10/10 Excellent
"Our second stay at The House at Glenbarr, which is a little gem and well worth a visit and/or stay. Boutique style rooms and a residents lounge with kitchen to enable self catering. If booking The Hayloft, it’s a suite with its own kitchen. On site there’s a general store, and lovely gift shop, cafe and garden centre. Staff all very helpful and it’s the hub of the wee community of Glenbarr, which is slightly inland hence no sea view."

"Staff very helpful and able to deal with all questions. Good breakfast made to order and very good dinner in hotel restaurant. Free parking is available all along the street; all local amenities are easily accessible on foot. The internal fabric of the hotel is rather tired and worn, and would benefit from some refurbishment; fixtures and fittings show some - largely cosmetic - wear and tear which might be better maintained. This would make it more aesthetically attractive."
