Barnharrow Holiday Pods: Outside area with LED lighting

General

  • Scenic site with swish glamping huts overlooking the Galloway Hills
  • Galloway Forest walks and mountain biking within a 20-minute drive
  • Pods each include a kitchen, woodburning stove, double bed and ensuite

Sorting out where to stay on a stint in south-west Scotland? Forget the tent and cosy up in comfort at Barnharrow Holiday Pods, a glamping site on a 100-acre farm with fully equipped and well-insulated accommodation.

Each unit at this park in the stunning region of Dumfries and Galloway sleeps up to two adults and a couple of kids in a space with a double bed (linens and towels included), an ensuite shower, a toilet and a washbasin. A two-ring cooking hob and a fridge make prepping eats easier and the woodburning stove comes in handy for extra warmth.

After all, you might be wanting that bit of extra heat once you’re done with a day out in the local countryside: this site is set between Newton Stewart (15 minutes’ drive), a town edging the hills and trails of Galloway Forest Park, and the lovely Loch Ryan (30 minutes).

Newton Stewart is the place to stock up on essentials at the shops, while Kirroughtree (20 minutes) is your gateway to adventures like mountain biking, zipwiring and zorbing.

Back on base, light up the barbecue and campfire – both are permitted at this peaceful park – and gaze up at the night sky. Galloway Forest Park is a Dark Sky Reserve, so the stars tend to twinkle brightly here.

    Emily gave us a warm welcome when we arrived. 😀
    The pod was lovely, well thought out and had everything we could want for our stay.
    We were there for 3 days and two nights but we could’ve stayed longer and travelled about in the area. It was nice to go ‘home’ and sit by the log fire. Really nice touch.
    If it had been warmer we would’ve had a bbq as this was also provided at the pods Highly recommended we will definitely return

    We had a lovely 2 night stay. The pod was very clean and had all the cooking utensils we needed for our stay. Was a nice peaceful break away! The location of the accommodation allowed for us to explore parts of the Galloway Forest. Would recommend and would return in the future :)

    Disliked: 

    No WIFI was provided and mobile signal was very poor which is good if you wish to switch off for the weekend but may not be for everyone so worth noting.

From the manager...

We are glad you enjoyed your stay with and had a nice relaxing break. We do not advertise WIFI as we are in a rural location and know the problems with connections, however 4G can sometimes be available. The occasional detox from technology is always good!!!

    Our stay was absolute bliss from the moment we arrived to a warm welcome from Emily. The pod exceeded our expectations with its level of detail - down to utensils and recycling bags. The breakfast pack included good quality local produce - and plenty of it! There was easy access to a pretty, short walks and exploration along the coast or in the national park is within easy driving distance. We’ve already booked for next year!

Directions


Please note: All distances on this page are calculated "as the crow flies" - please check actual distance depending on your mode of travel using the Get directions button above.

Local attractions

Galloway Forest Park is said to be the largest of its kind in the UK, so set aside a fair bit of time to spend here roaming around the woods, hills and lochs or embarking on some cycling at the acclaimed 7stanes mountain bike trail centre in Glentrool (30 minutes’ drive).

For peaceful pastimes, bring your rod along to the Three Lochs (25 minutes) for a spot of fishing, then continue on to the 75 acres of the Castle Kennedy Gardens in Sheuchan (25 minutes), with its manicured landscape and glittery lakes, for strolls.

If you’re hot on horticulture, aim for the Logan Botanic Garden (40 minutes) as well, to see plants from all over the world at an open-air establishment set in an area with an almost subtropical climate. The Gulf Stream keeps the air relatively warm, so flora from Australia, New Zealand, South America and Southern Africa flourishes here.

You’ll also be close enough to the coast for quick seaside trips while staying at this park: Dalavan beach, just off the Big Water of Fleet, is 35 minutes away.

Must see

  • Culzean Castle & Country Park (28.2 miles)
