Welcome to

Barend Holiday Lodges

 
Barend is a development of log houses built overlooking a loch and situated about 400 Metres from Sandyhills Beach, one of the best sandy beaches on the Solway Firth. There is a Bar and Restaurant on site and there is a Riding Centre adjacent to the site, beside the loch.  

After we had spent 35 years bulding up the holiday village at Barend Frank and Sue Gourlay felt it was time to retire.  

We still live at Barend House and still own all the fields and woodlands. We retain the Riding School, which is now let out to Margie Bryson who has worked in the School for many years. And we will continue to let some of the lodges at Barend. Type A, & C.  

We want to ensure that we are offering good value to all those who come to the beautiful and uncrowded countryside of the South West of Scotland. We are only an hour from the M6 at Carlisle and there is none of the bother of flying to an overseas holiday destination!
