Delighted with the property which was tastefully decorated, warm and spotlessly clean. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and I’m looking forward to my already booked return. I had to give a score for staff /service to complete the review. I have given an average score purely because I was staying for work, arrived late and left early therefore didn’t meet anyone. All communications have been timely and helpful.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd October 2024:

What a fantastic place We only stayed 1 night but won't hesitate to return. We stayed in the room called Hayloft which was really a small apartment, very well decorated and very comfortable, with everything required for a lovely stay including a small kitchen. Included was a light but very adequate breakfast, served in the adjoining cafe, by 2 very nice and polite young ladies. The staff in the gift shop also very warm and friendly, in all a fantastic place to stay in the region

As we arrived early evening and were not equipped to use the small kitchen we went to eat at the nearby Argyll Hotel, which was recommended in the welcome email. Again a fantastic place lovely food cooked perfectly by nice welcoming people Highly recommended

Would Recommend: Yes

19th October 2024:

Exceptionally friendly, helpful staff. Very clean and modern bedroom with communal kitchen and lounge area. Good breakfast, accommodating food intolerances. Lovely shop on the premises too.

Ardshiel Hotel, Campbeltown is nice for an evening meal - lovely friendly staff there too. Approximately 20 mins away. Approx 20 minutes away from Machrahanish Old course and about 15 mins from Machrahanish Dunes course.

Lovely place and ideal for our needs. Shame that we arrived late and departed early and couldn't enjoy the other facilities. Will hopefully stay again in the future.

Sometimes it is great to escape from the usual cities and traffic, and go to peaceful, quiet location, where the only noises you hear are the birds and the wind blowing through the trees. Highly recommended

Would Recommend: Yes

5th October 2024:

A lovely welcome and a spacious room.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th September 2024:

A wonderful stay. Especially enjoyed the well designed bathroom. Having a tea garden right next door is a perk. Very friendly locals add up to a great stay.

A good staging point to play golf at Machrihanish and not far to take the ferry to Islay.

Would Recommend: Yes

if you are wanting to eat in during the evening there are basic facilities in the communal kitchen/lounge on the ground floor. Lots of outdoor pursuits for able bodied visitors

Staff very helpful and friendly.

Cafe on site very good.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th September 2024:

The room and house overall were excellent! I arrived out of hours, but the instructions to get myself checked in were very clear. The only tiny issue I had was that the room was very cold when I arrived at 5.30pm, and the heating didn't come on until later in the evening. It was also very cold again the next morning. Thankfully the shower was very hot and powerful! As I said only a minor detail for me - overall a lovely stay. Thank you.

If arriving out of hours, ensure you have either eaten already, or bring food with you to cook in the lovely kitchen! Closest eateries are in Campbeltown, and don't deliver as far as I see.

Would Recommend: Yes

All staff members were very friendly and welcoming. The room was homey and comfortable with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights at the Glenbarr House.

There is a complete kitchen for guests to use so it is a good idea to bring food to prepare. Nice coastal walks nearby. No grocery store or restaurants other than the Glenbarr shop and cafe in the village.

Whisper this. The house at Glen Barr is a hidden gem. We had a fabulous stay. The staff were all tremendous and made us really welcome. The property was faultless. Great vacation stop, off the beaten track.

Will suit all travellers, golfers, swimmers, walkers or those who just want to relax. Food on site is fantastic and is perfectly situated for travel to Tarbet or Campbeltown.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th September 2024:

This was an exceptional find, and a real gem. It was a shame it was just for 1 night at the end of our Western Isles tour. I do hope to return though. We had 2 rooms, with 3 in our group. Both rooms were to a really high standard. Pristine in cleanliness and outstanding quality in the bedding and furnishings. There was even a lovely well fitted guest lounge, with a fully fitted kitchen and dining table. As this is in a fairly remote area, the guest room was excellent as we could use it for breakfast, before making an early start. This was kindly packaged and left in the fridge for us. Top marks to the owners. The extra touches like tea/coffee on arrival if before 4pm, was exemplary, and was well received. Thank you thehouse@glenbarr. 👏👏🥳

The beaches on the west coast were fabulous - Westport and Machrihanish. Look out for the beautiful pastel coloured beach huts near Campbeltown Airport. Don’t miss Glenbarr Abbey just round the corner. Lovely single track road between Carradale and Tarbert. Don’t forget to go out and see the sunset over the water, on a nice evening.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th September 2024:

Very nicely appointed accommodation with everything catered for. High quality room and kitchen facilities that are way above the average.

