Vacation rentals with lake access in Dumfries and Galloway

Wow what a fantastic holiday we had. The location is breathtaking and the house is comfortable and cosy with a fabulous fully enclosed garden which our dog enjoyed . If you are looking for somewhere off the beaten track but with home comforts this is the place for you . If you have an electric car there is a 7v charger about 1 min walk away behind the « Old Smidy » great for an overnight charge and very reasonably priced (free to use with a suggested donation) we also find lots of Fast Chargers out and about on days out - the area is really well served . Highlights for us were the Deer Safari, the boat trip at the Loch Ken visitors centre , the red kite feeding centre and the horse riding lessons - of course there was also in lots of picnics by the rivers and locks a night at the theatre in the Catstrand centre plenty of meals out .

Fantastic house in amazing surroundings. Very well equipped and extremely clean. Estate was beautiful to walk around. Perfect if you want to self cater. Comfortable beds. Fantastic to have wood burning stove. Car charger was such a bonus. Games room was well used and lots of fun. Courtyard is lovely. Our daughter used her tent box outside which was excellent. The whole experience in the house was fantastic. Lovely welcome gifts. Melinda was very helpful with recommendations. We would absolutely recommend this property 😍

Amazing stay exactly like the pictures had a great time

Lovely stay Cheryl was very responsive had a great weekend stay lovely private small area in the back to sit outside and to top it off we had lovely weather while staying so the sun was out very nice, and lovely at night looking at the stars can’t fault Cheryl’s place definitely be back one day 😊

Annabel is a great person and very helpful. She suggested few places to visit, which comes out worthy to visit. She is very responsive with all of our questions. I definitely want to visit this place again soon. It’s a perfect getaway from crowds and spend some time with nature without any disturbances.

Perfectly positioned for walking to Gretna town, local pub, shopping centre and the scenic solent, this is a very warm and welcoming home with excellent facilities, beautifully decorated and a lovely, large garden. Only a 3 minute drive to Gretna Green and lots of other local attractions. Host went above and beyond to ensure our stay was satisfactory. Would definitely recommend this property and would love to stay here again if we're in the area.

I booked Coylebrae for a weekend away with my family and this beautiful house did not disappoint. The house was clean and spacious there was so much room for 11 of us, we had plenty of room for everyone to relax and my nephew even had a room to himself to watch cartoons. The games room was a hit, we had hours of playing pool and ping pong and also loved the hot tub, which the host left instructions on how to use. The bedrooms are so stylish and the beds especially were so comfortable. We enjoyed the massive kitchen, plenty of space to cook and lounge about. Luqi was very helpful with clear check in instructions, brilliant host! I would highly recommend this house for a getaway with friends or family!

We have been coming to this site for many years and seen many changes, some good, some not so. As regular visitors we have stayed in other caravans on the site but this one was much better than others. The quality of the sofa bed in the lounge is amazing, so comfortable and perfect for the space, also incredibly easy to convert from sofa to bed. The mattresses on the beds in the rooms were of a higher quality and much thicker than others we have experienced in caravans here. Having Wifi was great as we were visiting during colder months so lovely to cosy up to watch movies. Even though it was -3 at one point during our stay we were always lovely and warm. I will look to book this caravan again, it really does have that little bit extra to make your stay more comfortable and enjoyable. The view over the lake is also an added bonus. Watching the sun rise through the trees was magical, especially after being so lucky seeing the northern lights too! Thank you for having us xx

Delightful cottage - very comfortable and cosy with everything we could need provided. Kate and Angus were very welcoming and friendly. We particularly appreciated the invitation to roam anywhere on the estate and the welcome extended to our little dog. The snowdrops were especially beautiful at this time of the year. Lady Bay on the estate was a great place to walk the dog at low tide. The welcome pack provided by Kate was also well received and there were plenty of basic supplies provided - tea, coffee, milk, bread, butter, brownies and shortbread! Thanks for a great vacation.

A bit tough to find, but great place in peaceful location. Responsive, helpful, and friendly hist.

The cottage is a wonderful place to stay when exploring the Western Lake District and coastline. It’s tucked away in a quiet corner and has a lovely enclosed garden perfect for your furry companion . The cottage itself is surprisingly spacious, comfortable and decorated cosily. Sue was the perfect host and checked in to make sure our elderly parents had the best stay. We shall return again soon !!

Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful, peaceful part of Scotland with sheep and lambs in the surrounding fields (we visited mid April). The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything we needed. The guide to the apartment was very helpful. Wished we could have stayed longer!

A great place to stay at a reasonable price just outside of the main tourist area of the Lake District but close enough to drive to walks and lakes. House very nice and comfortable situated in a small village with the nice town of Cockermouth a few miles away for restaurants, supermarket etc. Would happily return.

What a beautiful home from a home. it was incredibly peaceful with lovely gardens looking out across fields. The home was so well equipped and, for our three generations of keen cooks staying there, it was perfect. Adam was incredibly helpful. responsive and proactive doing all he could to make our stay a good one. Meanwhile, Paula gave us great support on the ground with help and advice over linen, heating and all the other creature comforts. A wonderful home in a beautiful location: we hope to return.

A wonderful, relaxing, peacful stay at Knowehead cottage with the kids and a dog. Stunning local scenery - the Clachan Inn is well worth a visit in nearby Dalry - lovely ales and food. Cream cakes at the Post Office on a Saturday morning as well as fresh meat deliveries. An enjoyable Easter stay.

Came here with a small group to do some mountain biking in the area, was brilliant to be in the middle of the forest so we could ride (or walk) from the door. The large log burner and provided wood was invaluable to dry all of our kit each day, and kept us very toasty. Friendly hosts, was great to chat :) Hope to stay again sometime!
