⭐Stunning⭐ Cottage with Hot Tub
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!

5 Star Cottage with Hot Tub- Key to the Esk
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.

Fleet View
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

The Byre, Spoutwells Holiday Cottages, Stranraer
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.

Wigtown, Beautiful solar powered Yurt
We had an incredible stay at the yurt! Alison and Brent were wonderful hosts – friendly, responsive, and full of great recommendations for local attractions. The yurt itself was exactly as described, providing everything we needed for a perfect getaway. After a day of adventure, relaxing in the hot tub under the stars was the perfect way to unwind. Alison and Brent truly made our holiday unforgettable with their thoughtful touches and hospitality.

Little Meadow
So grateful to Susan for hosting us at very short notice. Spent 3 nights here and would have loved to have stayed longer. The house was warm and cosy, the kitchen was well appointed with plenty of utensils etc to cook family meals. The lounge was very comfortable and the bedrooms also comfortable. Hot tub a definite bonus and spent every evening watching the stars. Lovely pub approx a mile away. Could have walked it but weather not ideal, served delicious food. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

DISTILLERY(The Stables) with private HOT TUB
Staying at The Distillery was an absolute dream. Communication with Margaret was outstanding and we felt immediately welcomed. The welcome pack and touches were really appreciated. Location was fantastic and we could travel into the Lakes with ease, within Dumfries and Galloway, and even got the train to Edinburgh for a day out with ease. Evenings were spent relaxing in the hot tub under the stars. You won't be disappointed if you book here!

Ancrum House, Gretna Green
Eight of us had a lovely stay at Gretna for a wedding. The space is huge and spotless, with everything you might need for a stay. Tracey was super helpful in providing options for local taxis and recommendations, thanks so much!

Cosy quiet bungalow in Galloway Forest Park
We had a lovely few days at Dave and Beth's place in Glentrool. lots of walks from the front door! Cottage had everything we needed, and was clean and comfortable. We would love to come back one day and hopefully be luckier with the dark skies! highly recommended!

Curlew Cottage and Free Shepherd's Hut
A lovely cottage with all the amenities needed with out any fuss. Our son especially liked his bedroom with the balcony over the living room and the Shepard's hut was lovely to retreat to in the evening with the fire, especially when it was typical Scottish weather.. A lovely stay would come back for longer next time & Danielle was lovely when we couldn't figure out the bedroom blind and we even met the dogs on the last morning who were curious but well behaved.

Senwick Glebe Annex
Beautiful accommodation , welcoming hosts and a truly peaceful place to stay. It felt secluded and quiet here. There are a couple of lovely walks from the house and plenty to do in the surrounding area a short car journey away.

The Cheese House Self Catering Cottage
It's lovely place to stay surrounded by lovely landscape. Amazing for families with kids who love nature. I would definitely come again!

Rural cottage in total tranquility
Such a lovely host. Me and my family felt very welcome and right at home. The cottage has amazing scenery, very cozy inside. We will definitely rebook. Very happy

Modern luxury accommodation, close to the beach
We only got to stay for the weekend for a family wedding, but were blown away by the location and how stunning the house was. Super clean arrival instructions made for a seamless experience. Huge thanks. Can’t wait to be back!

Back Lodge. Alticry Farm
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.

Garden Cottage @ Catlands Foot Farm near Ireby
We have stayed many times at the cottage with our dog, and plan to rebook again.
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

58 Barend, 3 Bedroom Lodge - Swimming Pool & Pub
Had a family weekend which was great from start to finish. The lodge was lovely, clean and actually better than described. Beautiful surroundings with lovely pub for food. Swimming pool was great too. Overall amazing experience - thank you, Sarah.

55 Barend Holiday Lodges: free swimming and golf
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

Spacious Cottage in the Lake District 3 Bedrooms
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

51 Barend, 3 Bedroom Lodge - Swimming Pool & Pub
Brilliant stay at Barend. The lodge was as described, clean and cosy and in a lovely peaceful location. Having exclusive use of the pool was also fun! We found it so relaxing it was hard to leave 😅

44 Barend, 3 Bedroom Lodge - Swimming Pool & Pub
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!
