We loved this small, private dog friendly site, with lovely views of the surrounding green hills and fields from our caravan decking, and regular visits from neighbouring cows with their calves each day. A very calming, peaceful location; friendly welcoming host with the right balance of being helpful while leaving us to enjoy our stay hassle free. A well kitted out caravan with everything we needed for our self-catering break away; good position for travelling to Dumfries, New Galloway, the Machars and beyond.
The wooden steps leading up to the decking to access the caravan could do with being adjusted slightly to add a couple more steps to make them less of a height between each step and less of a steep climb up, especially for the biker dodgy knee brigade! Just need an extra oven rack and the bathroom sink plug o ring could do with replacing; but these are minor things and did not impact on our enjoyable stay.

Having stayed here on a number of occasions, I really like the accessibility and nearness to the town and countryside in minutes. Facilities are good, Ian , the host obviously reads the reviews! As I had previously mentioned the possible addition of a non slip bath mat in the shower room.He actually popped in within minutes of us arriving and presented us with a mat, and a smile. All good!! Just one more item for you Ian, the outside light which lights the deck area and steps doesn't seem to be working? tried all the switches without success, could be a bulb has blown? Something to keep you busy during an idle moment!! Haaa haaa. Thanks see you again in the near future.
Noted above just a lack of light in tge deck / Steps area.

We rented two caravans, so these comments apply to them.
The facilities provided were good, the kitchen was well-equipped, the toilet and shower worked well, the heating was effective, and the location was nice: very remote yet still easily accessible.
The cleaning was poor — there were still a lot of cobwebs inside the caravans, and the outdoor seating area was covered in them. I had expected this to be cleaned before guests arrived.
One of the caravans also had an unpleasant stench, which is definitely not something you want on a holiday.

Having stayed here a number of times before, over the last few years we knew what to expect and our regular return, would I believe show our appreciation for Barnkirk as a base for us.
One small item that might be worth considering is a shower mat on the floor outside the cubicle? The floor being laminate can become a little slippery when wet even a rubber suckered type bath mat might serve well, and be virtually maintenance free.
The other odd situation was that the occupants of a neighbouring caravan, had the TV or Radio on pretty loudly all night each night !! I'm not sure why but as they had a couple of dogs, we wondered whether this was a distraction technique, as I am aware that some dogs don't settle too well in unfamiliar surroundings and many different ploys are used to overcome this!! We've never encountered this issue previously, so have put it down as a one off!!

A clean comfortable park home which was warm, clean, had a nice power shower and lovely views over open countryside. Also nice and quiet. There were only 3 park homes on site and it felt relaxed and informal. in a lovely location with easy access to some terrific parts of Dumfriesshire. Good supermarkets 5 mins away by car in Newton Stewart
Not a massive issue but you need to bring your own bath towel, these are not provided.

The location was perfect.
The property needs a detailed deep clean, all skirtings and ledges were covered in dust and dirt. Kitchen surfaces were either sticky or greasy. Had to wash cutlery and crockery before use. Worn carpets covered by rugs and mats which were a trip hazard.

Lovely caravan in a really nice quiet area, lots of nice walks to drive to around the Galloway Forest and easy to get to the coast.

Lovely location close to local town while being far enough away from it all which is what we want as we dont like busy places. Lots to do nearby if you are into the great outdoors and you don't get robbed for parking unlike a lot of the more touristy places. If you want to see proper Scotland with proper Scottish people this is the place to come. Would like to stay again a few days before heading further north.

The location of Barnkirk Holidays is perfect for traveling to anywhere you like to visit; we fount it a perfect place to rest before traveling to all the sites you would all like to Visit; even national trust places
We phoned for a chippy and found it to be the worst and disgusting chippy that you could have had, the curry sauce was just brown gravy; chips were small left overs the you would throw away; We all had to go to a restaurant for a perfect meal

It was very spacious and peaceful and within driving distance of many lovely walks and beautiful countryside.
While the property was dog friendly, there was nowhere nearby for a short walk morning and evening. All the fields round about had either cows or sheep.

We booked over the Walking Festival and it is such a perfect place to explore south west Scotland. Only three caravans, offset, beside a cottage just a few miles from Newton Stewart. Perfect location.
Nothing. Loved everything

Caravan was beautiful and just on the outskirt of newton stewart, loads of leaflet in van to give you idea's on where to go and where to get food
The stair into caravan were alittle high for my elderly parents and not a lot of light outside to take dogs out at night

We booked for the location so we could get the dogs away from any firework noise. The location was perfect for this reason. The area was so quiet (only 3 caravans and. Cottage) so great for a peaceful getaway. With only the cows 4 feet away for company. Newton Stewart is only a mile and a half away though. The hosts were great and left us to it but were there when we needed them (to send on a left behind wallet).
Probably due to location there isnt many places you can walk to on foot given it is a farming area so no pavements but the hosts did leave instructions for right to roam walks - the weather just wasn't on our side for this.

The location is great,only a 3 minute drive to Newton Stewart. It's very quiet,only 3 caravans surrounded by fields full of cows.There was a welcome tray with tea,coffee,biscuits etc which we appreciated. The caravan itself had a handy balcony and nice bedding.
Nothing,everything was great.

Great location, great facilities. Comfy beds. Walled garden for the dogs. Big kitchen, lots of pots and pans and cooking trays. Bonus, blender and hand mixer. Washer dryer for getting baby clothes washed and dried. Conservatory/dining room with nice views. En suites are just the job, loved the roll top bath. We were here earlier this year and went back with my parents. Managed to make cakes with the utensils available. A nice relaxing stay, feels like you’re in middle of nowhere, but it’s only couple of miles to town centre with plenty of supermarkets and a fantastic butchers
Wasn’t anything we didn’t like

The heating boiler took some time to understand. There was no written guide how to control the off & on.
