Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Dumfries and Galloway

The Cottage is perfect if you like a peaceful stay with beautiful scenery , it has everything you need and with a secure garden area to let your dogs have a sniff around. We have already booked for our summer holidays.

Kirkcudbright is a very nice town. Worth a visit: peaceful, green, clean and probably the friendliest people I have come across. The house really is perfect - one of the best we have stayed at. Host is friendly and proactive in communication. Getting there, getting in and getting comfortable is all so easy. I cannot think of anything to find fault with- everything you need is here and how you want it. Lovely welcome pack too. Lots of space in the house and dog friendly (lots of good walking areas behind the house).

The place was absolutely beautiful, clean and had everything you need. The house was massive, the pictures don’t do it justice. The bedrooms and beds were super comfy and the bathrooms were spotless. There’s a spacious garden in the back and lots of space for parking. The location was perfect , not too far from the main locations in the Lake District. The check-in process was very easy and David’s instructions were clear and easy to follow. David was responsive and gave us lots of local recommendations. If you’re a big group traveling by car, I highly recommend this place.

We treated ourselves to a stay here over the weekend of our wedding and it was just the best base for everything we needed. Excellent space and lovely host who was very flexible and helpful. Thank you.

We had a fantastic few days away in this house. there was plenty of space for two families of four and a dog. The enclosed garden and garden furniture were a great addition, especially as the weather was lovely while we were there. Would definitely book again in the future.

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The house was incredibly spacious—perfect for a big group or family getaway. The garden was beautiful and well-kept, offering a lovely outdoor space to relax. Everything was sparkling clean, and the place had almost every amenity we could ask for. Clearly well maintained and thoughtfully prepared. A special shoutout to our host, Jade—she was amazing! Super responsive and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed. She wouldn’t even take a minute to respond to our questions. Truly made the experience even better. We would definitely love to visit again!

I had a wonderful stay at Gina’s place! The home was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. Gina was an exceptional host—friendly, responsive, and making sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. The neighbourhood was peaceful and well-located. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming and relaxing stay!

We stayed here as we were visiting for a wedding close by. Linden is a superb host and communication was fabulous. the Airbnb is beautiful and homely. We would love to book it again next time we visit as we noticed it is dog friendly too. We had a lovely walk along the River which is just over the road 💕 Thank you again Linden

The caravan was tastefully decorated, sparkling clean and right by the little pond - definitely the best spot in the holiday park! It had all the equipment we needed and there was lots to do for the children around the holiday park as well. Can't fault it really..

A fabulous cottage in a stunning setting. Three of us went for Easter weekend and had the best time. Great to have your own hot tub and the other facilities are more than worth the extra charge. We really enjoyed the swimming pool! We had an issue with the oven on our first night and after mentioning this to the hosts it was replaced by a brand new oven the next morning in the couple of hours we were planning to be out sightseeing. It didn't affect our stay and we thought it summed up how helpful and responsive our hosts were. Jacqui and Lenny were amazing and really look after the guests that were there during our stay. Do not hesitate to book, we will be going back 🙂

Our 1st time at Cruggleton Lodge - though we have stayed at the relatively adjacent High Lodge several times. As at HL before, we had an idyllic week - which the facilities at CL provided an excellent foundation for. CL is secluded, set in the edge of woodlands, with breath-taking views out to sea. The walk through the woods down to Garlieston starts literally outside the door. Woods containing deer, hares and a wide variety of bird species. Have already booked again!

Amazing place to stay, beautiful scenery, caravan was beautiful and Martin is a very friendly and amenable host. Would definitely come back

the Campervan was really clean and spacious. It had adequate utensils,69miles from Bowness-on-Windermere and 49 miles from Ullswater steamers and around 1hr driving distance from Buttermere .It has a very nice beach close to it. Heating was reasonbaly okay but it automatically switched to 5deg even if fix it at 30 .So had to wake up with cold feet and fix the thermostat again. I was quite late to come. and Laura was super responsive. I found it bit difficult to locate the campervan even at day time. I think adding a map would be really helpful Overall happy with the place

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.

Thankyou Brenda and Ronnie for being wonderfully thoughtful hosts. Your homely caravan was the perfect place to stay. Our stay was peaceful and relaxing.

Just home from a weekend stay with our 2 young kids. We had a fantastic few days, some well needed down time ahead of a busy Christmas. The lodge was beautiful inside & out with everything you needed & more. The hot tub was a great addition - even in the Scottish rain! Karen is a superb host, couldn’t recommend this place enough! We will 100% be back in the summer months x

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.

A wonderful place to stay for a family holiday of 4 generations. The house was spotlessly clean, spacious, had comfy beds and 2 large beautiful bathrooms. The enclosed garden was a perfect place for my 2 year old grandson to explore while my mum could sit and relax. Location was beautiful with a short walk to the harbour, Southern Upland Way and local play park. Katie was welcoming and super responsive getting a travel cot to the property on the first day after me forgetting to add it in the booking. Hope to be back!

We all had an amazing time ! Plenty space for our family of 11 and 3 dogs.

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.

Lovely cosy, clean, comfortable cottage in beautiful peaceful surroundings. Well equipped with extra touches, basket of goodies etc. Emily gave very clear instructions and good communication, it was lovely to meet Carol who was very friendly. Good location to visit surrounding areas and only a short easy drive to Ayr. Highly recommend, would return if in area again.

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!

Beautiful lodge/cabin and exceptionally clean too. It really is a home from home because there is absolutely everything you need and more. I was worried that due to the structure that it might be cold, but no, it was toasty and warm and the double bed and bedding was so comfy and cosy that I wanted to put it in my car and bring it home with me! Gareth and Kate had left a dog bowl with some biscuits and another bowl out on the decking filled with toys for the dog to play with. That was incredibly kind and very thoughtful of them, it was also much appreciated by Hector the Schnoodle. Foodwise, we had a delicious take-away for the Indian restaurant in Moffat and they even delivered to the Reception area of the park which is a 2 minute walk away. All in all, would I return? Yes, without a doubt and I don't say that about many places. Definitely book to stay, you'll love the peace and quiet, the beautiful tree right outside, the lake and the bazillion cute bunnies hopping around.

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.