Take the ferry to Gigha as it’s a lovely island to walk around and sample local life and fare.

Beautiful home from home accommodation with absolutely every amenity you would need for a comfortable stay. The rooms are well styled and spacious due to the layout. The staff are super friendly and the attached store and cafe were lovely. It was lovely to interact with fellow guests in the shared kitchen space. Very well stocked kitchen. We did not explore the local area as only stayed for one night. Amazing shower. Very helpful staff.

Beautiful accommodation. Not sure of what the local area offers, however I suspect it's great for walkers.

For dinner with no facilities local you have to go to Campbeltown and that is very hit and miss but apart from that first class especially the suite room

Me and my mum had a great time staying at Glenbarr. The accommodation was very clean and spacious and we found the shared kitchen very useful. The staff at the shop and cafe were incredibly friendly and welcoming and there were good breakfast options. Will definitely recommend others to visit! Thank you for everything!

The location was good for us to travel to Gigha but there aren’t any restaurants or bars walking distance from the accommodation so we brought our own food and ate in the very clean shared kitchen.

12th July 2024:

Absolutely spot on. Lovely facility and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. I have been visiting B&Bs in Scotland for some 40 years and this one will take some beating.

Wonderful scenic area especially around the south of the Kintyre Peninsula area. The Argyll Hotel just down from Glenbarr is a great place to eat but booking is recommended.

Would Recommend: Yes

We have been coming here for about 6 years now we absolutely love it , we are hoping to return next year .The house is spotless and as everything you need .The staff are really really friendly . on our arrival we were greeted by a lovely lady who we’ve met on many occasions she made us so welcome with a complimentary drink in the lovely coffee shop. We were up and about every day before breakfast but we were given a gorgeous breakfast bag each morning . 👏🏻 Many thanks Jackie & Keith

Would Recommend: Yes

8th July 2024:

We loved our stay. Your accommodation is excelllent, and very clean. You are ideally placed for touring Kintyre and the self check in worked well.

We will stay again if back in the area and will recommend to friends and family.

well maintained facilities. Sad all rooms do not have true ensuite facilities but place was small enough that this was a minor issue.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th May 2024:

A great place to stop over. Ideally situated for getting to both Macrihanish, and the ferry from Kennacraig to Islay. We had to leave early on the day of checkout and were provided with a lovely packed breakfast to see us on our way. Thank you.

Argyll Hotel , about 3 miles South, is a good choice for dinner/food. It’s popular, being right on the beach with fabulous views, so advisable to book in advance.

17th May 2024:

Directions very clear. Accommodation very clean, extremely well equipped, and comfortable. Staff were very helpful and the chance to eat breakfast outdoors on a sunny morning, while admiring the flowers in the wee garden centre, was just so nice.

If you can, buy a copy of the wee walks book, ‘40 walks in Kintyre and South Argyll’, author Douglas Milne. (£6.99 at the time of writing.) He includes the breathtaking Machrihanish Beach but lots of other places for nice - and not overly demanding - walks. We ate dinner at the Argyll Hotel, as recommended by the House at Glenbarr, and had a very nice meal. Well made Polish stuffed cabbage and great falafel were two nice surprises on the menu. The Cullen Skink was also very nice.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th May 2024:

Slightly different to most b&b's Very clean great facilities in communal lounge. Bedroom well decorated and comfy. Great stay but sad we didn't get the ordered breakfast bags on our last day. Would recommend and indeed return ourselves when in the area.

Our favourite restaurant was Ardshiel hotel in Campbeltown but we were only staying 3 nights so didn't try many places. Kintyre in early may is covered in colour with both wild flowers and rhododendron and other shrubs.

