Family-friendly holiday rentals in Kirkcudbright

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

Thank you Lisa and Mark for a lovely stay to attend The Lakesman triathlon. Being walking distance into Keswick proper, but slightly out of the ‘hubbub’ of the town was ideal for us. Your responsiveness and proactivity on communication made the weekend for us. Thank you again 💚🙏🏽

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!!

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!

The Mouse House, is great accommodation for two people. It has everything you need to enjoy your stay and it is warm and cosy . The outstanding feature of the property is its location, we parked the car when we arrived and never touched it until we left . The view from the cottage is fantastic looking straight across to Cat Bells , which is just over an hours walk from the front door to the summit. The Swinside pub is an 20 minute walk. If you’re into walking the fells of Newlands then this is prefect.

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!

Another great week at Hightae

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 house is amazingly spacious for its appearance with two sitting rooms (with fires) and a huge garden dining room. The kitchen is fully fitted with all you need from cookware to utensils and there are basics as well. The place was perfectly clean and in good order. The house is quiet and in the back the burn murmurs close by. The village of Auchencairn is charming . The local shop is just steps from the cottage and serves coffee and cakes. You can preorder dinners. Don’t miss the local organic Torr Farm organic milk (there are bottles to fill in the cottage. Nearby Castle Douglas is food centric with three specialty butchers and a world class baker, Earth’s Crust. There are so many local walks either directly out the door of the cottage or within a short ride it’s impossible to do them all in a week. Don’t miss the Balcary Bay cliffs. Golf at Southerness GC is the best of Scottish golf. Kirkcudbright is charming artist town with an excellent museum. Go!

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

A great place to stay just opposite the cinema close to the main square and shopping streets. A slightly tight entrance for larger vehicles through the courtyard but ample parking for even big SUV’s which is a bonus in Keswick. The house is great, everything you need and more. There is a parking spot for another property as you access the cottage and this proved problematic as I use a mobility scooter and due to inconsiderate parking by whomever, I could not access the cottage for charging and had to struggle past the parked vehicle. I should point out that this is nothing to do with Sandra. Overall a great beer festival was had and Sandra made this possible for me with her help and nothing is too much attitude. Highly recommended.

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.

Well, WOW! We stay in AirBnBs a lot, but Ste's place is something special. The cottage is beautiful, it has so many unique little features, it is incredibly well equipped and has a bunch of lovely, personal touches - local area pictures, welcome basket, the best stocked kitchen ever, local tea and coffee, etc - that make you feel not just right at home but even more - kinda like when you visit your good friends' home and every corner of it tells you something about them that makes you smile. The local area is stunning - we walked our dogs on St Bees sea front twoce every day and ventured out, too. There are a couple of great local pubs, the neighbours are friendly, everything you need is in close reach; the list of positives goes on and on. And not to forget: Ste's hosting was impeccable. Friendly, personable, responsive, he even checked in on us to see how we found it. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. We will most certainly be back. High House Cottage is a true gem!

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!!
