Summary: We were a family group of 14. Eight Adults and six kids with ages between 6 and 11. This was a perfect house for our annual family holiday. The house is large with plenty of space for the active kids, and those looking for a peaceful corner. It also turned out to be the perfect place for a kids treasure hunt. The snooker table was a hit with everyone. We had lovely evenings together in the large hall. With snooker, a few drinks and a log fire. Perfect! The garden is massive with something for everyone. A lawn large enough for football and cricket, plus lots of 'wilder' areas for exploring. The surrounding estate has some nice walks and beyond that the countryside is beautiful.

Summary: Every two years we plan a vacation for our entire family, 18 (soon to be 19) and therefore need to find properties which are large enough to accomodate us whilst also beinf dog friendly. It was universally agreed that Barscobe was, by far, the best property we have stayed at yet

David H. Jun 26, 2024 01:19:22 AM

Summary: I think we’d all go back

David A. Jan 9, 2024 08:14:16 PM

Summary: Nice house in a beautiful location, lots of space and the hall is a wonderful focal point for a group to spend time together

Damian C. Jan 8, 2024 11:13:09 PM

Summary: We have stayed in quite a lot of large houses over the years but this was by far the best we have been in. property was very clean and provided us with everything we needed from a property, snooker table was a huge bonus along with the daily walks around the private estate including the waterfalls. Brilliantly looked after by Duncan and Vicki who were able to help with any questions we had!! definitely recommend, we may well be back!!

Summary: Barscobe House is a lovely old property tucked away down a private drive. We were there to celebrate a big birthday and the house was the perfect spot for a family get together. We spent most evenings in the main hall area, where there was space for everyone to sit, play snooker and socialise together. The large and well equipped kitchen was perfect for catering for a large group and the pantry and cool room were a great bonus for food and drink storage. The views from the garden were wonderful and we were lucky enough with the weather to be able to sit out and enjoy them. The garden offers plenty of space for children and dogs to run and we made the most of it. We had a lovely time at Barscobe and would consider returning next time we have a family get together.

Summary: Castle Douglas was a fabulous, interesting, retreat for our family of 9 adults and 5 children for 5 days. With magnificent views especially for bedrooms over gardens, woodlands, farmland (with sheep) streams and other water, all around. Look out for the massive old tree in the garden!! Plenty of space on the lawn for a quick game of football, cricket, or rounders! Unfortunately, we couldn’t let the dog off the lead as there were gaps in the fence so a little downside if you have a dog. The downstairs rooms were bigger than expected with loads of nooks and crannies to hide if you needed a quiet moment. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable with modern bedding. The bathrooms were good, 2 with baths and 2 with showers. We never felt cold at all as the heating was very efficient. The House was as expected for a very old building with massive, interesting, well furnished rooms, space for everyone. The modern kitchen was exceedingly well equipped with double oven, crockery, pots and utensils etc. The cold room housing the fridges and freezers was an interesting and useful space for food storage and of course the beer!! The boot room was great for the dog. The snooker table provided entertainment for all ages and we had some lovely evenings around the open fires which were lovely and atmospheric. Kids enjoyed playing hide and seek etc, and generally having space to be kids. The caretakers were kind in not rushing us out on moving out day, which we thank them for. All in all, a very different way to spend a few days with family and friends which we wouldn’t mind repeating!
