Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Dumfries and Galloway

Rose was excellent. I made a mistake with the numbers of people staying and sorted it out promptly. House was soo lovely and it was a great stay.

House was great very spacious for our group and provided everything we needed. Margaret even welcomed us to bring our dogs 😊

Thank you to Richard for allowing my family and I to stay. We had a lovely weekend at the house which was as described and represented good value for money. Richard was very helpful in responding prior to the stay. Both he and his brother were very accommodating. Thank you.

we stayed here for my partners birthday. i’ve stayed in a lot of different Airbnb’s but Julie was by far the loveliest host i’ve had so far; flexible check in/out, loads of local recommendations, always responsive on messages. her home is on a peaceful main street and still feels rustic whilst still having all the modern amenities which is something i love. the house is filled with great books, comfy beds, games, cookware etc. a perfect stay, we cannot recommend enough. a perfect base if you want to explore Wigtown / Port William / Isle of Whithorn.

What a lovely little gem this house is highly recommended. Good location, house beautifully done very clean

We had a great time staying. Carolines house is lovely and had everything we needed for a long weekend. Throughout our stay there was a problem with hot tub which was out of Caroline's hands but she made sure to compensate with a meal on her which was very much appreciated. Lots of lovely little touches and gifts around the house. Would definitely come back and see this place in the warmer weather thanks for having us.

Amazing home 🌸 we had a 1 night stop over while travelling to Scotland for our daughter’s wedding. Everything was as described and more…the only thing I would say is the house is much bigger than it looks in photos, it’s fabulous 🌸

Spent a very relaxing 4 day weekend here. The house was gorgeous, big and roomy, and if you like historical houses interest you, it had an abundance of original features which were fantastic to see. Despite how big the house and rooms are, it was very warm and cosy. the master bedroom had a sneaky view of the sea and Ailsa Craig, with bed being very warm & comfortable. the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need, with a very large back garden if you wanted to spend time outdoors. Hilda was very quick to respond to messages and Alastair had a lot of information about the history of the house and the boat yard, which I found very interesting. They were both very accommodating when traffic meant I didn't get there til almost 10pm on the guest night. This was a really great place to stay and I would love to go back and stay again. Thank you Alistair & Hilda.

Very spacious. The host was really helpful on arrival. Everything we needed was there. As we were working in The Studio Moffat (we're part of a young theatre company) we really appreciated how warm and comfortable this place is, helped us work hard over 4 days.

Such a stunning place, an absolute gem! The apartment was very spacious and beautifully decorated. Everything was really clean and and we all the amenities ine could think of. Never had so many alternatives for making coffee in one place 😄 Piers left a host of recommendations on what to do and where to eat for us as well. If you ever are in the area, this is the place to stay.

I had a lovely time staying in Sarah's flat. The place is very comfortable and just as described. Clean, cosy and well situated. Would highly recommend!

We had the most amazing time. The apartment was fantastic, well equipped. The pool was lovely and a massive hit with my 8 year old. We had lovely meals at the on site restaurant and the staff were lovely. The grounds of whitbarrow are honestly lovely. It definitely exceeded our expectations. Great location for activities, we visited Rookin Activity Centre and did horse riding and quad biking, which was great. We will be back

Charming garden flat with gym, sauna and steam room. Nice furnishings and artwork. Lovely warm kitchen with aga cooker. Thoughtful touches, milk bread butter, etc. Towels beautifully folded and positioned where required. Luke and Anna- Marie were perfect hosts.

Stayed at Luke’s place for 3 nights. Apartment was clean, well equipped and in a quiet neighbourhood. Good communication from the host throughout the stay.

Despite a hiccup with the electricity one evening, Tom's place was spotless. A little cold when we first arrived, but after a few hours of having the heating on, it soon warmed up. Tom was very helpful and generally quick to respond. Hats off to Tom, the apartment was well presented, squeaky clean and instructions very clear. Thank you

We had a very enjoyable short-term stay. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was extremely small with very limited surface area but had sufficient for snacks and light meals. Anetta was an excellent host and the town of Dumfries had a lot to offer. A very easy walk into town although the way back was uphill.

lovely, clean flat with everything you need. host had great communication, very helpful. the hot tub is huge! brilliant for the price. the only thing I would say is that you are very aware of the level of noise you make when in hot tub considering how residential the surroundings are, but it wasn't a negative in any way for us. it is a four in a block flat, and we heard nothing at all from neighbours. it's very handy for local shops, can easily get food deliveries. all round a great weekend.

Talk about going an extra mile, Alison does that and many more. It is a real ‘Home from Home’ experience- Alison puts so much effort into making your stay stress free. I stayed there 28th February 2025 for three nights. Myself, my daughter and her two very young boys. Alison provided everything we needed to keep them happy, toys, games etc. The apartment is spotless, we had a little issue with the internet connection, texted Alison and she got back to us straight away with the solution. Only a five minute walk to a lovely play park right by the beach, Pirate Pete which has lots for young ones next to the park too. Town Centre with lots of shops, restaurants etc. within walking distance. Alison puts a lot of effort into making your stay perfect, on arrival there was Tea, coffee, bread, butter and much more, so no need to have to pop to the shop straight away. Alison was the perfect host going above and beyond what you’d normally expect. Would definitely stay there again.

Great spot, perfect location

great place to go especially if your visiting the uni like I was, a quick walk to the centre. lots of specifics instructions and guides that were helpful.

Our two-night stay at Whitbarrow Village was absolutely fantastic! The apartment was spotless, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything we needed. Plus, the lovely view across the fields made it even more special. The location is stunning, with some of the most beautiful lakes just a 15-minute drive away. The complex itself is also excellent, featuring a great bar and restaurant, a swimming pool, a cinema, a kids' play area, a well-maintained garden, and an EV charging point. The apartment's amenities were perfect for a self-catering stay, and the balcony offered a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the view when the weather allowed. We visited with our two-year-old, who absolutely loved it too! I highly recommend this place for couples or young families, and Raluca was a fantastic host. We can’t wait to return!

really well located property right in the middle of the town. easy to access outside of different shops and places to eat and drink.

We had a great time in Carlisle and Les was a great host. The flat was lovely and comfortable for our family and Les was very quick to respond to any questiond we had - he even brought new batteries for the TV remote within about 15 minutes of us letting him know there was a warning message on the TV. The flat is walking distance from the castle/cathedral/town centre and right by a supermarket so is really convenient. We would definitely recommend it!

Lovely clean, spacious flat; great location and helpful host. Parking space is small and slightly awkward- we drive a large car and choose to park elsewhere.
