A lovely cottage for a couple, dishwasher and large fridge / freezer were a pleasant surprise not mentioned in information.A more accurate map location would hep, we had to rely on a local who we met in the village whist looking for cottage which was actually NEAR the village of Glen Barr, we were lucky.

Cottage had everything you would need for self catering.
Cottage had everything you would need for self catering. Great base for exploring Kintyre. Toilet didn't flush well, had to a pour basin of water down it a few times. Wifi would be a good addition to the house, which wouldn't be too much of a stretch for the owners as their own home is next to the property.
No contact from Homeaway regarding getting keys etc. Hours spent on the phone to various "customer service". Found out myself that it was managed by cottages. com. Logged in to their website to find all the information there. Probably spent too much money by booking through Homeaway rather than direct with Cottages. Com. Views were stunning, great location. Lovely gifts upon arrival (best banana cake ever) fresh flowers a lovely touch. Very clean. Missing a couple of things like a bbq and heat resistant glove for the fire. Great shower. Loved the sea view from the bed. Back garden had lovely views over to Jura and Islay. Kintyre is beautiful. Seals, deer, red squirrels were a delight to see and local beaches were stunning. Lovely day trip to Arran and Gigha possible. Loved it, shame about the booking experience from Homeaway.
