“On the whole the cottage was absolutely beautiful and seeing the sheep in the mornings was lovely!”
−Had to get out of bed to switch the bedside lamp on and off so a lamp with switch on the lamp would make life easier. A welcome pack would have been nice!

“Another wonderful, peaceful stay with beautiful views, red kites overhead and everything we needed close by,we can’t wai”
+This was our second stay at Barnbackle Cottage, and we loved it just as much as the first. The cottage is spacious and had great access for my mam, who has mobility difficulties, while the large garden was perfect for Jaxon. The location is peaceful and tranquil, with fantastic countryside views, lots of lovely local walks and beautiful red kites regularly flying overhead. We especially loved seeing Rocky the horse nearby,he became a real highlight of our stay! It is also ideally situated for local attractions, with supermarkets around 15 minutes away, dog parks within 10 minutes, and both the Inn on the Loch and the Galloway Arms close by for fabulous food. Barnbackle is a wonderful place to relax and unwind, and we would happily return again.
