Family-friendly vacation rentals in Kirkcudbright

We had a lovely stay with our 3 dogs at heron view, we enjoyed the spacious living area and comfortable beds. The utility space was a great nook for the dogs if they were wet from walking. Lovely local pub (the Masonic) with friendly people and bar staff. The hot tub was a massive bonus! Thanks Donald We will be back!

Lizzie was a fantastic host, she responded to messages and even allowed us to extend our stay into the afternoon. The house was lovely we will definitely look at booking again in the new year. Thank you

Thank you, Elizabeth, for a great weekend! The Old School House was fantastic. The house was impeccably clean and well-stocked with everything we could possibly need, and we felt right at home. Elizabeth provided great local tips although the unkind weather limited what we could do. But this meant more time for the fabulous hot-tub. The comfortable lounge was a great place for the family to chill and chat in the evenings - I don't think the TV was turned on at all. Just a great place to stay. Can't recommend highly enough.

Just had a wonderful weekend at Appletree cottage. The cottage was extremely clean easy to find and in a great location, easily walkable into Keswick town centre. The cottage had everything needed to have an easy and enjoyable stay. Would definitely stay again and hoping to do so again next year.

What a wonderful stay - Diane was so helpful with her information Nothing was too much trouble Eggs delivered ready for breakfast Views stunning from Garden and hot tub All round just great

Very pleasant stay! Diana was a fantastic host who works hard to ensure her guests have a brilliant time when staying as her guests! We would definitely stay again!

What an amazing place! Susan’s home was lovely and located on a beautiful dairy farm. We were immediately welcome by her cats Lucky and Clover (who we adopted for our stay). Susan was always available to answer our questions and took us on a tour of the farm to meet the cows. The house was about 7 minutes from a great village called cockermouth which had pubs, restaurants and many bakeries. A little further and you are in keswick which is one of the bigger towns. We took a boat from there across derwentwater to the famous Catbells and also took a rowboat out on the lake. We also went for a beautiful walk around buttermere lake and a hike into the borrowdale valley. And we even popped over the border into Scotland. It was an amazing trip and a wonderful place to stay. Thank you Susan!!

The Stables was perfect for our stay, it was so peaceful, impeccably clean and super comfy. We were welcomed by Margaret who had been so attentive and responsive to our messages leading up to our stay. 10/10 would recommend to anyone to stay here - the Distillery tour and cafe next door are also a fabulous addition to an already wonderful holiday cottage.

Such a beautiful home and perfect for our family’s stay for our daughter’s wedding at a farm nearby. Such a unique property and we were grateful for the gorgeous back garden since we had such great weather. Kitchen was well-equipped and we enjoyed the setup of the house overall.

Loved my stay at this beautiful cottage. Such a spacious, homely cottage with an amazing big enclosed garden for the dog. I’ll definitely be back!

Loved our stay, beautiful grounds and gardens. The house was perfect for our family getaway and very comfortable all round.

Very enjoyable stay in this cottage, hidden away in the centre of Keswick. The accommodation has everything you need and was very clean. All the windows opened (always a plus). The location couldn't be more convenient for Keswick... literally 2 minutes walk to restaurants and shops. Onsite parking is a bonus in Keswick although I did find it a bit tight to manage the turn under the arch with my Audi Q5. Smaller cars should find it easier. Make sure you follow Sandra's (very clear) directions to the letter. Not only does she ensure you navigate the one-way system correctly, she will also direct away from the crowded side streets which can be a nightmare with cars parked continuously on both sides of the road. If you want to stay in town this place is ideal for you. Sandra answered all my questions promptly and seemed genuinely concerned to ensure we had a good time.

we found the place very easily with his instructions. the house is beautifully decorated. only recommendation I have is the stair gate as there is open stairs and the bedroom for our 3 year old was the stairs side of the gate. during our stay we had a problem with the heating keep coming on and Stephen dealt with it straight away. we had an amazing stay there and would highly recommend this stay to anyone

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.

