Great site. Very peaceful. Within easy reach of the beach. Lodge was very modern with everything we needed. Very spacious too. Great view from the veranda. Also very dog friendly.Dalbeatie is a 10 minute drive away with a well stocked Co op. The pool was excellent. Lots of rabbits roaming free. Very well maintained site. Would definitely come again. Our family of four spent a weekend in lodge 69 in early August 2025. The log-cabin style lodge is a little dated and dark, with the odd cobweb and a slightly tight electric-shower-over-bath arrangement. However, it is extremely well equipped, very clean and very comfortable and cosy at night. The pool is great to have, the area is lovely and quiet, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely short stay and would definitely go back. The deer safari next door is excellent. Lovely lodges, came for a girl's weekend which was fun. Cabin was great value and perfect location for hiking and the beach. The cabin was quite small for 8 of us but expected for the price. Biggest downfall was the shower leaked down the stairs (getting all of our belongings wet) meaning we only had one working bathroom between 8 of us. We were told this was fixed but the problem continued, the shower was leaking a significant amount of water. However we still had a good time, views were lovely and the kitchen well stocked with plates and glasses etc. Was nice to have a fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle etc so we could cook for ourselves as some of the local puns were lovely but expensive. Would return We had a wonderful 10-day stay at Barend and have already booked again for next year. Our family loved the quiet beach, with its shallow waters that are perfect for little ones. The green space around the lodges gave the children plenty of room to run and play, and the pool was a great bonus too. Our lodge was very well equipped, with a great selection of films and board games to enjoy on rainy days. Spent the first 4 days cleaning the lodge, shower had hair and fluff all over. Hoover had to be striped as that was clogged with hair and didn't work properly. Fridge had congealed meat juices in the bottom. Mattress were thin and worn out. Only things within walking distance is the deer park which was good. And the beach was ok but mostly mud, but if you wanted to see the sea when the tide was out it's a 2 mile walk across the mud flats. The nearest grocery shop is 2 miles away and there is no walking routes there. Ended up leaving early. I WONT BE GOING BACK !
