Covid-Confident Certificate

We're delighted that the AA has now approved Cologin's Covid-19 enhanced cleaning and sanitisation protocols and listed us on their Rated Trips website.

We do ask that our guests also take responsibility for their own health and hygiene and we encourage frequent hand washing and social distancing from others on site and in the Barn Bar.

The Barn’s Back in Business – now open daily

The Barn Bar closed way back in March following Scottish government guidelines and reopened to the public on 16th July. Not surprisingly there were plenty of locals in the first night - testing the new one way system and getting used to Covid 19 changes. Thankfully some things have not changed. There’s craft ale in the taps and good home cooked food on offer at affordable prices.  Despite the masks and visors there’s still the same friendly welcome from the staff so please come along and give...

We’re OFFICIALLY Good to Go!

We are delighted to announce that we've acquired the 'Good to Go' UK wide Industry Standard mark for Cologin. This means that our business has followed government and industry COVID-19 guidelines, has a Risk Assessment in place and a process to maintain cleanliness and aid social distancing.

Scandinavian Hot Tub – Cologin Farmhouse

We have been so focused on dealing with Covid 19 that we've forgotten to share some of our good news stories from Cologin! Well at long last Cologin Farmhouse now has new additional decking to house a beautiful Scandinavian wood-fired hot tub. Shipped from Sweden this big wooden outdoor tub holds a lot of water. It does take quite a while to get up to temperature so best combined with a BBQ on the terrace whilst you wait. You can book the optional extra of it being filled...

Short Breaks This Summer

We’ve seen a big change in holiday booking patterns over the 25 years we’ve been welcoming guests to Cologin. In recent years the trend for shorter breaks has really taken off and is now an established vacation which has been adopted by families as well as couples, seniors and business visitors. We want to ensure that Cologin can accommodate short breaks regardless of the season and this year we’ve decided to reduce our minimum stay during the peak summer months to reflect this growing trend. If you can...
