Cottage 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!

Lovely time with family at this great cottage. We had never been to this part of Scotland before and Penpont was a very convenient base to explore from. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay for four adults - we loved the log fire and the hot tub! The kitchen is well equipped for self catering and the beds are comfortable. An excellent place to stay for small groups.

Booked this cottage as a getaway to propose to my partner. She said yes, which was great, and the cottage is fantastic. The photos really don't do it justice, the bathroom is massive, bed really comfy and the hot tub is incredible and feels really private (pack flip flops for getting to and from the hottub). The gate to the river is lovely but it's steep so make sure you've got some hiking boots with you. If not, just leave via the front door and turn left to get to the same place. 20 minute drive to Carlisle and about 10 mins to Gretna. Plenty to see and do but you will need to drive, couldn't find a taxi service that was open. Had a really relaxing time here and can't recommend it enough. ps. avoid the cows in the field next to the river walk (the public footpath going to st Michael's well) - they will chase you.

Such a magical place so peaceful and well looked after couldn’t have asked for anything better me and my partner and 2 kids really enjoyed our long weekend there will definitely be coming back

Lovely place. Accurate pictures, though when you get there it feels even nicer than photos can show. Very friendly and responsive. Sometimes it can be quite a vulnerable experience travelling as an LGBTQIA+ couple, but here we felt welcome and safe. Hope to visit again with friends and family.

Really enjoyed my stay here would 100% stay again

Our stay at The Stables was heaven. Paul welcomed us and showed us around and had even set up the hot tub for us arriving. The house was immaculate with everything you could possibly need and beautifully decorated too. We loved the Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom. The garden was beautiful and so peaceful and our two dogs loved it, it was completely secure for them which meant we could relax. The view from the garden and the location were wonderful, it was just what we needed. We didn’t want to leave and would love to come back sometime soon. Thank you for being wonderful hosts and for our cheeseboard and Prosecco it was such a thoughtful touch.

For what our group wanted it was perfect not a bad word to say about the place, perfect or group weekend away in the country side just what a place!

lovely cottage, lovely area and lovely people, including Andrew and Yvette. and the dogs ha ha ha

A lovely cottage in a beautiful area. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog and there were places to walk him too from the village. Location is quiet, peaceful and private.

Nic's lovely place in Wigtown is the perfect place to explore all the bookstores in town and the beautiful scenery with amazing views. It's easy to get to and into, spotlessly clean and well appointed. Thanks for a great stay Nic!

We had a lovely stay at Sophie’s Cottage Barn. We used it as a base to hike in the Lake District as well as go up to Hadrian’s Wall. The place was lovely and it was great to have our own private house. Sophie was great and gave good recommendations about the local area. Would highly recommend

The cottage was excellent Linda was very friendly the village doesn’t have anything in it bar a hotel and shop but it’s really good for dog walking which was what we were after. Highly recommend if you want it quiet

I had a lovely few days at Lesley's place. It's secluded and quiet which is just what I was after. The views are beautiful and I was lucky enough to have clear skies to do some stargazing. The house itself is well set up and comfortable. Lots of great locations within a short distance and Lesley had some nice recommendations of places to go. I would advise to arrive in good daylight as the track to and through the farm is very dark.

Tim and I had a wonderful time staying at Stephanie’s Airbnb. She was very friendly and quick with communication. The house had a beautiful garden with a pond and a friendly chicken. The kitchen and living room was spacious and homely and the bed was super comfortable. We had come in spring so it was incredible waking up every morning to listen to so many birds and to watch the sunsets from the kitchen window at night. Will defo come again :)

What a fab find! We stayed here for 5 day's and really enjoyed our stay as did Sacha cat! It’s in a beautiful spot and very peaceful. The cottage is a fantastic space it has everything you need for your stay, the wood burner keeps the place cosy for lovely relaxing evenings. Would highly recommend the cottage and look forward to visiting again!

Loved my stay at this beautiful cottage. Such a spacious, homely cottage with an amazing big enclosed garden for the dog. I’ll definitely be back!

Nice cosy cottage, lovely to meet you neil, thank you for welcome pack, A1 all round

We stayed at the cottage for new year. Weather wasn't great but cottage was very cosy especially the bedrooms. There is a log fire and we arrived to logs and kindling. You can buy more at the Premier store 5 mins walk away. We had the dog and there is a wee garden there for her. Beach is 2 mins away for walk. Girvan is really underrated, great beach with awsome food van at carpark. Nice pubs and we had a great chippy at the marine and got a delivery from A1 both amazing. Also amazing coastline and no too far from Turnberry which is worth a look. Will hopefully be back during warmer weather.

Excellent modern cottage on the outskirts of Gatehouse of Fleet, in the hills up to Galloway forest. A great retreat for quietness and to get away from it all. The hosts are excellent, this being on a farm it was nice to see the animals. Would love to be back someday. Enjoyed having 7 days of sun sitting on that patio.

We loved Fairy Cottage's location, very peaceful, but there is lots to do in the surrounding area and it's very close to Lochside where we were attending a wedding reception. Hugh was so helpful and friendly - nothing too much trouble. He greeted us when we arrived and showed us around. The cottage is beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need for a stay in this area. We only wished that we could have stayed longer - we were there for just 1 night. Angela had left us some little cakes which were much appreciated by us with a cup of tea after our 5 hour jorney from Lancashire after delays on the M6. Would definitely recommend Fairy Cottage if you're ever in New Cumnock area. Many thanks Hugh and Angela! Peter and Diane

The house was warm and comfortable with everything we needed. We appreciated the Christmas tree and decorations which made it feel especially welcoming. It is in a scenic and peaceful area with some interesting places to explore nearby. The conservatory and garden would make it an ideal place to visit in the summer. We would certainly recommend this property.

We really enjoyed our stay at Keeper’s Cottage. Exactly what we needed for a post Christmas de-stress. The kids loved exploring the garden and Amy is a super helpful host, going above and beyond to make sure you have an enjoyable stay.

We have had a lovely few days here and would most definitely recommend the host John and the cottage
