Family-friendly vacation rentals in Newton Stewart

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!

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

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 a wonderful stay - Diane was so helpful with her information Nothing was too much trouble Eggs delivered ready for breakfast Views stunning from Garden and hot tub All round just great

Very pleasant stay! Diana was a fantastic host who works hard to ensure her guests have a brilliant time when staying as her guests! We would definitely stay again!

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!!

We loved The Stables At the Annandale Distillery. Margaret came by to say hello and give us instructions on the use of the hot tub, which we used nightly. The space was private and quiet. We cooked in a very well appointed kitchen a couple of nights. Found everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. We really appreciated having everything on one floor, which made it easy for our cousin to access (including the bathroom). Thank you Margaret!

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🥰

Another great week at Hightae

Great place. Map at end of drive to show where your accomodation was. Friendly staff. In reach of lots of walks

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.

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 spacious cottage with enclosed garden in a beautiful setting. Great for the dog with a useful dog walking field in the campsite on the farm. We were only there for two nights but we enjoyed a visit to the nearby castle which has lovely gardens and grounds.

The cottage was absolutely lovely, it is spacious and really comfortable particularly the sofas and bed. Everything is spotlessly clean and Penny is a superb host. The cottage is a joy to spend time at and it also has a lovely enclosed garden and you can see down to the bay. Penny and her husband Archie are really friendly, helpful hosts and there is also lots of information about things to do on the beautiful island of Arran. We had a fantastic holiday. Thank you

Lovely place with fab sunset views & great beach walks. Nice to meet David & Una. Lovely touches like biscuits, tea, coffee & sugar sachets as well as some other essentials like salt, pepper, oil and cling film. Very clean. The pristine kitchen is well stocked with utensils etc., but a few more plates would be useful to save using the dishwasher as often or having to wash by hand in between meals. Aware of no WiFi when booking and didn't think this would be a problem as we have plenty of data, but the 4g signal isn't great, so more of an issue than expected - would be great if apartment had WiFi.

This was a cosy little cottage, perfect for the 3 us. The kitchen had all the utensils we needed to cook ourselves, and location was perfect as there were a few restaurants within walking distance. It was not far from Wasdale and Scafell Pike. Communication with Natasha was great throughout, even after we checked out; she tried to help us locate a missing item. I would 100% recommend and most definitely return again. A really pleasant stay.

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.

What a lovely, lovely place to stay. The lodge manages to be both cosy and spacious at the same time. There are three really nice bedrooms plus three bathrooms and the main living space is big, with plenty of space for lounging, reading, playing games or watching the tv after a day at the beach. The thing I always love when I go to stay anywhere is great bedding and the lodge was not a disappointment! The downstairs double bed had the most incredible duvet, huge and fluffy and warm - lovely for lying in bed in the morning looking at the great view from the french doors with a cup of tea. We used the swimming pool, using the booking system, which was nice. You book a session in the pool, which you have for your own use during your session. Having the pool to ourselves was a bit of a treat! There is a lovely pub on site too, although we sat outside due to the current situation, we went in to order drinks and it was really nice inside. Though no local beer, which would have been nice. The lodge is within walking distance of a really amazing, amazing beach - just beautiful. You can do lots of really great walks from the lodge, along the beach or the coastal walk, as well as through the many lovely forests in the area. We were lucky enough to see red squirrels! Despite some slight issues with communication (down to a problem with technology and not on their part) we had a wonderful time and are very much looking forward to returning. We would really recommend Barend as a wonderful place to visit, the lodge was absolutely gorgeous (did I mention the amazing duvet?!) and just a few minutes walk from the most incredible beach. A perfect trip away. We will absolutely be making a return trip

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.

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!!
