With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Campbeltown, 40 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here ought to be Springbank Distillery, Machrihanish Beach and Campbeltown Cross. Don’t miss Ayr either! Just 40 miles away, Ayr Beach, Brig O’Doon and Royal Troon Golf Club are must-sees here.
