The property was exactly as described and in a fantastic location. We wanted somewhere off the beaten path, but still close enough for trips out, and it struck that balance perfectly.The property has great facilities, including excellent heating and a lovely fire, which made it really cosy and comfortable throughout our stay.The electric car charger was a great bonus, and being able to arrange a food delivery in advance made things really easy. The nearest town is about a 30-minute drive through beautiful countryside, which suited us as we were looking for a more rural, peaceful stay with no traffic or city noise.The views were stunning, and the host was friendly, helpful, and communicated really well throughout. I’d definitely recommend staying here.

We loved staying at Barr-beite for 8 days, the views are breathtaking at any time of the day and under any type of weather, and for nature lovers it’s the perfect spot to do birdwatching. The house is very comfortable and airy, with 3 large bedrooms and many cosy places to sit and relax, indoors and outdoor. We particularly enjoyed the good size kitchen with nice views on the Galloway cows nearby. The fireplace in the living room is a bonus to make evenings more cosy. The house can easily fit 6 people by its layout, and have 1 bathroom and 1 shower room, both with toilets.Catriona is a perfect hostess very easy to communicate with and who is ready to adapt to her guest requests. She had a list of things to do around prepared for us which was very useful as we didn’t know the area.The only watch out is the single track which leads to the cottage which is about 10 miles long, that one needs to get accustomed to, but the area is so quiet, you hardly meet any other cars on the way. You also need to plan your grocery shopping accordingly.Overall we had a wonderful time and are thinking about coming back next year, as the place has a lot to offer and is very well located to explore the Highlands beauty.

Amazing views of highlands and lakes

We really loved the property, its surroundings and the views. Very picturesque and quiet location, no neighbors – just you and nature. Views of the front garden and the lake down the hill are amazing. Plenty of mountains, castle ruins and trails to explore around the lake. We greatly enjoyed our stay in this lovely house, which did provide everything we need for a nice family get away. The host is very responsive and assists with every needs, greatly appreciated!

Another great trip to the highlands

We all had a great time during our stay at this lovely, peaceful cottage. The cottage was a little further off the main road than expected but this added to its charm. We organized our food shopping early on in the week and spent our evenings relaxing in the cottage looking at the spectacular views from most rooms. We did lots of walking and climbing and it was a pleasure to come back to this warm, cosy cottage at the end of the day.

Lovely

A very nice house, very clean and spacious. Great shower and good beds. Kitchen well equipped. The garden is lovely, great views over the lake. Lots of privacy and remote. It does take some time to get to the main (larger) road - driving over a very narrow street along the lake is quite challenging for folks from Europe!

This has to be the best holiday home I've stayed in because that's what it felt like, home. So chilled in the accommodation. The view over loch awe was spectacular. Catriona and Martin were great hosts. Nothing was any trouble,even were delivery drivers for my amazon orders when it went to their farm instead instead of barr beithe. Thank you for that. I've booked again for next year. It would be rude not to, the place is fantastic

De cottage van Catriona is fantastisch! Alles is aanwezig, het is zeer ruim, netjes en schoon en het ligt geweldig. Je hebt alle vrijheid en het uitzicht is fabuleus. We hebben genoten en zelfs gezwommen in het meer, 3 minuten lopen, onderaan de oprit. Het is erg rustig en er komt weinig verkeer langs. Catriona is bijzonder vriendelijk en helpt aan alle kanten. Ze heeft een overzichtelijk A4-tje met activiteiten in de buurt in het huis gelegd. E-lader voor de auto was erg handig. Een verblijf hier is bijzonder aan te bevelen.

Picture-perfect on Loch Awe-some!

You know it is going to be a good day at Barr-Beithe Upper when you draw the curtains in the morning and your view of Loch Awe-some is framed by blooming azaleas and rhododendrons! Although we knew the cottage would be too big for just the two of us, we picked it anyway because of the location and the garden and we were not disappointed. We were pleased to see that it is also very well-appointed with high-end appliances, good quality cookware and a great shower! Catriona's communication and recommendations were very helpful and her cheery smile made us feel genuinely welcome.

Excellent week on Loch Awe

Lovely cottage with amazing views and a terrific location. We really enjoyed our week staying on and travelling around Loch Awe. Catriona could not have been a more welcoming and effective host, and her extensive recommendations on where to go were spot on. Cottage was immaculate, very well equipped and Covid precautions were excellent. Highly recommended.

Peaceful house with stunning views

This is a beautiful place to stay. We barely left the property and spent most of the time paddleboarding on the loch, which you can walk down to. The house is very well equipped with comfy beds and Catriona was a great host.

Short stay at Upper Barr Beithe

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at Upper Barr Beithe and have had a fabulous time. The cottage is set back off the road with fabulous views of the Loch and surrounding area. It is spacious, clean and homely. There is plenty of storage space and an area for taking off coats, boots etc. The Property Manager, Catriona was very helpful and answered any queries we had before and during our stay very quickly. Really couldn’t fault the place and would definitely recommend.

Fantastic Cottage and Location

A superb cottage tucked well out of the way from everything. Couldn’t have asked for any more, owner Catriona couldn’t have done any more for us. Cottage had everything you could ask for and was very well presented. Location is tucked away but that’s what we wanted, walking on the doorstep and spectacular views. Fantastic relaxing week. Would stay again.

Lovely holiday in Loch Awe

We had a wonderful family holiday in a lovely cottage with fantastic views overlooking Loch Awe to the front and hills to the back. Large well stocked clean kitchen, living room with great views and a sunroom leading out to the garden from where we could observe many birds. The bedrooms were all very clean and comfortable. We managed lots of local walks including hiking around Crinan Canal and.climbing up Ben Cruachan. In short a great place to stay and highly recommended!!

Fantastic views, peaceful location

The property was spacious, comfortable and very clean. Catriona made extra efforts to make us feel safe and comfortable even though we are in the middle of the covid pandemic. The location of the property is perfect for a quiet break, with lovely views of the loch and it is the perfect place for relaxing, exploring, cycling and kayaking. Looking forward to a return visit now!

A lovely home from home with magnificent views

We arrived late afternoon, after a long journey from Leeds but immediately felt at home. Catriona gave us a couple of hours before she came to check all was ok. She didn't come in, owing to Covid 19 but explained everything from the doorstep. Our two teenage grandsons took the back twin room, leaving the two front rooms with beautiful views of the loch for their Mum and my husband and I. The bungalow was spotlessly clean and the two bathrooms were very useful with five of us together. The narrow roads with passing places made for longish journies when visiting places of interest but we all had a lovely time, visiting Oban, the Crinnan canal, Inverary Jail, Mull of Kintyre amongst other places. I would recommend this peaceful bungalow highly.

Das alles, ergänzt durch den sehr angenehmen Kontakt zu Catriona und die im Umkreis von 60 bis 90 Minuten Fahrzeit erreichbaren Ziele aller Art garantiert einen perfekten Urlaub für Entdecker und Geniesser .

Un séjour inoubliable au coeur de la nature.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'aménagement du cottage, on s'y sent chez soi. L'accès est un peu difficile en voiture mais une fois arrivés on est en pleine nature et c'est magnifique! Merci à Catriona pour son accueil et ses conseils.
