    Personally, for me(bad knees) the step to the holiday home was a bit steep

    The location was brilliant, with lovely views and seeing the cows every morning was a bonus. So peaceful

    One small item that might be worth considering is a shower mat on the floor outside the cubicle? The floor being laminate can become a little slippery when wet even a rubber suckered type bath mat might serve well, and be virtually maintenance free. The other odd situation was that the occupants of a neighbouring caravan, had the TV or Radio on pretty loudly all night each night !! I'm not sure why but as they had a couple of dogs, we wondered whether this was a distraction technique, as I am aware that some dogs don't settle too well in unfamiliar surroundings and many different ploys are used to overcome this!! We've never encountered this issue previously, so have put it down as a one off!!

    Having stayed here a number of times before, over the last few years we knew what to expect and our regular return, would I believe show our appreciation for Barnkirk as a base for us.

    Not a massive issue but you need to bring your own bath towel, these are not provided.

    A clean comfortable park home which was warm, clean, had a nice power shower and lovely views over open countryside. Also nice and quiet. There were only 3 park homes on site and it felt relaxed and informal. in a lovely location with easy access to some terrific parts of Dumfriesshire. Good supermarkets 5 mins away by car in Newton Stewart

    Loved the location, very quiet and no light pollution so you can see all the stars. Also, a big bonus, you can wake up to farm animals grazing right outside your window. Would definitely recommend it to my friends and family.

    The caravan was a bit tired and could do with a bit of a refurbishment. It smelt musty when we first arrived, and some of the cooking utensils and pans are past their best.

    Great peaceful location. It was very warm, the bed was comfortable, and the shower was excellent. The couple who owned and ran it were friendly and helpful during our stay

    It could have been a bit more clean (quite a few spiders, but nothing concerning!)

    These caravans are awesome, great view of the stars by night and it’s a very convenient location if you have got a car

    Only one think the smell wasn't pleasant in the caravan and we think it was coming from the double bedroom. I think the previous people must of had a dog and it's left a bad smell behind but went to the local shops and got some spray to mask the smell but apart from that ten out of ten.

    Quite location friendly people excellent for the price

    Few cobwebs and spiders but this is to be expected in countryside location so not a massive issue. Some taps were bit stiff.

    Nice spacious cottage. Lovely views from conservatory. Comfy beds and nice large living room. Nice touch to provide soaps, toilet rolls, kitchen roll, etc.
