The cottage was fantastic it was cosy and comfortable the views were wonderful who needs to watch TV with constant changing scenery outside. I was able to cook a full Sunday roast for my family the ovens were great. Sitting at the kitchen table for breakfast watching the garden birds setting up nests in the roof. Very happy with everything, parking great just be careful coming out onto the road.Great having a bath and a walk in shower and two toilets no morning mayhem!Will definitely be coming back
Beautiful location with everything you need for a family self catering holiday. Communications with owner and housekeeper excellent. Not modern but homely clean and quirky with plenty of reading and games to keep you occupied. View was perfect, the walk into Campbeltown safe. Loved our stay and will be back.
Bedroom, kitchen, dining room and living room all have a beautiful lochside view. This was our second time staying and we'll be back again! It's a perfect unspoilt calm place, with sea, lochs and mountain views everywhere. The house is warm, clean and perfrct.
Lovely house with beautifully original windows in front and furniture in keeping with the property. Wonderful location , near to Campbeltown and spectacular views .

Beautiful views from the cottage, the cottage is very spacious and well equipped kitchen. Nice walk into Campbeltown. It’s a lovely quiet area.
Some outdoor seating at the front to take in the views would’ve been great.
Fantastic spacious cottage in a great location. Just a short walk to Campbeltown or Davaar Island. Great location from where to explore the islands. A short drive to Machrihanish beach, Southend and the Mull of Kintyre (with views to Ireland). We loved it and can only recommend.

A spacious comfortable cottage with wonderful sea views
We spent three most enjoyable weeks here in November.
It's a brilliant location right on the sea front. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished.

Tremendous location right on the water
What a great stay in this lovely house just outside Campbeltown. So much to see and do in the area - it's definitely a trek to get there, but very much worth it. Our whole family loved the week we had down there.
This was our second stay at barbreck cottage and we had another great fortnight. Very comfortable and well-equipped house in a quiet location with fabulous views across the water yet close enough to town to walk there. We have bookedcagain for next year and can’t wait to return.

My grandmother bought Barbreck Cottage in 1921, so it has been in the family almost a hundred years. I spent all my childhood holidays here. In 2003 I modernised and extended the property to make it a comfortable modern house.
