We stayed at barend holiday village but booked privately as advised by friends. We stayed in no 58 which was a pleasant surprise. The chalet is furnished to a very high standard and has a fully tiled moden bathroom and kitchen whilst losing none of its character. The chalet sleeps 8 comfortably and benefits from a beautifully comfortable cottage style... More

In a nice location we booked through Cottages 4 you and the lodge was really good value for what we paid however I do not think it was 4 star as advertised. It was very well equipped and the bedding and towels were luxurious. It was compact but sufficient for 2. Nice cake on arrival More

Booked quite late for October half term, so had to book direct with site. I am told some of the lodges booked direct with owners are at a lower rate and can be a higher standard. The lodge we booked was 3 star, it was OK and had good views, although at the far end if you were walking to... More

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

Yet another super visit to Barend, this was our 5th time. The food and service at the bar/restaurant were excellent this trip, would highly recommend. 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. Try... More

We stayed in Ash Lodge, number 40. On first impressions the lodge seemed okay, but when we looked closely, and tried to view to loch through the filthy windows, we realised the whole lodge was dirty. There were dog poo bags, full, gathered at the side window which had not been disposed of. There was dust along all the skirtings,... More

Barend Holiday Village is a great location for a "get away from it all" type break. I was fortunate enough to get a surprise birthday break for my 40th Birthday with 17 of us taking 3 lodges. The lodges were clean and well positioned with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and the kids loved the open space and the... More
