Family-friendly vacation 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

Thank you, Elizabeth, for a great weekend! The Old School House was fantastic. The house was impeccably clean and well-stocked with everything we could possibly need, and we felt right at home. Elizabeth provided great local tips although the unkind weather limited what we could do. But this meant more time for the fabulous hot-tub. The comfortable lounge was a great place for the family to chill and chat in the evenings - I don't think the TV was turned on at all. Just a great place to stay. Can't recommend highly enough.

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!

We had the most amazing time staying at Anne’s place. She was very welcoming and the welcome basket we received was a lovely touch. The perfect area for our quiet get away, very close to everything we needed. The cottage itself was spotless and had a nice homely feel to it. It’s even better than the pictures and really exceeded our expectations. All the facilities we needed and the hot tub was the perfect luxury! Thank you for everything, we’ll definitely be back🥰

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!

Good host, clear instructions, very proactive. Nice place in a lovely area of Galloway. Thanks for a nice stay.

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.

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.

Had a great stay at Kirkandrews House with some friends on a golf trip. This is a great location for large groups doing onward treks on Hadrian's wall. Clean and comfortable, spacious with great fireplaces and beautiful surroundings!

We loved spending Easter weekend in this lovely home. It was well equipped with everything we needed, and we enjoyed both the wood burning stove and the nice sunny terrace after exploring Cockermouth and the Lake District.

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.

Thanks for a great stay. The pool and the pub were lovely additions. We really enjoyed our holiday.

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!!
