Family-friendly holiday rentals in Castle Douglas

We had a lovely stay with our 3 dogs at heron view, we enjoyed the spacious living area and comfortable beds. The utility space was a great nook for the dogs if they were wet from walking. Lovely local pub (the Masonic) with friendly people and bar staff. The hot tub was a massive bonus! Thanks Donald We will be back!

We stayed at Simon and Belinda's place for a week and it was exactly what we needed. Fantastic location for walks and food. The Wainwright's Inn is only 0.2 miles away. Great food and local ales on your doorstep. The cottage is cosy, the kitchen is well equipped and the information provided was very thorough and useful. There are some books in the house they have prepared to show various walks and local recommendations. We did some of these walks and our 5 year old enjoyed every second! We took advantage of the leisure facilities at The Langdale. This was a great addition to the cottage! Really recommend if you want a place near to town locations, walks and local pubs/cafés/restaurants.

Beautiful stay, the cottage was incredibly clean and well presented, the bathroom was gorgeous, and the hot tub was excellent. Fab location and great little walk down to the river at the back. 10/10

Lizzie was a fantastic host, she responded to messages and even allowed us to extend our stay into the afternoon. The house was lovely we will definitely look at booking again in the new year. Thank you

Beautiful home. Recently refurbished to an exceptionally high standard. Elizabeth was always responsive and on hand if we needed her. She provided lots of very helpful recommendations for food and activities during our stay. Fabulous home and host.

This place was beyond our expectations. Immaculately presented, super clean, tidy, jaw dropping views. I can't fault it in any way and I can't rate it highly enough. Will definately look to return in the future. Stunning!

What an amazing place! Susan’s home was lovely and located on a beautiful dairy farm. We were immediately welcome by her cats Lucky and Clover (who we adopted for our stay). Susan was always available to answer our questions and took us on a tour of the farm to meet the cows. The house was about 7 minutes from a great village called cockermouth which had pubs, restaurants and many bakeries. A little further and you are in keswick which is one of the bigger towns. We took a boat from there across derwentwater to the famous Catbells and also took a rowboat out on the lake. We also went for a beautiful walk around buttermere lake and a hike into the borrowdale valley. And we even popped over the border into Scotland. It was an amazing trip and a wonderful place to stay. Thank you Susan!!

The stables exceeded our expectations, and Margaret was an incredible host! already looking for when we can come back and visit again, this place is amazing!

Very homely cottage with amazing and fully enclosed back garden. Ideal for your furry friends.

On the outside it looks like your average home but when you go inside its perfect, very spacious and the photos were beautiful and they even provided us with some biscuits to enjoy with a cuppa in the morning, which we has outside in the back garden enjoying the sun and sounds of sheep😊 absolutely lovely! and the shower is top notch, very good shower! 😂 beds were comfy and so was the sofas! thank you for letting us stay :))

Lovely, cosy cottage. Very warm, despite the inclement weather. Under floor heating was lovely! We lit a fire one evening, although we didn't really need it, and it was great!

Zoe was great in communicating and the property is indeed a rare find. The garden was unique and our Labrador loved it.

Well, WOW! We stay in AirBnBs a lot, but Ste's place is something special. The cottage is beautiful, it has so many unique little features, it is incredibly well equipped and has a bunch of lovely, personal touches - local area pictures, welcome basket, the best stocked kitchen ever, local tea and coffee, etc - that make you feel not just right at home but even more - kinda like when you visit your good friends' home and every corner of it tells you something about them that makes you smile. The local area is stunning - we walked our dogs on St Bees sea front twoce every day and ventured out, too. There are a couple of great local pubs, the neighbours are friendly, everything you need is in close reach; the list of positives goes on and on. And not to forget: Ste's hosting was impeccable. Friendly, personable, responsive, he even checked in on us to see how we found it. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. We will most certainly be back. High House Cottage is a true gem!

We stayed for a month to work remotely and explore the local area. It’s a beautiful cottage with amazing outside space - we often worked outside on the upstairs terrace! Great location in the centre of town but still felt private. We had a couple of issues over the month but Alan was extremely responsive and did what he could to resolve ASAP. We would definitely return!

Fabulous little find here. Very functional cottage with some fantastic views. Need to be able to drive but that’s not really a big issue. Very responsive and helpful hosts who made the stay very easy.

We absolutely loved our Christmas at Seaglass Cottage. The hosts were great, answered any questions, gave us detailed instructions for check-in and even put up a Christmas tree and decorations for us. We were very lucky with the weather, enjoying walks along the beach right outside, we even found some seaglass (we felt like children!). The property was very clean, the bedding smelled so fresh, the kitchen had everything you might need, very clean bathroom and handy downstairs loo. Every evening we would sit in the cosy conservatory enjoying a glass of wine, watching the sun go down, people walking along the beachpath with their dogs and then into the lounge for a real log fire. It was perfect and we can't wait to return!

Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

Great lodge situated right at the top of the site, within 2 minutes of a small walk with panoramic views of the valleys. Bedding was super soft & so were the towels, comfy bed, great sleep. Beautiful surroundings to wake up to and sit outdoors with a coffee listening to the birds. Dog friendly! Comfortable sofa! Lots of utensils and plates.

Highly recommended. We had an amazing stay. Thank you.

We had a great stay at Whitbarrow. We have visited the resort before on many occasions. We had some minor issues in the accommodation which were swiftly resolved by Seasons staff. Kal and Anita were great to communicate with leading up to and during the stay also. Very responsive and helpful. Good facilities onsite too and helpful staff. Thank you

Peaceful, private, spacious. Walking distance to beach, shop, restaurant. Kitchen is well equipped. We loved our stay here. Fits 8 comfortably.

Really enjoyed our stay, we were celebrating my Mother’s 90th birthday and had other family members staying in other lodges around the park. Beautiful scenery and great location. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

We had a great stay at Sarahs place. Great location near the beach and also having the pool on site is handy for wet days.

Raphaela and Steve were very helpful and pleasant. They encouraged us to let them know when we needed something. The cottage has a great bathroom and well-appointed kitchen and is very comfortable. We enjoyed the farm-like atmosphere—it’s so peaceful yet so close to amenities. And the grazing cows standing in the road to town were easily nudged with minimal mooing. We loved it!