23rd April 2024:

Absolutely perfect location with fab facilities. Our room in the Hayloft was beautiful, spotlessly clean and the most comfortable bed. We loved sitting out in the seating area within the greenhouse in the evening. I would thoroughly recommend to fellow travellers.

The cafe on site has lovely food and in the evenings we drove into Campbeltown for a take away. I recommend visiting West Port Beach or one of the other beaches nearby, Davaar Island is a fab day out walking (check tide times first) and a visit to the stunning Skipness Castle then pop next door to the smokehouse for some fresh smoked fish and other produce.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th April 2024:

Another excellent stay at thehouse@glenbarr, spotless room and a warm welcome and excellent service from George and the staff in the morning when going for a breakfast with real quality ingrediants

Many areas to explore,local attractions and activities to undertake around the peninsula with fabulous views and coastlines

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd April 2024:

The accommodation was great, roomy, clean and modern. The staff were really friendly and helpful too, offering help and recommendations for things to do.

Glenbarr is not far from the Gigha ferry and is a great spot for exploring the mull of kintyre. We walked down to the lighthouse, tough but worth it.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th March 2024:

Easy to find. Clear instructions. Nice clean bedroom. Nice clean bathroom with powerful shower. Would have preferred en-suite but private bathroom across corridor was fine. Room was a bit cold on arrival but radiator turned up easily. Good 'breakfast in a bag' as stayed over winter season. Nice communal lounge and fully equipped kitchen.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th March 2024:

Room was incredibly warm and modern, very comfortable indeed and clean. Staff very pleasant and the shared kitchen/ lounge was also spotless. I was there during off season so the breakfast was a bag with couple of pastries and juice and yoghurt, not to filling for myself but was still pleasant to have.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd March 2024:

The host was very welcoming and friendly, and gave me suggestions where to dine and visit. The accommodation was lovely. It was very clean and was decorated to give that nice cosy feel. I felt very at home from the minute I stepped through the door.

Friendly welcome to us and our dog in the Garden with fresh scones and coffee. Everything was clean and breakfast was in the refrigurator each morning because it was February. For us this was perfect.

Drive route 66 on Kintyre and walk to the Lighthouse Mull of Kintyre. You will need a good condition for this walk (very steep descending and ascending on the road to reach the Lighthouse. Go to Saddle Beach where the video clip was taken from Paul Mc Cartney’s Mull of Kintyre.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th February 2024:

We were unaware we had been allocated the loft suite which was beautiful clen and well equipment. Due to the circumstances leasing up to our stay which was last minute, we discovered we were the only guests allowing us access to the entire house which we were extremely pleased and happy to use alternative rooms giving my friend easier access due to mobility issues. Unfortunately I left with the keys to the loft house. This was an accident on my part. Liz was wery understanding. Lovely location lovely little shop well equipped

Unfortunately as we had limited time to catch the ferry to Gigha we didn't have sufficient time to explore. Would definitely recommend this place. Beds were outstanding comfortable, had the best sleep

Would Recommend: Yes

29th January 2024:

The staff were friendly and helpful and the ensuite room fully equipped to meet my needs. A big plus is the ability to socialise with other guests in the evening and over breakfast in the shared kitchen/dining/living area. Also the venue is dog friendly - an absolute must given the surrounding environment.

During the winter season there are limited venues open in the vicinity. So, if you don't want to travel to/fro Campbeltown you can do some self catering in the communal kitchen/dining area.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th November 2023:

EVERYTHING… staff were attentive and we didn’t need or want for anything. Everything had been extremely thought out . No guest staying there would feel like they weren’t staying in their own home. The nightlight / torch was absolutely the perfect touch to lighting and in an emergency if needing to go out to your car in the darkness of Scottish nights. I’ve even now ordered one for my home. The breakfast was absolutely so fresh and cooked to perfection. We met up with some friends and the dogs ( clan of spaniels) were also made to feel at home.

