Stayed here in July to celebrate my 40th Birthday, my husband booked this after reading all the great reviews and I have to say they are all spot on. Chalets were lovely, clean and spacious. My 4 year old loved the space upstairs. Although we didn't do many of the activities we did use the pool which was great and... More

Our Chalet (No.19) was very clean and spacious and had a wonderful view over the loch in front of the site and to the hills beyond. The pool was small but able to keep my two (10 and 12) occupied for an hour or so. On-site restaurant was excellent (although beware - the main courses are very generous). It can... More

Our compliments to the chef - much improved from last time. Lovely walks, swimming every day, gorgeous weather and of course the fabulous wildlife - we all loved the nightly visits from the badgers.

The lodges were clean and well positioned with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and the kids loved the open space and the... More

The lodge was just as good if not better with ample room for the four of us and the dog. With a short walk to the beach which is fantastic for the... More

Stayed recently at Barend Holiay Village in Chalet no.7, it was a very comfortable,cozy, and clean chalet and will certainly like to stay in this chalet again. New central heating system recently installed and everything that we wanted from a holiday was available in Chalet no.7. What a beautiful area of Scotland this is--no crowds, very litle traffic, a beautiful... More

Reason for Going There.... MTB trip to the seven stanes.....hence this site, chalets are big enough for all our kit, big balconys for muddy bikes (secure...lock to the timber!). Perfectly centered between Kirroughtree & Aye, with Dalbeatie & Mabie on your doorstep...to any mtb'ers out there looking to try something a step up from the usual Welsh centres, this is... More
