Barr na Criche cottage
Excellent cottage in lovely quiet location. Beautifully clean with super comfy beds. Everything you need is supplied. Only slight negative are the old heaters and outdated kitchen equipment eg toaster & cooker ( but all work fine). Amanda & Peter have provided a folder full of ideas for things to see and do, local maps etc. Ideal base for the Kintyre area.

A perfect escape from life
The moment we stepped into this little cottage it was a breath of fresh air and truly a rest for the soul in such stunning surroundings. With a pre teen and teen who were happy with Wi-Fi and walks not to mention the horses

Wonderful place, lovely thoughtful hosts
A great place for wildlife and windy walks and evenings by the wood stove. The beach hut a great place to pass the time. We (mum, dad, and 2 teens) were very happy there. Thoroughly recommend!
