Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Loch Ken

We loved staying here. It is an exceptional setting with stunning views whatever the weather. The cottage is beautifully done out inside and feels like home away from home. You can completely cut off from the outside world and relax and unwind. Absolutely worth the 5 stars and we’ll definitely be booking to go back.

We absolutely loved our stay at Ruthwaite Farm. The property is large, spacious and very peaceful. Although the property is large, the design and furnishing means it still feels very cosy and homely. I particularly loved the sofa on the landing area upstairs with views of the mountains. The kitchen is large and very well equipped. There is a large dining table with a big ordnance survey map of the Lake District behind which was extremely helpful (much easier than laying a map out on the table!) and a personal touch that I loved :). The village location is so peaceful and idyllic, and means you get a taste of real Lake District life away from some of the more touristy areas. David is a great host - the most friendly, helpful and responsive host of all airbnbs I have stayed at.

A great place to stay for a small group/family gathering. There are 2 living rooms and outdoor space so room to spread out. We loved the hot tub! The hobbit house is a cool addition with fairy lights, a Bluetooth speaker and is very well-insulated so warm even without the central fire going. The house has beautiful views and was a lovely place to relax and be cosy on rainy days. Only a short (15 mins) drive to the small towns of Kirkcudbright and Castle Douglas, Threave Gardens and the Kite feeding place at Laurieston.

This was my second time staying here and it was even better than the first time. It has amazing views and a great, private outdoor area. You are away from everyone else while being only few minutes drive or 20-30 minutes walk to the shops and town. The people in the town are the friendly you’ll meet. The bedrooms are all comfortable, the kitchen is a cooks dream. The living room is cozy with the fire going, and has a projector for late night movies. The closed in porch is great for breakfast or cards at night. Great place to getaway and disconnect. Loads of books to read. The WiFi is reliable and you could work remotely without issue if needed. Lots of nature and hikes nearby. This is probably my favorite Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. I can’t wait till I can stay here again.

Two words to describe Bonshaw Grange - "Flawless" and "Perfection." This is no ordinary stay, this is a unique experience that transports you to a magical place. Everything was perfect from start to finish. John was incredible from start to finish, with all the comms, responsive to messages, accomodated all requests. Went above and Beyond, and really contributed to making a 40th Birthday weekend celebration so very special. Everyone was blown away by the house, the gardens, the decor, the facilities - all truly luxe with no expense spared. The love, care and attention to every single detail is evident. I really congratulate John and Dan for creating such an amazing and beautiful space. I want to gatekeep this beautiful place but have already told so many friends & family. The children did not want to leave and already discussing our return and when we can book again and for longer! Truly Outstanding! Thank you so much for Everything!

We loved our stay in this house (4 adults and one dog). It’s a great location in walking distance to Keswick and meters away from a lovely park - great for dog walks. The property is well equipped, the kitchen / diner / conservatory space is large and light and there’s plenty of space for everyone. Garden fully secure, perfect for our dog. Keswick is a wonderful base to explore the Lakes, would highly recommend it.

This was our second lovely stay at Gina's and we had a great holiday. Moniaive is a beautiful little village and the cottage is perfect- we even had some sunshine this time so could enjoy the garden! Gina is a great host and made sure we had everything we needed and very kindly left us a little gift to thank us for rebooking. We would love to stay again- thank you Gina!

Had a fantastic 5 days stay in a wonderful home. Beautiful decor, gr8 facilities, easy to get into town. Very friendly host. Would definitely recommended and would definitely return

We stayed here on our way to the Highlands as a stop over and it was perfect. There was myself, my partner and our 9 year old daughter. Deborah was very welcoming to us after such a long drive, she had prepared a lovely lunch of sandwiches and cake for us and left some milk in the fridge for a very welcome cup of tea and coffee. The place was spotless and had everything we could possibly need. The weather was not fantastic but in the summer the garden would be lovey to sit and relax in. The highlight for my little girl was the jacuzzi bath which was fantastic! The place was very cosy and we easily could have stayed for longer had we had more time in our trip. The beach was very close which was much appreciated by our dog Bella. We will definitely consider staying here again on our next trip to the Highlands.

Amazing place to stay. I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Liz is very responsive and extremely kind. Seriously one of the best places I’ve stayed. I’d highly recommend this place to any friends or family. A+

A truly beautiful place. All amenities provided. Warm, comfortable with a great view of the sea. A short walk to Troon and on the beachfront. Lovely welcome boxes - thoughtful. One of the nicest places we have stayed in. We very much enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely stay and everything was as described. Lots of local shops are within walking distance, parking wasn’t an issue and we had a pleasant stay.

Great stay, great place, took us a little while to find due to map highlighting the main location so just check you have the right address and you will soon find it…

Awesome hosts. I wish I had stayed longer.

Perfect setting for pristine accommodation. The 'container' lodge was impeccably clean, very fresh looking with a cozy but modern vibe to it. Living area sliding doors are a nice touch, well equipped kitchen and all necessary utensils available. Another nice touch was how good the shower was ! The simple things in life ! Hot tub and fire pit area well thought out for both privacy and protection from wind on breezy nights, and like the inside of the lodge also impeccably clean. Highly recommend for escaping from the world for a few days, and will certainly look to book again . Every part hassle free and communication of instructions & help couldnt have been better. A well deserved 10/10

Nicky and Steve are very friendly and helpful hosts. Location is very peaceful with lots of character. Great location for exploring the area. We played golf at Glenluce and Newton Stewart, and there is lot more to do in the area. Pool table very good to have available on the day of torrential Lounge area is very comfortable. Would recommend to anyone wanting to visit the area.

Very comfortable and well-equipped cottage, perfect for a quiet break. Set in a very nice garden, a short walk from the sea and with cycle routes directly into the forest. Host was very friendly and helpful, we had an excellent time.

We had such a fantastic time at the lodge. The sunset was beautiful, the hot tub was lovely and spacious and the lodge itself was much bigger than we expected. There were lots of comfy spaces to relax and enjoy the nice weather. We will definitely be coming back!

The perfect getaway shepherds hut, really cosy and lovely interior in a beautiful surrounding with lot’s of cute sheep :)

Lovely peaceful place to stay, we were lucky and picked a fairly mild weekend in feb, wood and coal were provided but brought extra to have the fire on all weekend. Toilet and shower in the building were clean and close in proximity. Stephanie and Rick were lovely hosts and most welcoming. Would love to come back when it’s a bit warmer ☺️ ☀️

We had a fantastic time there! The level of comfort is 11/10 ✨ The place is so beautiful, all the details! Vinyl set a nice mood! Birdwatching is incredible here, we made a wee woodpecker friend hahah so pretty! The super king-size bed is amazing! We were looking for a place to chill and relax, and it was just what we were looking for. Easy to get a taxi there from Ayr.. and you have anything you need in the room. The wood fire outside, watching the moon and hearing the stream flowing by! 🤍🤍 Adam and Katherine, Thank you for creating this place and sharing it with us! You made it very special.

great place, great value, great area. Will come again. I'd definitely use the what 3 words to find it tho. Marion's instruction were accurate so follow them if you dobt have w3w. Iflf you click on the directions on Airbnb Google maps, it doesn't take you there!

It was a really good stay for my girlfriend’s birthday. She was very helpful. I’d never used air bnb before. And arranged this last minute.

Two night stay which was brilliant, the lodges give a very peaceful escape from busy lives! Angela was great with communication and always available if needed. The lodge was very clean and comfortable with a great hot tub and unreal views! Also some very lovely Highland Cows and Belted Galloway’s in the field added to the views nicely. Would definitely recommend to others and will definitely stay again!
