We were travelling north from Wales to Shetland, so Barr Farm was ideal for an overnight stop, and was easy to reach from the M74. We arrived to fresh homebaking(all made by our hostess, Orla) and a very welcome pot of tea. We've never had this offered anywhere else! Believe all the reviews.....this place is exceptional! Where else can you... More

Travelling North for a wedding we needed a break somewhere in the Borders, searching Trip Advisor found Barr Farmhouse. The atrocious weather meant we arrived later than expected but we were greeted with a fantastic afternoon tea which actually was sumptuous enough to replace our evening meal!! Waking up to a sunlit morning our room had views across a beautiful... More

My wife and I had a very good stay at the farm with Roy and Orla, You can see and hear from them that they are very passenate about the place which they rebuilt to a great place to stay. They are a bubbly couple and a good laugh you can see who rules, but, they are great and we... More

I've stayed in quite a few places over the years and this is the best. Couldn't fault the food, the ambience (yes even in a B&B), the comfort, the hospitality. Nothing was too much trouble for Roy & Orla, and they were great fun. I once stayed in a beautiful 5-star B&B up north and it would vie for first... More

We were welcomed as friends - Roy and Orla are interesting and interested people who really enjoy what they do and it shows! Comfortable rooms and a good range of food choices deal with the bed and breakfast aspects of their business but they make the real difference by being so warm and friendly from the moment you arrive to...

Roy and Orla are the perfect hosts for a B&B. They are available, friendly, and very helpful, without being intrusive.They have tried to incorporate every feature that you might expect in a great B&B and have succeeded. The decor is "country" and very comfortable. The lounge is spacious and a pleasant place to spend some time not in your room.... More

Roy and Orla Stairmand are excellent hosts who make you feel like the King and Queen of guests. They are interested in their guests and aim to make your stay in the Dumfries/Galloway area as delightful as possible. Comfortable bedding and complimentary robes along with rooms decorated with great care all add to the aura of delight. There is a... More

We have just returned from a very relaxing two day trip to the Barr Farmhouse. As well as a very warm welcome and lovely food we got lots of help planning our trips around the area and even recipies! The afternoon tea was a lovely treat and the rooms very comfortable. We can't wait to find a reason to get... More

I stayed for a couple of nights on business in April. Arrived late on the first night, but was still treated to a supper of scones, cream, cakes etc, washed down with a single malt. You won't get that level of care in a hotel. Breakfast the next day started with an unexpected fresh fruit salad with freshly squeezed orange... More
