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. A fair use amount per week 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!

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!!

Pleasant stay in nice clean accommodation. Kids loved the pool.
This is a gorgeous site, lodges are a decent distance apart so feels very private. The Lodge itself has everything you need, it’s cosy but spacious… 7 of us stayed and we felt there was ample space. There’s a cute pub on site and short walk to beautiful beach. Pool is a bonus, kids loved it, will definitely visit again!

Craigieknowes golf course was fantastic fun!
We enjoyed our visit to the pool and it was nice having the pool to ourselves!
The Beagle was a nice treat for a Sunday dinner and an extra bonus to take the dog!

Thank you for a lovely bank holiday family break. We used the games and wifi was great for everyone to use.
Some more seating would be handy* as some adults had to sit in the dining room while most were in the living room.
We look forward to coming back next year!
*new sofas have now been added.
I recently enjoyed a stay at Serenity with my family, we had a brilliant time. The lodge was gorgeous and cleaned to a high standard. The views of the loch from the lodge were stunning too, lovely beach close by and we also loved the added bonus of a private swimming session in the pool! Highly recommend, we will definitely be back 🙂
