Situated at Barrhill Holiday Park a short distance from the coastal town of Girvan, Barrhill Holiday Park is the perfect place to come for a quiet and relaxing break to get away from it all. Our park is 17 miles from Newton Stewart and has the famous 7 Stanes mountain biking tracks on its door step.
Galloway Forest is a designated “Dark Skies” area and is perfect for star gazing, only 10 miles from us and is registered as a International dark sky park, one of only a few in Europe!
Ideal for a short break for couples or a families, your home for your break will be one of 3 luxury pods (sleeps 3), 5 Deluxe pods (sleeps 5) and 2 Stargazer pods (sleeps 6) – all of which come with its own private electric hot tub at Barrhill Holiday Park.
Beside the pod is a 6 seater hot tub which is always ready to use, no waiting about or planning when to use it like some other wood fired hot tubs! Our hot tub’s are all electric, meaning they are ready to sit in at any point during your stay.
Outside you have space to park your car a picnic table and a fire pit – perfect for roasting your marshmallows.
Communal kitchen facilities are provided in the “The Cook House” which is a short distance from your pod, where there is 2 gas hobs a sink and some cooking utensils. There are also tables and chairs where you can sit and eat.
Your pod comes equipped with a TV, microwave, fridge, kettle, beds, mattresses, toilet and wash hand basin, heating, lighting, sockets.
*Please note* You will still need to bring all your usual camping gear – sleeping bags/duvet, pillows, cups, plates, cutlery, toilet roll, towels, and enough food for your stay.

We are just back from a lovely weekend away. It was a last min booking to recharge the batteries. We stayed in the star gazers pod, that included a hot tub. The accommodation was great, and very clean. Philip greeted us on arrival showing us how to use the amenities and supplied fire wood for the pit. Once we were all checked in we were left to it. It was just what we needed to recharge our batteries and relax. The only concern we had was one of the residents had very big dogs and over heard her telling one of the children to go the other way or it would bite them…they were on leads but no mussel, as I said they were very big dogs and if they wanted to could quite easily break free from there leads. We would 100% recommend to friends and family and will be back with our munchkins! Thank you for a very lovely relaxing weekend.

We stayed in a stargazing pod and it was very spacious inside and had its own little toilet. It was nice and cosy aswell with the heater inside. The hot tub under the stars at night were amazing to see! Great facilities they have a cookhouse where u can go and cook your food which I've never seen before! Firepits and they sell firewood at good prices too! There is also a little park for kids and a 20 minute drive to girvan where there is some amusements and shops.
thank you for the lovely review! we're glad to hearyou enjoyed your time with us, hopefully see you again soon

Wet weather cover was a lifesaver / having access to the cook house saved a wash out on a wet weekend

When my brother first arrived the hot tub wasnt working and it took around 4/5 hours to heat up. Check in was at three and the tub wasn't ready until around 7/8pm. The bins hadn't been checked prior to arrival and there were dead bugs inside the cupboards. Myself and my mother left after one night due to the disappointment. The shower facilities were alright although it was difficult to find somewhere to put your dry clothes as the floors were soaking. The stargazing pods are not what they are made out to be. And the level of effort from hosts are minimal. I can't believe they charged over £300 for a shed with a broken hot tub and dead bugs.

It was a great space, easily big enough to 2 people, however I don't see 6 people in their comfortably, the heat in there during the summer time is immense as it keeps in heat very well, however the area itself has a lot of noise. Eg. Constant beeping and a road about 20-30 feet away from the pod itself, the hot tub was great except there was no temperature control and it sat around 44 degrees most of the time which made it unbearably hot. Staff was friendly and helpful though so that's a great plus. Overall i would probably stay again if it wasn't as expensive. Another possible upgrade would be a door to access the hot tub area as it can be slightly exposed as the surrounding area is on a hill and looking down in your space.
Thanks for your review. When you stayed we were experiencing extremely hot weather, even my house was unbearable at night. There is no way the hot tub would have been at 44 degrees, they are regulated to 39 degrees and when if it hits 40 degrees there is a thermal cut out, if it was to hot I'd have happily turned it down for you as I did for other customers that had asked me. In terms of pricing we are very competitive and probably one of the cheapest on a like for like basis and we are proud of this fact. Thanks for booking with us and hopefully we'll see you again.