John was a great host with constant communication throughout the stay. The check in was very easy with no issues at all. The location is amazing with great hikes around the lake district and a good choice of local places for food and coffee. The accommodation was well decorated and great sleeping arrangements. I would recommend John as a host to anyone.

We were four separate, senior girlfriends and had enough room and enjoyed the location and easy communication with Elisabeth. We had an issue that Elizabeth helped us to resolve. The location is wonderful for enjoying the town or walking straight from the house to and around the lake, driving or walking to Castlerigg stone circle or heading out on an adventure which we did when we drove to Buttermere and then onto St. Bee’s through the windy country roads! The home had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. We would have enjoyed a higher quality set of linens in the bedrooms and bath towels as well but for a four night stay everything was fine. I recommend staying at Elisabeth’s home in Keswick.

This is a gorgeous site, lodges are a decent distance apart so feels very private. The Lodge itself has everything you need, it's cosy but spacious... 7 of us stayed and we felt there was ample space. There's a cute pub on site and short walk to beautiful beach. Pool is a bonus, kids loved it, will definitely visit again!

Thanks for a great stay. The pool and the pub were lovely additions. We really enjoyed our holiday.

What a lovely, lovely place to stay. The lodge manages to be both cosy and spacious at the same time. There are three really nice bedrooms plus three bathrooms and the main living space is big, with plenty of space for lounging, reading, playing games or watching the tv after a day at the beach. The thing I always love when I go to stay anywhere is great bedding and the lodge was not a disappointment! The downstairs double bed had the most incredible duvet, huge and fluffy and warm - lovely for lying in bed in the morning looking at the great view from the french doors with a cup of tea. We used the swimming pool, using the booking system, which was nice. You book a session in the pool, which you have for your own use during your session. Having the pool to ourselves was a bit of a treat! There is a lovely pub on site too, although we sat outside due to the current situation, we went in to order drinks and it was really nice inside. Though no local beer, which would have been nice. The lodge is within walking distance of a really amazing, amazing beach - just beautiful. You can do lots of really great walks from the lodge, along the beach or the coastal walk, as well as through the many lovely forests in the area. We were lucky enough to see red squirrels! Despite some slight issues with communication (down to a problem with technology and not on their part) we had a wonderful time and are very much looking forward to returning. We would really recommend Barend as a wonderful place to visit, the lodge was absolutely gorgeous (did I mention the amazing duvet?!) and just a few minutes walk from the most incredible beach. A perfect trip away. We will absolutely be making a return trip

Peaceful, private, spacious. Walking distance to beach, shop, restaurant. Kitchen is well equipped. We loved our stay here. Fits 8 comfortably.

We had an absolutely superb stay at this cabin! The hosts have thought of everything—every household utensil, cleaning product, and appliance we needed was readily available. It truly felt like a home away from home. We also appreciated the thoughtful extras, like the collection of games, DVDs, and books, which made for cozy evenings indoors. The stuffed toy dogs were a lovely touch for the children, and they adored them! The cabin was spotless, and we were impressed with how well-organized everything was, including the garbage disposal system. The private pool was a fantastic addition, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Overall, this was one of the best stays we’ve had, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommend!

Great cabin, very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The sofa was so comfortable we all fell asleep several times! It’s very quiet on the site which is nice and the views of the loch are lovely. The site is in a great location with the loch just a short walk away where you can enjoy a short walk round & you can also fish. The beach is a short drive away with lovely soft sand and there’s a few shops & restaurants nearby. The on site pool is available for private hire which was fantastic, we loved it. We also ate at the beagle pub which was really nice, plenty to choose from and there was colouring stuff, books & games for the kids which they enjoyed. Really reasonably priced meal as well. Would really recommend & would come again ☺️

We had a great stay at Sarahs place. Great location near the beach and also having the pool on site is handy for wet days.

Lovely clean lodge and lovely area for a short stay!!
