Family-friendly holiday rentals in Castle Douglas

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!

Beautiful stay, the cottage was incredibly clean and well presented, the bathroom was gorgeous, and the hot tub was excellent. Fab location and great little walk down to the river at the back. 10/10

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

Beautiful home. Recently refurbished to an exceptionally high standard. Elizabeth was always responsive and on hand if we needed her. She provided lots of very helpful recommendations for food and activities during our stay. Fabulous home and host.

Perfect stay for our group of friends. Communication was great, and we had everything we needed. We were really happy with the accommodation (and the bbq and hot tub!). Great spot to venture into the Lake District, and very easy to get to. Thank you!

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 Kennels is a gem in potention. It easily could've been an inspiration for some of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. Because the cottage has this special dated atmosphere... Perfect beds gave us a great night's sleep. We enjoyed the lovely garden with rare flowers and over 20 sorts of birds. For bikers: it's situated close to mountainbike tracks. Take the slow road and you will be treated to beautiful views. Ollie was very kind to allow us a late check out and provided us new pans.

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 :))

We had a great stay at Richard's place. A great size for a family get together with enough space for us to be together but also quiet areas available if needed. Perfect location next to the river with beautiful countryside on the doorstep. Would love to return.

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 stayed for a month to work remotely and explore the local area. It’s a beautiful cottage with amazing outside space - we often worked outside on the upstairs terrace! Great location in the centre of town but still felt private. We had a couple of issues over the month but Alan was extremely responsive and did what he could to resolve ASAP. We would definitely return!

A fantastic place very close to the sea . The kitchen combined with the living room and access to a nice terrace is absolutely wonderful . Leah and Gary even supplied everything for a full breakfast , we appreciated that very much . It was delicious. The two bedrooms were very comfy, we loved the beds . Nice bedsheets and cushions ! Plus two bathrooms with toiletries supplied . All in all we can highly recommend Leahs and Garys place by the sea. Ps : Iain was very helpful

We absolutely loved our Christmas at Seaglass Cottage. The hosts were great, answered any questions, gave us detailed instructions for check-in and even put up a Christmas tree and decorations for us. We were very lucky with the weather, enjoying walks along the beach right outside, we even found some seaglass (we felt like children!). The property was very clean, the bedding smelled so fresh, the kitchen had everything you might need, very clean bathroom and handy downstairs loo. Every evening we would sit in the cosy conservatory enjoying a glass of wine, watching the sun go down, people walking along the beachpath with their dogs and then into the lounge for a real log fire. It was perfect and we can't wait to return!

Sophie is an excellent host. The cottage barn was spotless and matched the description. A very cozy stay. We had perfect weather so were able to enjoy the patio every morning and evening. A perfect little get away in the countryside.

The place was perfect for us, great location for our day trips. We turned the heat on the first night and it was toasty warm. We loved driving the back roads and the parking was great. Would recommend!

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.

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.

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

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!!
