great property, we have used many times and will again.

There was nothing I didn't like

The property is stunning, everything I expected, and so much more We were met shortly after arrival by Isobel who was very friendly, ensured we knew how to reach her if necessary. Very quiet location. Very dark, which would have been amazing if the sky had been clear, and the stars out.

The cottage was beautiful as was the surrounding countryside. Plenty to do nearby. The accommodation was lovely and warm despite being chilly outside (February ). The cottage had everything we needed and more. Lots of lovely touches. The photos do not do the cottage justice. Thank you and we will be back.

The Honey House is beautiful and larger than we expected from the pictures. The location is very quiet and perfect for watching the dark skys. We came with an 8 and 10 yr old and found the house well stocked with books and games that they were reluctant to put down to go outside! Arrival was simple, no fuss and the house was clean and warm. Enjoy your visit!

The property was generally clean but I had to clean around the rear external of the shower room loo pan and the floor below it. A scheduled gas service call in the morning of the last day meant the boiler had been switched off and there wasn't hot water for showers and washing up. There may have been a mix up between Booking.com and the hostess about what time we were expected to leave.

Remote location, quietness, great property for up to 5 adults and good for a family, good laundry facility, great entrance for boots and bikes, friendly and responsive hostess, spacious rooms, good kitchen provision, comfortable living area, separate dining area, comfortable beds.

Not hosts fault but roads to the property were badly maintained.

Very cosy and well equipped house.

Stayed in September 2023

The main shower was a bit slow and the bath was difficult to get in and out if you are short and elderly! Nothing that the owners can do about but until the council decide to resurface the road avoiding the potholes on the lanes leading to Kirkcudbright makes for a very slow and uncomfortable journey.

Very well equipped and spacious single storey barn conversion in a remote location. We enjoyed the company, in the house, of the visiting ( on invitation ) farm cat and dog. Interesting wild life. A young hare who mowed the lawn, a passing fox, the snail who walked along the patio door sill and the swallows and martins. Lots of interesting places to visit - Threave Gardens at Castle Douglas, The Mill with its second hand bookshop and cafe at Gatehouse of Fleet and The Raider's Road £3 toll from Clatteringsaws Loch to Loch Ken and Kippford and Rockcliffe. The sunsets were spectacular.

Self catering, good location and easy to get to local services and attractions, very quiet location all of which we wanted. Never met our hosts but they provided a contact number if needed which was fine. Barcloy is a working farm but we were never disturbed or inconvenienced likewise the neighbouring cottage was occupied but again very quiet and no issues. Nice garden and views.

Gorgeous views, really peaceful

Stayed in March 2023

the shower in the master bedroom needs changed as well as the cubicle but that’s about it! everything else is spot on

well appointed, comfortable, has everything you need for your stay, lovely and warm. good quality furnishings and spotlessly clean! lots of puzzles, games and books!

If you happen to be visiting in the winter (as we did), and if you don't drive a 4x4 vehicle (as we don't), it's worth knowing that there's an uphill section of the farm drive that may be icy. We got up the hill, but it wasn't easy, and took several attempts.

All good. The house is well-equipped and comfortable, and the area is very quiet and peaceful. There's a variety of walks locally, with good viewpoints. If you get lucky with the weather, it's a great location for star-gazing.

Lovely cosy cottage, very spacious and comfortable throughout with plenty hot water. A fab place for some R&R, so peaceful and nice to get a wee visit from the local wildlife.  Hope to come back soon.

There's nothing to complain about

1 of 2 holiday cottages on the farm but you wouldn't know there were neighbours. Very quiet on a working farm with views across the hills and tremendous sunsets. The cottage is well laid out, clean and had everything we needed. Kirkudbright is a 10 minute drive away - it had the Arts trail and monthly market while we were there. The Weekly Scottish evening (Thursdays) off the main street was great fun. Very friendly hostess.

Stayed in July 2022

A car is definitely required, as the cottage is on a farm , a couple of miles from the main road. Apart from that, it was ideal.

The cottage was in beautiful surroundings and was very well equipped with all home comforts. We had a lovely, relaxing time there and would definitely recommend it for a peaceful holiday.

Stayed in May 2022

Pay close attention to the arrival instructions, the cottage is out of sight until the very last minute as you drive in. The public access road is potholed so take your time. The cottage is a long way from the nearest town so you will be cooking if you like a glass of wine or beer with your meal.

Superb views, swans and red kites flying past and sheep and cattle grazing in the fields. A well equipped kitchen and a comfortable lounge. The large entrance lobby was great for drying washing and as somewhere to leave wet and dirty kit (we were running and mountain biking).

Stayed in March 2022

The cottage is stylishly furnished in cosy shabby chic comfort. Communication and directions very good. Kitchen well equipped and some grocery essentials there.

Nothing. worth noting though you will need a car

warm, cosy, excellent value, friendly cat. much more spacious than it looks on the pictures. the photos don’t donit justice. we’ll definitely be back

Shower was difficult to turn on (it is being replaced). A handrail and bath mat would make it more user friendly for accessibility needs.

Hosts were near by and easy to contact should we have needed to. The location was peaceful and cosy; it was on a farm but only 4 miles from the village and beaches. It suited my father who is in his 90s - the cottage is spacious and on one level. One bathroom had a bath and the second had a walk-in shower which was suitable for his needs. Inviting private garden with sunset views.

Lovely, peaceful, cosy and quiet. Felt like a real bolt hole and escape from the outside world. I live on a working farm in North Yorkshire, in a rural and picturesque setting, but Barcloy Honey House was another level & I liked it very much. Liked the authentic appearance of the farm too, that you drive by to get to the cottage.

Nothing.

Excellent location, miles away from anyway, very quiet and remote, but only 20 minutes from Castle Douglas.

I liked how quiet it was. The ery friendly cat that came to see us each day. I loved the big deep bath.

Stayed in September 2021

The outside needs a paint to freshen up. Other than that, nothing!

Everything! Excellent location, the house was very clean, comfortable and welcoming. Especially liked the flowers and organic milk on arrival. Loved being on a farm and all the surrounding wildlife.
