Lovely place about half way down the east coast of Loch Awe.

Lovely warm house in a quiet location, with views over Loch Awe. The owner was really friendly and helpful. Couldn't ask for more.

Beautiful views

We had a wonderful time. The cottage was cozy and well appointed with everything we needed. The beds warm and comfortable. It was a perfect spot for our family. The only warning is that the one lane road is a little tricky- just go slow!

Splendid cottage

A splendid cottage in a very special location! We had a great week with our family of five. The house is very well equipped and comfortable. Great views over the lake from the house. The area is quite secluded (nearest super market 35 minute drive) but we were very well prepared for the situation, thanks to the elaborate information Catriona sent us beforehand. Lots of nice activities and excursions to do in the region. We very much enjoyed the Seafari and also the Kintail Birds of Prey is a unique experience.

Lovely Property and Views!

Although we had to cut short our holiday, we had a lovely time in Catriona's beautiful cottage! The facilities were excellent and the views were amazing. Catriona was a brilliant host!

We had a fantastic time with a family, a couple with two little boys, in the cottage during the summer holiday! Spacious, comfortable, well-appointed house with views of the Loch Awe. Cottage growing from a fairyland, lost in the Scottish wilderness, where magic is just there in a reach of hand... Extremely clean, comfortable and well equipped. Catriona, who is the cottage owner, is exceptionally generous and warm-hearted. She lent us rescue jackets for a whole week to be able to use our inflatable boat and didn't charge us for one more night! That never happens!! I would highly recommend it for family or a group of friends. We will go back there for sure! See you soon Highlands and Catriona !

Escaping the rat race

Beautiful cottage with a scenic view, overlooking Loch Awe and surrounded by hills. Cleanest property we have ever stayed in. We were greeted by Catriona who was friendly and helpful. Oban is worth a visit and local water sports for the children were enjoyed. Thank you for a peaceful and enjoyable holiday.

Top Rate Accommodation in Equally Good Surroundings

Barr Beithe is located on the edge of Loch Awe, with stunning views of the Loch. The cottage is of an excellent standard, well equipped and clean. The sun room is where we spent most of our time, when, we were in the accommodation, taking in the wildlife around, the star of the show for us, was watching an Osprey diving for fish on the loch. The cottage is well placed for a totally relaxing holiday or if you want Oban is just over an hours drive and Inverary a lovely town around 40 minutes drive. Catriona (owner) met us after our arrival and was very informative and always available if needed. The cottage is well laid out and comfortable, with the added luxury of two bathrooms (one being a shower room), additionally it is all on one level for anyone who has mobility issues. Overall a high standard accommodation, with gorgeous outlooks, for a peaceful and tranquil holiday.

Home from home

Lovely cottage in beautiful location. Spotlessly clean, very well equipped and comfortable. Wheelchair ramp and space in cottage great for disabled person to get around. Owner very helpful. One of the best cottages we have stayed at. Lower Barr-beithe cottage was more like a home form home than a holiday cottage.

Belles vacances au calme

Belle maison au bord du loch Awe. Tout confort et d'un calme absolu. La propriétaire est super gentille et agréable. C'est une très belle région mais les routes sont très étroites. Nous avons passé une très belle semaine dans cette maison malgré la pluie en ce mois d'août. Mais ça fait le charme de l'Écosse.

Excellent

Ce séjour était notre premier en Écosse et nous ne regrettons rien dans le choix de cette location. Située au bord d'un loch, elle vous garantira un dépaysement total. Nous tenons par ailleurs à souligner l'extrême propreté des lieux ainsi que l'équipement de la maison qui est très complet. Si cela ne suffisait pas, la propriétaire est très agréable et dévouée. Nous recommandons cette location.

Tranquil Stay in Argyll

The rented house was as clean, well-equipped and quiet as the announcement specified. Our reception was very friendly. The area by the loch was very peaceful and quite relaxing, though quite secluded - meaning that the access was rather difficult, through a narrow road. Nonetheless, the premises' charm was also due to this isolation. The surroundings offered lovely walks through woodlands and sheep pastures, with a beautiful view over the loch. We really enjoyed our stay!

Our Favourite Holiday Cottage in Scotland

Recently returned from another week in our favourite holiday cottage in Scotland.Barr Beithe Lower is a lovely,very well equipped & maintained cottage in a perfect setting by Loch Awe. Loved sitting in the sun lounge enjoying the view & watching the lambs frolicking in the fields. Outside is the perfect place for a barbecue - weather permitting!! After many years still finding new places to go & things to do within a days drive. This time round drove down to Loch Katrine in the Trossachs & had a sail on the steamship "Sir Walter Scott" - very enjoyable - would do it again. Enjoyed meals out at Ardbrecknish, Glen Orchy Lodge.Dalmally & The George Hotel, Inveraray. If you enjoy a wee dram Inveraray now has 2 whisky shops - both well worth a visit. We hope to come back to Barr Beithe Lower for many years to come.There is a special atmosphere here. Thank you to the owners who always make us feel very welcome & do their best to ensure that we enjoy our stay.

Barr Beithe

A cottage alongside of Loch Awe, beautiful views of the loch from the lounge window. The cottage was beautifully furnished and well appointed with top of the range items. Three adults shared this three bedroom cottage (sleeps 5) and had a wonderful holiday. Plenty to see and do or just relax and enjoy the view. I cannot rate this particular accommodation highly enough. Ron Emerson.

An idyllic getaway in a beautiful location

Well what can we say --- Blarghour Farm cottages are an idyllic getaway in a beautiful location and Ile, Catriona and Martin make you feel as if you are coming home. We have stayed at Barr-beithe lower on two occasions in the last year, once in June 2015 and the second time in April 2016. At this time of year the lambing season is in full swing and children and adults alike will love watching the lambs have their "silly hour" when their acrobatics are a joy to watch. May is also bluebell time when the whole area carpeted in blue. The cottage itself is very well presented and scrupulously clean. A welcome tray when you arrive is a nice touch and Ile's shortbread is to die for. The views of Loch Awe seem to change every few minutes and can hold you enthralled. You feel very much part of the Blarghour Family with all the locals waving and greeting you. Amongst the places we visited were Inveraray Castle and Jail and we took the ferry from Oban to Mull. Cruachan Power Station is also well worth a visit and demonstrates an amazing feat of engineering. Must all mention the tasty fish supper at Tarbert, Loch Fyne. This holiday can be as quiet or as busy as you prefer and we can't wait for our next visit.

Clean, warm and well equipped cottage

The cottage was perfect for my family of five. It is very well equipped, clean, comfortable and warm. The views out over the loch are stunning and the feeling of complete isolation and silence was exactly what we were looking for. The walks into the hills and farm land surrounding the cottage are completely open and accessible. You could do a completely different walk everyday from your door step without having to step into the car. There is also enough lawn around the cottage for the kids to play. A wonderful family holiday.
