What guests are saying
Very pleasant stay in a lovely relaxing environment, my only small criticism of the stay was that we had a dog friendly pod with spa and felt there should maybe have been a gate to enclose the area as we were not to leave the pooch in the pod unattended.
Very small negative in what was in all a fantastic stay.
We had a great stay at Barnsoul.
We thought the cabin was amazing. However our bedroom lights did not work. While the welcome pack was amazing it could have been slightly better by adding basic condiments such as salt and pepper.
The location was beautiful.
However the bed was very uncomfortable. And this is why I wouldn't return. The manager kindly purchased a mattress topper which helped for the last 2 days of the stay. Surprised at the lack of cleanliness outside with regard to the fencing and windows. Very dirty and thought these would be cleaned more often especially before our stay. Think there should be someone on site more often and easier to get hold of someone. The actual lodge was nice.
