Family-friendly holiday rentals in Dumfries and Galloway

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!

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.

We loved our stay. The house (Byre) is beautiful and far more spacious than photos give credit for. Added bonus for us, wheelchair accessable from patio doors into kitchen/dinning/lounge area. Wheelchair accessible into downstairs bathroom/shower and bedroom. There is a shower stool in cupboard next to bathroom. The upstairs landing area has a cosy couch/snug between bedrooms and upstairs toilet/Shower room. Beautiful scenory surrounding Cottages and we all completely felt at home and relaxed instantly. House very clean and fresh. Stranraer in walking distance with pavement at road end of cottages. Lovely walking options around cottages. Kitchen comes very well equipped and decent sized fridge freezer. We look forward to returning.

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!

Absolute paradise! The house is incredible: so spacious, so clean, so modern and all the amenities you could wish for. Tracey is such a helpful and attentive host and has gone above and beyond to make sure guests have everything they could ever need. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Accommodation was booked for colleagues for business purposes. Everything was exactly as described and suited out needs perfectly. Very friendly host and communicative hosts. Would definitely stay here again!

Such a beautiful home and perfect for our family’s stay for our daughter’s wedding at a farm nearby. Such a unique property and we were grateful for the gorgeous back garden since we had such great weather. Kitchen was well-equipped and we enjoyed the setup of the house overall.

Great experience! The host is easy and quick to communicate with, Lovely place!

Loved our stay, beautiful grounds and gardens. The house was perfect for our family getaway and very comfortable all round.

Lovely peaceful cottage on the farm. Anne was happy to help with all of our questions. Wonderful views from the living room and great for kids to be close to the farm animals.

We had a great stay at Richard's place. A great size for a family get together with enough space for us to be together but also quiet areas available if needed. Perfect location next to the river with beautiful countryside on the doorstep. Would love to return.

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!

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!

We had such a lovely eater weekend at lodge 54. The park is gorgeous and the lodge has everything you need. All the home comforts! The pool was great and the kids loved it. Lots to do in the surrounding area, we loved it. Kippford is definitely worth a visit. We had a meal at The Anchor and breakfast at the tea rooms there. Would highly recommend. The place is beautiful, as is all of the surrounding area. We are already planning our next visit.

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

Great place to stay with families with dogs.Kids loved it and didn't want to go home.Great for relaxing our being more active,would definitely stay again maybe try the summer this time.

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.

We had an absolutely superb stay at this cabin! The hosts have thought of everything—every household utensil, cleaning product, and appliance we needed was readily available. It truly felt like a home away from home. We also appreciated the thoughtful extras, like the collection of games, DVDs, and books, which made for cozy evenings indoors. The stuffed toy dogs were a lovely touch for the children, and they adored them! The cabin was spotless, and we were impressed with how well-organized everything was, including the garbage disposal system. The private pool was a fantastic addition, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Overall, this was one of the best stays we’ve had, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommend!

Great cabin, very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The sofa was so comfortable we all fell asleep several times! It’s very quiet on the site which is nice and the views of the loch are lovely. The site is in a great location with the loch just a short walk away where you can enjoy a short walk round & you can also fish. The beach is a short drive away with lovely soft sand and there’s a few shops & restaurants nearby. The on site pool is available for private hire which was fantastic, we loved it. We also ate at the beagle pub which was really nice, plenty to choose from and there was colouring stuff, books & games for the kids which they enjoyed. Really reasonably priced meal as well. Would really recommend & would come again ☺️

Lovely clean lodge and lovely area for a short stay!!
