and you will find everything you need including ice buckets, cocktail shakers, a bar fridge and glass washer. There are pipes for kegs of real ale and draft beer so ale drinkers can pull their own pints and have their barrel of choice delivered prior to arrival. We are happy to accept drinks/beer deliveries prior to arrival to allow your keg to settle!
