Barn vacation rentals in Dumfries and Galloway

We’ve all returned from a lovely week at the cottage - it was very clean and had everything that we needed; a real home from home. The beds a really comfortable and the bathrooms are amazing! The views are beautiful, great private garden and plenty of parking. The WIFI isn’t great but it’s probably to be expected as it’s a wee bit remote. On the positive, it was nice to have the children off their phones a bit more!

Delightful place to stay. Comfortable, warm and well-equipped. Good parking. Friendly and helpful hosts. Perfect for exploring the Lake District.

We had a lovely stay at Sophie’s Cottage Barn. We used it as a base to hike in the Lake District as well as go up to Hadrian’s Wall. The place was lovely and it was great to have our own private house. Sophie was great and gave good recommendations about the local area. Would highly recommend

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.

Small but lovely cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. They even leave a crate and blanket for your dog in case you have forgotten anything. Well -equipped kitchen including washing machine, dishwasher and microwave. Iron and ironing board. Dining table. The bedrooms are nice and cosy. The shower is great. Good parking. All in all a good place to stay. Thank you

Raphaela and Steve were very helpful and pleasant. They encouraged us to let them know when we needed something. The cottage has a great bathroom and well-appointed kitchen and is very comfortable. We enjoyed the farm-like atmosphere—it’s so peaceful yet so close to amenities. And the grazing cows standing in the road to town were easily nudged with minimal mooing. We loved it!

We have stayed many times at the cottage with our dog, and plan to rebook again.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. The Mill is absolutely stunning - the photos don’t do it justice at all. It is beautifully put together with a well equipped kitchen, smart decor and so many interesting bits and pieces to give interest. There was such care and consideration given to making sure all needs were catered for from the toys and books to the extensive CD and DVD collection. The grounds are breathtaking and it would be easy to go nowhere else. We were very well looked after and enjoyed the sauna, hot tub and a campfire. This is the perfect place for a family to find peace and reset. Walking up to the birds and the sounds of the waterfall was like a detox. We petted donkeys, saw bee hives, looked for fish and paddled in the water. Our children are already planning a further stay. Exceptional value for money and just beautiful. Thank you Lorraine and the wonderful Arjun for looking after us so well.

Jade was really helpful and responsive both before and during our stay. We stayed in the barn at Dalston and it was huge and really nicely decorated with all the amenities you could need. Really comfortable beds and pillows with plenty of towels. The hot tub was great and a nice big enclosed garden with hot tub which was clean and worked well. We’d definitely stay again. Heating was also easy to use when needed. Bit of a drive to places of interest like Penrith, Carlisle and ullswater but close to Dalston. Highly recommend the bridge end inn for a roast. Would definitely stay again, thanks for having us.

The accommodation was beautiful and quiet, exactly as described and well equipped. Jo who helped us with our stay was so incredibly friendly and kind, and the hot tub booking was straightforward and so relaxing. My partner and I loved the place and would love to return in the future. The directions to get to the accommodation were perfect, and despite the rural location we arrived there with no hassle at all. Cannot recommend enough!!

This Cumbrian Farmhouse is fantastic! Connie has obviously spent a lot of time renovating the property and she has done a wonderful job. Wandering around the warm and exquisitely decorated rooms feels like gliding through the pages of an interior design magazine’s ‘Countryside-chic Edition’. Everywhere you look there are tasteful design flourishes that nod to the property’s agricultural heritage, such as cosy (thankfully faux) fur throws and portraits of floppy-fringed cows. The master bathroom, with its luxurious freestanding bath feels like it has been lifted straight out of Soho House! Everything we could possibly need during out stay was on hand – and Connie had gone the extra-mile to make our family stay feel special – There was a bottle of Prosecco chilling in the fridge, A fire was set in the beautiful wood burner, and a fire guard in place to stop little fingers getting burned, there was also special child-friendly shower gel in the bathroom. We’d definitely stay again.

Honestly had the best Christmas at Melanie’s place. The barn was spotless and spacious (big enough for 2 dogs and 8 people!). The photos really do not do this place justice. I would recommend this place to anybody! Thanks again Melanie ☺️💕

Lovely cosy barn in a beautiful village. The place was beautiful and comfortable. Only downside was no garden space to bask in the sunshine but there was a quiet track to walk the dogs in just past the house

Eve communicated really well. The Airbnb was immaculate, warm, spotlessly clean, and nicely decorated for Christmas. Also just a short walk from Cockermouth town centre which was perfect for us. Overall was amazing and we’d definitely stay again.

As I work in luxury 5* hotels, I can say that Lynn’s properties, specifically Tom Croft, as we stayed in it, can definitely be classed as 5*. There is honestly nothing negative to say about the property and I’m one to point out something (my hospitality eye doesn’t take a break😂). Truly everything was beyond standard, gorgeous space, felt 100% like home. This made the long journey worth it!! Location is perfect and super easy to get to, the satnav takes you straight there!!! Definitely we will be back🤗🤗 PS: Lynn’s cookies as an arrival amenities are to die for😍🤗 and if we could give 10 stars on the app, we would!!

Beautiful place. Great scenery and animals all around as it’s on a working farm so that was lovely. Marj was lovely and very helpful and friendly as were everyone else we met there. I took my kids with me and they loved every minute. Plenty for them to do if they weren’t in the hot tub. When it’s clear on an evening the star gazing is amazing. The views in general are beautiful from the property. Would definitely stay again.

What a great place to stay! a lot bigger than we thought which was welcomed with great views out of all the windows. Everything was spotless and the large dining table was great for meals. Easy drive to any of the towns with loads to do all around. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful accommodation

Absolutely lovely stay with India & David. I'd highly recommend. During the whole stay they made me feel at home. I couldn't recommend better hosts. Great location for getting into the lake district for some scenic walks and outdoor activities! Efe & Mitzi the cats are wonderful. All round a fantastic stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again! Thanks India and David! 😎

Everything about the ‘Old Bothy’ was great. The location and atmosphere on the farm was lovely. We were made to feel really welcome and at home right from the start. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, with great facilities. Joanne made an excellent host. We had a great few days away. I would highly recommend.

Great clean place in picturesque area. Host responsive. Parking could be tricky but we manage to find good spot. Highly recommended

This was a great place to stay in the Lake District. It was perfect for a family of 4 and the teenagers enjoyed playing pool and ping pong in the games room. Brilliant place - we would stay again.

Even though it’s a working farm it felt very secluded. Really peaceful and you can really recharge your batteries before another adventure. It’s close to Keswick and if weather is bad SW Scotland is only an hour drive. Our boys loved football pitch and trampoline but jacuzzi style bath felt like little cherry on the top of the cake. Natalie is an amazing host and I’d recommend staying here to everyone.