West port beach is an absolute must to go to and the Springbank distillery has some of Scotland best whisky. The washback bar was a great place to have a hot chocolate while my husband had a wee dram

Would Recommend: Yes

24th November 2023:

It was a pleasure to meet George and Jodie, who went out of their way to accommodate our needs during our stay, it was very satisfying to see their enthusiasm to managing the business and from what we saw will make the house a great success, we'll done both, looks forward to our next visit

The house and post office are a fabulous location to base yourself when exploring this area of Scotland, the staff here are knowledgeable regarding the area and its close proximity to its closest islands, beaches, coastline & villages. And historical landmarks Make for an unforgettable experiance.

We have stayed before. We used room 'Hebe'. It is on the ground floor, comfortable and warm. The toilet makes a loud mechanical noise when flushed so I worry that it will wake other guests at night. Other than that I would highly recommend the house at Glenbarr I would stay again when in the area.

27th October 2023:

Easy access from key box at front door. Room was large and cosy. Bed firm and comfortable. Tea and coffee provided with biscuits. Milk in the fridge in the shared living/dining/kitchen area. En-suite was a good size with a large shower. Our only negative would be the noise the toilet made when flushed. Our breakfast was included in the price and was taken in the café. Cereal, yogurt and fruit as well as a choice of hot roll was good. We will stay here again when visiting the area.

If travelling out of season check where you can eat as many places are closed. Glenbarr advised us to book a table at a nearby hotel, which we did. The Argyll Hotel serves excellent home made food and is dog friendly.

9th October 2023:

We are frequent users of hotel/Accomadation etc and have never encountered such caring considerate and helpful staff. I can see no room for improvement other than I would urge you to increase your signage on the main road. We stayed on Kintyre a couple of months ago and had no awareness of the excellent deli, remarkably good cafe or the fabulous accomadation.

Beautiful, comfortable and stylish accomadation, excellent staff, do use the great cafe, dog and vegan friendly and the shop is a treasure trove!

Would Recommend: Yes

21st September 2023:

Jody and her team deserve a lot more than 5! We were greeted by name in the shop and soon taken through to the garden centre for a welcome brew. The set up is unusual in a very good way. Shops selling local produce, a garden centre with cafe and choice of sitting inside or out or in the huge greenhouse with plants! As Glenbarr is a bit of a way from places to eat we made use of the excellent kitchen to heat food from the shop. We liked the living area and it made conversation with other guests easy. Everything fresh and bright. Breakfast was good with all we hoped for including friendly service.

We loved exploring Kintyre, though would have enjoyed it more if the roadworks to the lighthouse had been completed at the time of our trip. Campbeltown had plenty of places to visit. The heritage centre is charmingly old-fashioned with fascinating artefacts and a great Kintyre welcome. We liked the tranquility of the Linda McCartney memorial garden behind the cinema. Just a drive along the loch side is atmospheric and picturesque.

Would Recommend: Yes

Very enjoyable stay - a home from home. Staff very friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble.

We had evening meal at Big Jessie's and the Argyll Hotel. Different menu and price ranges, but both excellent in their own way. Booking required for the Argyll. If planning on visiting any of the islands, you can buy tickets, check timetables online, to make the most of your time.

Would Recommend: Yes

8th September 2023:

We were delighted by the standard of the accommodation, the cleanliness was 5 star and the staff were friendly and helpful. We loved Glenbarr as a quiet little village with access to a fantastic beach only minutes away. The general coastline and area is stunning especially in the beautiful weather we had on our trip. One slight comment we would make on breakfast is that there was not enough choice, especially if one is a vegetarian, what we had was nice enough but could have been a little better.

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd September 2023:

Wonderful place to relax and unwind. The staff was absolutely amazing, the food delicious (best scones ever, organic food) and the room spacious, clean and with large extra bathroom. The beaches around are stunning! Highly recommendable, just keep in mind it is remote (needs good planing if you come by bus like me but absolutely doable and all worth it)!

The best place to stay we've had in Scotland. The room was great and the people were better. Just loved our stay.

We were only there for a night so didn't get to explore a great deal close but we went to Skipness Castle from a recommendation from the managers and it was amazing.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th August 2023:

We had a lovely stay, we were made to feel very welcome, had a great room and excellent breakfast. Friendly staff who went above and beyond.

