The Experience
A remote and rugged setting with much comfort indoors. Stephanie and Adrian are a creative, well-travelled pair and their house is packed with warmth and interest, including local art for sale. Be welcomed by home cooking, sink into the views from the sun lounge, sleep soundly in luxurious, very quiet bedrooms. Breakfasts with a delicious twist will set you up for a wonderful day walking in the footsteps of the first Scots through this fascinating history-steeped landscape. Explore the beach, sea loch and woods, discover ‘Britain’s most beautiful short cut by sea’ and from there sail to the Corryvreckan. You won’t have to go out again in the evening, as the house is licensed and Stephanie and Adrian’s dinners are well worth arranging too.

Stephanie & Adrian, your hospitality, service and friendliness are what makes the Winterton extra special. You made us feel very relaxed and very much at home. Your advice and knowledge of the Crinan & Kilmartin area and its history was an added bonus. The setting of Winterton is beautiful and very tranquil, the sunsets were spectacular. The food was delicious and gave us many ideas to try at home. Tips for other travellers: 1. A walk across the bay to Duntrune Castle and gardens. 2. Historic Kilmartin Glen & Museum. 3. Watching the yachts go through the Crinan Cannal locks.

Lovely. Great chef. Great waiter/advisor of activities. Always cheerful and helpful. Tips for other travellers. Ask Adrian. He is a mine of information on the history of the area, and of places to visit. Restaurants? There seem to be no reasons for these - Winterton is the place to eat. Plenty of cafes for coffee and light snacks in the small communities in the area.

Absolutely wonderful stay with Stephanie and Adrian in their beautiful home. We were made so welcome, our bedroom was extremely comfortable and cosy with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Stephanie will cook an evening meal for you if you wish and it’s an absolute treat, she’s an excellent cook! Adrian is a great host and full of useful local knowledge and history. Our stay was an absolute 10/10, we’re already planning our next visit.

Winterton is a gem of a place. We had the Barra room, which was lovely and comfortable - great bedding, towels and bathroom products (Highland Soap Co). The breakfasts and dinners were incredible, cooked with love and care by Stephanie and served in the guest lounge/conservatory with spectacular views over Kilmartin Glen. Adrian gives excellent suggestions for exploring the local area. We enjoyed beach walks and swimming off the tidal islands, visiting Duntrune Castle gardens and watching the yachts sailing up the Crinan Canal. Still lots more to explore on our next visit - we will be back!

Some places just get it right! I booked Winterton because it looked our sort of place then worried how it would tie in. WELL I AM GLAD I DID! Really can't fault it: Rooms comfortable, quality breakfasts, also the one dinner that we opted to have deliciously cooked by Stephanie. Lovely quiet situation above a gorgeous beach. Adrian couldn't have been more helpful getting a map out each morning and giving great suggestions of places to go. We had not realised what a unique and historical area this 'Cradle of Scotland' is. There is a lot to see. We thoroughly recommend Winterton

Much has been written about Scotland, its history, its natural beauty… However, being immersed in it in Winterton, made alive by Stephanie and Adrian, is a different experience all together. Their love is so contagious... falling in love is the only option. Their hospitality, most delicious food and lovely original architecture creates the framework that makes this all possible.

My husband and I stayed here for a chunk of our honeymoon, and were blown away by Winterton. The location is breathtaking (whatever the weather), with a plethora of activities on the doorstep. We stayed in the ‘Jura’ room which was light, spacious and well decorated. The view from the bathroom (which has the most delectable bath) is glorious! Stephanie and Adrian are fabulous hosts and cooks! We would highly recommend having dinner at Winterton - their passion, thoughtfulness and attention to detail is unparalleled. We cannot wait to come back!

This is a very very special place. That very unusual combination of a fabulous location minutes from a stunning beach, combined with super stylish accommodation, really excellent food and the brilliant briefing sessions with hosts Adrian and Stephanie. Their advice and tips for great walks, boat trips and cafes for lovely lunches framed our whole week. It was a very memorable trip and we will certainly be back.

This is a treat of a place! It’s just special! The ambience , the expansive views , the food , the stylish decor, art, furnishings , ultra comfortable beds and bedrooms, swanky bathrooms. Everything is thoughtfully done. Stephanie is a great cook and we ate in all 3 nights and enjoyed really delicious dinners and breakfasts. Adrian is incredibly helpful with suggestions for wonderful walks and where to go. They are great hosts. Like I say the type of place to go to “treat yourselves”!!

Where do I start...this is an exceptional place to stay with the warmest of welcomes from Adrian and Stephanie that match the warmth and gentle ambience of the accommodation. Inside Winterton is tasteful and elegant but also provides expansive views onto beautiful Kilmartin Glen. Breakfasts are gorgeous and we chose to sample Stephanie's evening meals too - her passion for providing delicious food is clear and we were just delighted by every morsel. The massages are also excellent and work out very well after a good walk and before dinner!

A perfect stay in every way. Beautiful spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds and large ensuite bathrooms. Lots of windows and light. The location was stunning - one of the prettiest places we’ve ever visited. Stephanie and Adrian offer outstanding hospitality. Their attention to details is remarkable. Breakfasts were among the best we’ve had. If you will be in the area and they have availability, thank your lucky stars and book quickly! There is so much to do in the area, and Adrian can advise you on all of it.

Stephanie and Adrian are excellent hosts. The five course breakfast was the best we ever had. Also the dinners were very good. It is a good base to walk from in this beautiful and quiet area. Adrian knows very well where to go and the best spots to visit in this magnificent part of Scotland. We thank Stephanie & Adrian for the good times we had at Winterton B&B.

Thanks to Sawdays for alerting us to Winterton where we stayed last weekend. And thanks to our lovely hosts who were such great company, allowing us to completely retreat but who made us feel so looked after at the same time. We will be back soon. Thanks again x

Stephanie and Adrian were amazing. They were very clear in their communications prior to us arriving and looked after us extremely well during our stay. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious with a great menu choice and home cooked food that is restaurant quality. Our room was clean and comfortable and the views across Kilmartin Glen were fabulous. There are loads of things to see and do in the local area. Adrian has a wealth of knowledge about it all and is happy to suggest possible options. We recommend you visit Dunadd Hillfort, Nether Largie Standing Stones, South Cairn and Temple Wood.
