Chalet vacation rentals in Allerdale District

The property is a hexagonal wooden cabin, tucked away in a secluded spot convenient for birdwatchers (RSPB reserves and WWT Caerlaverock are nearby), dog-walking at the fantastic Sandy Hills beach and hiking along the coast. Nonetheless it is only half an hour's drive from Dumfries and/or Castle Douglas. The lodge has lovely views down to the Solway Firth across to the Cumbrian Hills and beautiful night skies. We stayed between Christmas and New Year, when we experienced wild and wet weather as well as deep frosts, but the cabin was always warm and cosy. The open plan kitchen/living area was greatly appreciated, as were the two bathrooms. This was a lived-in but very comfortable space. We all felt at home here, including the dog.

Really bright airy chalet, but surprisingly warm and cozy. Fab views over the fields to Criffel and just a stones throw from the shore. Nights filled with the call of Curlews and a sky full of stars. Well placed for walks along the beautiful Solway firth, over hills and through woodland.

Hi we had a fantastic stay here. Lots of room for us all and very comfortable. The pictures really didn't do it justice it's so much better in person. The only little issue we had is the rug in the living space was very slippy on the wood floor, and resulted in a few falls and trips. Other than that it was a beautiful stay we really enjoyed it.

We had a lovely couple of nights in this very spacious but cosy lodge. It is very close to the beach which is perfect for walking the dogs and 5 minute walk to the pub - perfect!

May was such a lovely host from start to finish. Her home was beautiful and we will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for a lovely stay!

One of the best Airbnb accommodations we've stayed in. The lodge was exactly as described (the third bedroom was smaller than we'd expected but I think that's more because we hadn't paid much attention to it), if not better than described (the shower was spacious). Everything was there as we needed it, we appreciated having working utensils in the kitchen (not always the case). The view from upstairs was amazing, much enjoyed from the sitting area upstairs. Julian was a responsive, kind host, as were Ainsley and Steve, our local point of contact (next door). We even had a delicious welcome pack. We had an amazing week exploring the area. Julian's idea of asking people to write down recommendations of places to visit in the visitor's book is an excellent one. Thank you for opening your home to us.

Lovely location, kind and friendly host, spacious yet cosy and pleasant cabin. Really enjoyed my stay - beautiful view, right on the beach, lovely long walks. Cabin was clean, warm, and comfortable, utilities worked well, great shower. Birds and bunnies to watch in the morning, a very peaceful space.

Amazing lodge in a perfect location. Had the best stay for my friends 30th birthday celebrations. Close to Ambleside and Windermere so great for day trips/lake cruises/etc. Would recommend.

Really nice cabin, great location, had a blast.

We had a great time here. Everything was as described, clean and in working order. The hot tub was great as was the location of the cabin right next to the small beach, swimming pool and bar. Place was very clean and had everything we needed. We were a family of 6 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of space for everyone.

Beautiful place to stay with family, amazing view. The house was spacious and clean. Very close to everything. Would 100% recommend
