Barnkirk Holidays

Another enjoyable break at Barnkirk.

Pros: Having stayed here on a number of occasions, I really like the accessibility and nearness to the town and countryside in minutes. Facilities are good, Ian , the host obviously reads the reviews! As I had previously mentioned the possible addition of a non slip bath mat in the shower room.He actually popped in within minutes of us arriving and presented us with a mat, and a smile. All good!! Just one more item for you Ian, the outside light which lights the deck area and steps doesn't seem to be working? tried all the switches without success, could be a bulb has blown? Something to keep you busy during an idle moment!! Haaa haaa. Thanks see you again in the near future.

Cons: Noted above just a lack of light in tge deck / Steps area.

Had a lovely, restful if soggy stay!

Pros: It was extremely comfortable good bed Black out curtains 👌 Well equipped Lovely location

lovely getaway ideal location host was spot on

Pros: Location was perfect Nice and peaceful get away host was great

Brilliant, loved it and didn't want to leave. Very cosy, comfortable bed too. Definitely be back!

Pros: We loved this small, private dog friendly site, with lovely views of the surrounding green hills and fields from our caravan decking, and regular visits from neighbouring cows with their calves each day. A very calming, peaceful location; friendly welcoming host with the right balance of being helpful while leaving us to enjoy our stay hassle free. A well kitted out caravan with everything we needed for our self-catering break away; good position for travelling to Dumfries, New Galloway, the Machars and beyond.

Cons: The wooden steps leading up to the decking to access the caravan could do with being adjusted slightly to add a couple more steps to make them less of a height between each step and less of a steep climb up, especially for the biker dodgy knee brigade! Just need an extra oven rack and the bathroom sink plug o ring could do with replacing; but these are minor things and did not impact on our enjoyable stay.

Pros: A relaxing and well equipped mobile home. An excellent position for exploring the west side of the Galloway Hills and coast.

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

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

Pros: not the easiest place to find but vant fault it for the peace and quiet just what I needed

Perfect

Pros: Beutifull area nice quiet small site run by lovely hosts

Tranquil country location conveniently near Newton Stewart

Pros: Helpful welcoming host. Comfortable, warm property. Spacious kitchen/living area. Good kitchen facilities. Great shower.

Cons: Some difficulty finding the property

Great facilities, in a lovely spot and excellent value.

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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!!
