Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Southerness

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).

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.

This was a lovely wee house and we enjoyed our 2 nights there. We had a wonderful evening at the Farmers Arms, which I highly recommend. It is a 2 mile walk but completely worth it. The local Chinese was top notch as well.

Very good stay. Nice surroundings. Great area to go for walks.

We loved spending Easter weekend in this lovely home. It was well equipped with everything we needed, and we enjoyed both the wood burning stove and the nice sunny terrace after exploring Cockermouth and the Lake District.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming farmhouse in the Lake District. The place was immaculately tidy, with a very well-catered kitchen that had everything we needed—perfect for cooking up a proper Easter Sunday roast, which we were lucky enough to enjoy outside in the garden thanks to some glorious spring sunshine. The wood burner made the evenings extra cosy, and the peaceful, beautiful surroundings made for a truly relaxing break. Diana was excellent—friendly, helpful, and very responsive. highly recommended!

My family and I stayed in Haylie’s property for a nearby wedding. The property was exactly as described, with plenty of character, comfortable bedrooms and clean bathrooms. Haylie provided everything guests could need and want for a stay, including toiletries and a well stocked kitchen. There are plenty of mirrors too for those groups needing to get ready for a special occasion. The area is very peaceful, with the nearest beach a short distance away. A lovely spot to have a cup of tea in the morning and listen to the birds! The nearest large supermarket is about 10 minutes away. I would recommend for couples and large parties looking to stay in the area. Thanks Haylie!

Wonderful place in a perfect location of Keswick. A short walking distance to the shops and the lake. Certainly enjoyed taking the dog out for his walk with all the parks near by and a stroll to see beautiful views of Derwent water. The beds were comfy and the place was nice and cosy. A good variety of entertainment in games and books for the kids as well as ourselves. Having our own parking space was very convenient. We saw a lot of cars taking forever looking for one. I will definitely look at staying again when we next visit 😀

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 🙂

Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

We spent 5 nights here at the end of March and start of April 2025. We were really fortunate with the weather and took full advantage of the wonderful location: scaling Slight Side and Scafell on one day, riding to Coniston via the bridleway on another and 'bagging' most of the Coniston fells on another day via Wrynose Pass. We ate in on a couple of nights and also went to the Wainwright's for some pub grub, as well as Stoves for their evening menu. Simon and Belinda's place is very well situated in Great Langdale for all kinds of walks and rides, food and decent pints. The house itself is a lovely place to return to in the evening with easy parking outside for our van and once inside, everything is spotless, well equipped and cosy. We really appreciated all the helpful information on bike routes and walking routes and spent the late evenings by the fire pouring over the Wainwright books planning the next day's adventures. 100% recommended.

Great lodge situated right at the top of the site, within 2 minutes of a small walk with panoramic views of the valleys. Bedding was super soft & so were the towels, comfy bed, great sleep. Beautiful surroundings to wake up to and sit outdoors with a coffee listening to the birds. Dog friendly! Comfortable sofa! Lots of utensils and plates.

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.

A really lovely cabin with everything you need for enjoying a few days in the Lakes. We loved the location, very close to Ambleside and not far from Grasmere and Windermere for shops. Loads of nice trails available as soon as you leave the estate. We stayed with two kids and it was perfect, would love to visit again!

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful cottage in Elterwater — the perfect base for exploring the Lake District. Four of us (two couples) and our dog had plenty of space to relax. The cottage was spotless, with comfortable beds, high-quality linen and towels, and excellent appliances throughout. The location is unbeatable, nestled right in the heart of the valley with stunning 360-degree views and direct access to countless walking routes into the surrounding mountains. There’s a great local pub just a short stroll away and an outstanding nearby restaurant focusing on small plates and local produce — a real highlight. Although the cottage has one designated parking spot, there’s plenty of additional parking within two minutes’ walk, which made things very easy. Alun is a fantastic host — warm, reliable, and always helpful. We’ve stayed in a few of his properties now, and they never disappoint. We’d definitely seek out one of his places again next time we’re in the Lakes.

We had such a lovely stay! It was well located for getting out for local walks and was wonderful to come back to at the end of the day (the hot tub and sauna were wonderful after a day hiking!). The place had everything we needed and Jane and Steve were really helpful - thank you!

My husband, our two dogs and I had a wonderful stay at the Den, Littlemere Lodges. This lodge surpassed our expectations! We had a beautiful lakeside view which provided such a calming ambiance as we watched the ducks and the sheep beyond on the hill. Despite its boutique size, the lodge was fully equipped with so many amenities such as a washing machine, dishwasher and lots of cutlery. Our poochons were certainly welcomed guests, considering the dog bowl, towel and poo bags that were set aside for them. We would definitely recommend! One possible con (though for us it just came as part of the change of scene from suburban to rural life) were the winding single-carriage roads leading to the property which sometimes required reversing to a widening in the road to allow passage of oncoming vehicles. However even this, felt like a small inconvenience compared to the overall lovely retreat we had at the Den.

Great place, clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. A few seconds walk to the heart of Ambleside but quiet despite the proximity of bars and restaurants. We only stayed a night but being able to park close by and walk out for dinner/ breakfast pastries was a lovely bonus when we usually stay in more remote locations. Thanks for a great stay, we’ll be back!

I think Rose's place was exactly what we needed on the last night of our roadtrip to the Highlands from London. Perfect place to take off on a detour through the Lake District on our way home. Very quirky, but fun decor inside.

The cottage was exactly as advertised, clean and beautifully decorated. The views to the sea and over the golf course made for a peaceful break.

This is the 4 time I’ve stayed at Cargen cottages…obviously I love it there otherwise I wouldn’t return so many times! Beautiful setting, clean, cosy, lovely cottage. Dog friendly and lovely surroundings. Anna is a fab host

Really enjoyed our stay here with the dogs. Lovely views from the windows and great communication with hosts. Had one problem with the fire alarm beeping and was fixed within the hour after messaging them. Would definitely stay here again

Christopher’s house was very welcoming and dog friendly. His dog had even left a couple of balls for my dogs to play with. Although close to a busy road, the garden was well fenced in and safe. The house is beautifully decorated. And the location is very close to some great trails. Thanks Christopher
