Fabulous wee lodge for 2 adults and 4 children. Lovely & clean, well-equipped, warm & cosy. We’ll be back! Perfect for holidays with families. Loved the kids room I slept here! So comfy!
The landscape was lovely wish we didn’t have to go and I loved the upstairs bedroom that slept 4 people and because it has a triangle roof!!!

Very pleasant stay. Very well equipped cabin, nothing to fault
Felt that a washing machine is needed, if even 3 nights stay.*
It’s our 3rd time in Barend and our 2nd time in this cabin, will definitely come back again.
Amazing scenery and places to see and visit.
*We are considering a washing machine in the future.

Daily provision of toilet paper.*

We have had a very relaxing stay; the whole place is quiet; the spot is perfect, overlooking a loch. This is definitely a perfect location to get away from the hustle and bustle; will definitely come back and recommend to our circle of friends!
*Sundries are provided by Barend Holiday Lodges: “The rental price includes bed linen; 1 hand and 1 bath towel for each guest (infants not included), plus one toilet roll per toilet and a basic kitchen pack. £35 per week pro rata is included for electric and gas.”
**Good idea, thanks! We had to get a new tyre on one of our visits.

Beagle open would be good.*

This is our 5th time at Barend and this year was no exception to yet another nicely presented [lodge]. No. 22 was excellent as well.
*This guest visited in between The Beagle closing and the pub reopening as The Crab Pot. Sadly the Crab Pot has now closed too, but there are plans to use the space: Barend Wellbeing Centre

Sandyhills Beach – great for dogs
Bainloch Deer Park – lovely cafe but not dog friendly (we have 2 dogs).
Swimming pool is good – nice to have it to ourselves for an hour.

Lovely dog-friendly lodge – well equipped.
Comfy beds
Will definitely come back in 2025, lodge 22 will be our first choice, have stayed in a few log cabins here over the years but really enjoyed 22.
Thank you!

Its the 2nd time we have been to 22 Barend, Serenity.
The addition of the partition upstairs is great. We had a wonderful time on the beach even when cloudy! We loved walking around the loch and feeding the ducks.
We will be returning. Thankyou.

As always we had a great stay at Barend and enjoyed your lodge.
Comfortable seating for 4 of us and ideal for all the lovely local walks with the dog. Great to visit all the old haunts that we know so well.
Will definitely be back!!
