Barkwell's offers a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for pet lovers and their furry friends. The cabins are clean and well-equipped, perfect for a comfortable stay. The staff is incredibly accommodating, adding special touches for dog-friendly vacations, but unfortunately, customer service can be frustrating in terms of handling cancellations. Overall, it's a splendid getaway for dog owners, with ample activities for pets, but potential guests should be cautious about the cancellation policy.

This place is a true paradise for dog lovers! The cottages are clean and well-equipped, with plenty of space for your pets to roam. Plus, there's a lovely lake for some fun splashing around. However, keep in mind that customer service experiences can vary, and cancellations may not be flexible, which was disappointing.

My stay at the resort spa was truly delightful! The cabin was cozy and beautifully decorated, and it had a fantastic green-living setup. I appreciated the attention to detail, from the welcome treats to the secure outdoor areas for my pets. However, it would have been even better if there were more varied amenities for humans. Overall, it's an excellent retreat for both pets and their owners!

Our stay at Barkwells was wonderful, especially for our four-legged friend! The cabins are spacious and well-equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. The natural surroundings and amenities like the dog wash are fantastic. However, we did encounter a few socialization issues with some other dogs, which slightly impacted our experience. Overall, it’s a great place for dogs and their owners to relax and enjoy nature.

Our stay at Barkwells was nothing short of amazing. The beautiful setting, complete with stunning mountain views and serene ponds, made for a perfect getaway. The cottage was spotless and felt like a home away from home, although we wish the dog-friendly areas had more variety. The service was incredible, making us feel truly special, especially with all the thoughtful touches for our pups. We're eager to return for another well-deserved retreat.
