Cottage holiday rentals in Southend

Lovely place, nice people. Fenced area around the hot tub was great for the dog Would highly recommend.

What a lovely stay we had at this amazing house! Great size for larger family get away. Suitable for mobility issues and the hot tub and games facilities gave a little something for everyone to enjoy! Not to mention the position of the house itself is spectacular for views as well as park directly across from it. Theresa and Andy were great hosts, very responsive, friendly and the check in details were simple. Will definitely enjoy staying here again!

Fabulous weekend away, great location and amenities! Host was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble! Would definitely recommended and got to feed Arnold the pig too ❤️

Hazels place was right in the centre of town yet we found it to be quiet and private. Hazel and her partner were very respectful of our privacy as the yard is a common area. We felt very safe and secure and thouroughly enjoyed 2 day stay. The Stables were spotless, fresh and spacious providing everything we required. We highly recommend this accomodation.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Riverside Cottage. Each room is beautifully decorated and comfortable. It was immaculately clean and the setting is peaceful with the sound of the river running by. Alan was a perfect host. The communication was excellent and he provided lots of helpful information. He was so accommodating making sure the hot tub, which was a real bonus, was ready each day while also leaving us to our privacy. Our dog was welcome to stay and she loved the bowl of treats left for her!

We loved our stay! The cottage was so comfortable and cosy with a great wood burning stove. It was so well stocked with everything you need - tea, coffee, salt, pepper etc which makes all the difference. There was a lovely wee garden for us to sit in and look out onto the beautiful sea and the Paps of Jura in the distance. Karen and Colin were so welcoming and were great at getting in touch before our stay. Would highly recommend this cottage and we’ll definitely be back.

We had an excellent stay in Sue's well-appointed, comfortable and cosy accommodation. We loved the view from the dining table! Nothing is very far from anywhere on Arran and Pirnhill proved to be a good base. Sue was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended.

The cottage at Kildrochet House is a magical place to stay , this being our third visit is the last two years. The house and grounds are amazing and the owners Have put a lot of effort into the decor and comfort . Would certainly recommend as a great base to explore the lovely Galloway coastline and its many villages. Thanks again Philip.

We had a fantastic stay in the cottage, it was a lovely cosy space, with everything we could need. Particularly appreciated the cot and highchair, and the washing/drying facilities for soggy walking clothes! Lorna was super friendly and helpful and we look forward to staying again on Arran!

I book for members of staff: guest who stayed reported it was clean, in a lovely setting, and he'd be very happy if he'd to return to the area to stay there again.

Amazing place with fantastic hosts nothing too much trouble. Beautiful surroundings, very peaceful. David you and your wife are amazing people, thank you for everything you did to make our stay perfect. We will be back.

Stunning location opposite distillery, 2 mins walk from beach and town centre. The burn running through the back runs under the road to the distillery. Former cooperman's house, still in same family. Very comfortable & peaceful. Loved it.

We have had the most amazing time at The Beach Shack after spending 4 nights there. We are a family of 7…2 adults and 5 children ranging from 5 to 15 years old. When we arrived, check in was simple, the cottage was clean, decorated beautifully and had the most gorgeous tray bakes waiting with instructions/guidance on everything we needed to know about the cottage and surrounding area. The views were stunning with the beach right on the door step and P&O ferries passing by regularly. Apart from spending a lot of time on the beach, we walked the path to Blackhead Lighthouse (in Whitehead), visited Portmuck and on the rainy day we went for lunch at Josh Mac’s in Carrickfergus and then to the cinema. The local Rinkha’s ice cream was also good to try! Natasha was always available when I needed questions answered and always responded promptly. We had a very enjoyable trip and hope to be back again soon. We really have had a super time! Thank you 🤩

A beautiful little cottage with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Made for a perfect weekend stay for our group of 3 friends and we loved sitting out the front with views to the sea, Gigha and Jura. Friendly and kind hosts. Highly recommend and would love to stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage at Dunmore. The house was beautifully clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. There was a huge garden for the kids to play in, and the location is perfect for exploring Kintyre. Philippa was very kind and attentive, and thanks to Amanda too for her friendly, local advice.

Nan’s place was like something out of a movie. The views were incredible and it was so peaceful. I loved that there was a place for getting ready with plugs and a dresser. It may sound silly but so many places don’t have that.

Caoimhe's cottage was amazing, right on the ocean and close to all the hiking. The cottage had all the amenities needed for several days of exploring. Bed and linens were super comfortable and host and family made sure I had everything I needed for a 5 day stay. I would absolutely return to this lovely hideaway on the beach and would highly recommend to other travelers.

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.

What an amazing stay at maggies cottage! Sean was fab and so friendly. The place was absolutely spotless, and beds were very comfortable. The surroundings were beautiful, was so lovely to watch the lambs running around from the kitchen window in the mornings. The hottub was the cherry on top especially at night looking out at the mountains. Would love to come back, thank you for our stay! X

Exceeded our expectations for sure. Enjoyed every minute. Host went out of her way to meet with us. Cottage did not lack anything. Area was quite and in the middle of nature.

Flora's beautiful home lived up to and exceeded our expectations! It was cosy, colourful and we felt very at home from the moment we arrived. The welcome basket and clear, helpful instructions in and around the house were much appreciated. We loved the location and would have loved to explore the area more however the weather wasn't always on our side! It was the perfect base for us to visit family while also having some relaxing time to ourselves which we mainly spent playing games and reading by the wood burner. It is a lovely home and a beautiful part of Northern Ireland - we would love to stay again.
