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.

Reviews

Nick, Exeter

What a Wonderful stay we have had with Stephanie and Adrian at Winterton …. The best hosts, fabulous B and B in the most gorgeous location. Absolutely delicious food as well. Thank you. We have LOVED our time there. X x We have done a lot of driving and enjoyed every mile!


Julie, London

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!


Cilla, Shipbourne

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


Martina, Bavaria

A 5 Star B&B with the coziest bed rooms, towels to sink into, rooms with a view, highland surroundings full of history and hosts with a golden heart. This is the perfect place for a honeymoon. There is nothing left to wish for. Thank you Stephanie and Adrian for this magical week in Winterton ‚Castle‘.


Nistal, Nova Scotia

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.

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Stephanie Schwind-Parsons

  • On our doorstep is SEA LOCH CRINAN where you can while away the hours beach combing along miles of sand when the tide is out, looking out towards the isles of JURA, SCARBA and MULL and splashing through shallow pools.
  • Not far from Winterton is MOINE MHOR nature reserve (one of Britain's finest peat-bog habitats for all kinds of flora and fauna). Walk or cycle along the famous CRINAN CANAL between Crinan and Ardrishaig - 14km in total.
