Last minute summer holidays
Enjoy a last minute summer holiday at Barend Holidays this year. We have a small range of self catering accommodation still available. Whether you’re looking for a getaway with the kids, a break with friends or some time as a couple, we have something for everyone. South West Scotland is famed for its quiet beaches, picturesque countryside and excellent outdoor activities. We’re easy to get to: only 2 hours from Glasgow and Edinburgh, and 3-4 hours from Leeds and Manchester.

Why Dumfries and Galloway?
Barend Holiday Lodges is hidden away in a corner of Scotland that is often overlooked. However, it offers scenery to rival that of the Highlands and Lake District, but without the crowds (and costs!). See our informative guides on what’s on in the local area here. Barend has the added advantage of an excellent pub on site, and only a 5-10 minute walk to the beach.
