Overall our 1 night stay was excellent. Very comfortable bed, excellent shower. As I know this property before it was refurbished I think it has been extremely well done.The complimentary tea and coffee on arrival is a nice touch. I have one minor complaint and that is the strength of coffee,it was really weak.

Lovely place. Excellent rooms, very clean and well kept. Staff helpful, breakfast choices fine, and who could object to b’fast outdoors on a sunny morning. My only tiny cavil is that a couple of sugar free cereal choices, like well made messily, would be helpful. We’d stay there again like a shot!

Exceptional, warm & inviting. A+++
I had a delightful experience during my stay. The apartment was charming, featuring a self-contained kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom, all impeccably clean and warmly decorated. If I find myself in the area again, I will definitely prioritize booking a room here. The host was exceptionally friendly and hospitable, offering helpful recommendations for nearby dining options. My only regret was not having had the time to visit the adjacent shop and café.

Ein netter, sehr ruhiger Ort für ein paar Tage.
Wir wurde im House at Glennbarr sehr herzlich begrüsst. Der Besitzer und seine Mitarbeiterinnen halfen uns mit guten Tipps für unseren Aufenthalt. Das Frühstück wurde im zum Haus zugehörigen Gewächshaus serviert und war ausgesprochen gut. Zudem bietet das Haus auch einen kleinen Shop mit allerlei lokalen Köstlichkeiten. Unser Zimmer war zweckmässig und hübsch eingerichtet. Ein wenig irritierend fand ich die auf den Hotelplatformen gezeigten Strand-bilder. Der nächste Strand ist ca 20 Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar. Um herum zu kommen, empfiehlt sich eine Auto.