There are plenty of restaurants on the way to and in Campbeltown, Tarbet is nearby and is a great town to stop and have a look at, with woodland and castle walks and nice cafes. A visit to Gigha Island is worth doing too.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd August 2023:

Lovely accommodation. Tastefully upgraded and decorated rooms/bathrooms. Lovely breakfasts provided and staff extremely helpful, knowledgeable and kind. Ideally situated in a small quiet village which is an ideal base to explore Kintyre.

Nearest pub/restaurant is the Argyle Hotel a couple of miles away in Bellochantuy. The restaurant has stunning seaviews over to Jura and Gigha. In the evenings we sat in the grounds of the accommodations garden centre to have some drinks and snacks. Was lovely sitting inside the seated area of the greenhouse for some protection against the wind. Try driving to Southend to The Muneroy stores/tearooms. Quaint, individually decorated tearoom with the most fantastic selection of puddings, cakes, meringues and scones.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st August 2023:

The House at Glenbarr was perfect for our short break, facilities were excellent , beautifully appointed rooms, and the use of a lounge and full kitchen if needed. The shop was really beautifully laid out with a fabulous selection of basics as well as lots of lovely treats /gifts. Breakfast in the cafe was superb and every single member of the team we interacted with was friendly and helpful ,we couldn’t have wished for a more pleasant stay ! We even returned home with a boot full of ceramic pots from the garden centre! Thank you to everyone at Glenbarr, you are bound to go from strength to strength, we hope to return sooner rather than later ! .

This is a wonderful place to stay with easy access to ferries and to Campbeltown and beyond . Breakfast was excellent, the cafe is spacious and has great coffee too! Staff were really welcoming and friendly throughout our stay at Glenbarr.

Lovely overnight stay at this unique property .We stayed mid week and so could only have a continental breakfast but this was lovely and we opted for the bacon rolls .The room was beautifully furnished and the private bathroom across the hall was surprisingly not a problem . The property has a garden centre and shop and in the evening we took our own picnic dinner to the large green house and enjoyed the evening without midge attack .The green house has tables and chairs and a sofa for use with the cafe during the day but for guest to enjoy at night . We didn’t use the kitchen facilities but had a look round and there seemed to be everything we could need . Will stay again when on Kintrye and would recommend this establishment to any fellow travellers.

Great evening meal available 2.8 miles away at the Argyll Hotel ,situated on the beach .Though would recommend trying the green house experience on site.

Seafood platter not as good as before , pickled onions not a good match with seafood and breakfast not as good as before, was always nice to come for breakfast to table set and good choice of options-favourite was scrambled eggs and smoked salmon which is no longer available which was a disappointment. Housekeeping in bedrooms is perfection, cleanliness in whole house is excellent.

A trip to Gigha is always a must with a visit to The Boathouse for seafood lovers as is the Seafood Cabin at Skipness. Campbeltown has good restaurants and cafes too and the fabulous Picture House is a must for film lovers. Glenbarr is the perfect location for catching ferries to Islay and Jura and also Arran.

Exceptional accommodation. The staff very friendly , caring and helpful.

There are no places to eat once the cafe in the garden centre is closed and nothing else in the village or surrounding area. The house however does have a kitchen area in main area or the hayloft has its own for guests to use.

Staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. There was a great selection of breakfast items each morning (croissants were amazing!) and on the day of departure we had a breakfast bag made up for us as we were leaving early. Lovely shop and garden centre attached to accommodation. Tea and coffee facilities were provided in the room. Nice to see local businesses supporting each other - handwash and other products were made locally. Plenty of current local guides/leaflets available. Great location for exploring Kintyre. We had a very relaxing experience here and will definitely be back.

Best food we had was in the Glen Bar in Carradale and the Argyll Hotel just five minutes down the road from Glenbarr. The paninis and soup at the garden centre were delicious and great value for money. There is a Tesco and Co-op in Campbeltown. Highly recommend a trip down to Southend. Saddell Abbey and Castle provided a nice walk and a bit of history.

A beautifully run guest house with friendly, helpful staff always ensuring you have everything you need to enjoy your stay with them.

Perfect location for visiting Jura, Islay and Gigha and Arran. Beautiful beaches are within easy reach of Glenbarr as are the village of Tarbert and the “wee toon” Campbeltown. Golf lovers and whisky enthusiasts are well catered for in and around the nearby islands. Areas of ancient archaeological interest are also present in abundance in surrounding areas. The beautiful Kintyre coastline is the most pleasing place to explore and never disappoints.

We stayed in the Hayloft and found it very comfortable. The kitchen is adequate enough to prepare a simple meal which suited us fine. We were also hugely impressed with the fab breakfasts from the lovely kitchen staff.

The Argyll Hotel is only 5 minutes drive away and does decent food. We also ate out at the Skipness Seafood Cabin. Recommend a day trip to Gigha as a foot passenger and also the walk across the causeway to Davaar Island (if the tide times permit).

The rooms are lovely and clean with more than enough room. Lots of storage to put/hang your clothes. The bathrooms are decent size with fresh fluffy towels and bath robes. Staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The staff are great with dogs, which helps when you have a slightly nervous dog. The breakfast are super and very filling. It's more than just a place to stay with the shop, post office, garden centre and cafe!

Glenbarr is 30ish mins from Campbeltown and Tarbert. Tarbert has lovely harbor with nice shops. The last deli in Tarbert has really nice food and ice creams. There is loads of beaches near by glenbarr so you don't have to travel far. There is a dog friendly place to eat about 5 mins away called Argyll hotel in bellochantuy. The food is lovely at the at the argyle hotel, plus they have a good range of gin's & whiskey's. The sunset while sitting outside the argyle hotel is spectacular. The ferry to Gigha is about 10 mins away from Glenbarr. The ferry leaves on the hour from the mainland and half hour from Gigha. The ferry takes about 12 cars at a time. The carpark isn't huge on the mainland. There is lots to do on Gigha from renting bikes to paddle boards or just walk to a beach. I would recommend going to Keil. The beaches there are stunning, then again nearly all the beaches in kintyre are stunning.

Great stay. Owner and staff very helpful. Clean and bright, quiet location. Close to Gigha ferry port.

Beautiful bed and breakfast in a very peaceful location. Lovely breakfast and very friendly staff. We would come back here if in the area again

The shop and cafe are lovely but only open until 5 in the summer months so you will need to plan ahead and book dinner nearby as the nearest hotel (about 3 miles away) was fully booked the 2 nights we stayed. Not a problem if you are willing to drive further for dinner. There is a lovely shared lounge and kitchen area to eat if you order platters from the cafe to have at night when you return to the house.

Would Recommend: Yes

Excellent staff. Only could stay one night due to personal commitments. Would have loved to stay longer. This was a very important long awaited break for us and they certainly helped us to enjoy our stay. Thank you to you all. We will be back.

Excellent meal at the Harbourview Restaurant at the Royal Hotel in Campbeltown. Good attentive staff also.

The house and room were exceptionally clean and quiet. Highly recommended.

I marked location as 3 as it was not the area that I had hoped to be staying in as I had work commitments in another town which was 40 mins north and there is very little nearby - which may be of strong appeal to other guests. This is not a negative comment on the location itself though as the views and area near the house are world class and I wish that I had longer there to enjoy them.

Five minutes late for orders but they agreed to do burgers for us. Much appreciated. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Good communication onsite too. Definitely recommended.

After they close, the café seating is available out the back which was great on a sunny evening but there's also seating inside the greenhouse area too. Twenty minutes walk down to the beach at the caravan site with views to Islay and Jura. Shop has nice selection of cheese and smoked foods. Platters were ideal for our appetite, but you'd need one per person as a main course for evening meal. Enjoyed the experience . If coming this way again would definitely book. We had Hay loft which was en suite.

Shared lounge with comfy sofas, table and chairs and kitchen area which was very well equipped. Excellent breakfast with a very good choice. Lovely friendly staff both for the B&B, shop and cafe. Nothing was too much trouble. Fabulous garden centre at the rear. The owner Zofia took the time to introduce herself to us at breakfast and have a chat which we thought was a nice touch. Special thanks to Eleanor for organising soup for our return from our day trip. Highly recommend.
