Cottage vacation rentals in Southerness

Lovely time with family at this great cottage. We had never been to this part of Scotland before and Penpont was a very convenient base to explore from. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay for four adults - we loved the log fire and the hot tub! The kitchen is well equipped for self catering and the beds are comfortable. An excellent place to stay for small groups.

Booked this cottage as a getaway to propose to my partner. She said yes, which was great, and the cottage is fantastic. The photos really don't do it justice, the bathroom is massive, bed really comfy and the hot tub is incredible and feels really private (pack flip flops for getting to and from the hottub). The gate to the river is lovely but it's steep so make sure you've got some hiking boots with you. If not, just leave via the front door and turn left to get to the same place. 20 minute drive to Carlisle and about 10 mins to Gretna. Plenty to see and do but you will need to drive, couldn't find a taxi service that was open. Had a really relaxing time here and can't recommend it enough. ps. avoid the cows in the field next to the river walk (the public footpath going to st Michael's well) - they will chase you.

We had a lovely stay at Claire’s property. I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, I was impressed by the cleanliness and comfort of the space. The property was beautifully maintained, with all the amenities you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. The hot tub was always warm surrounded by beautiful scenery. We will definitely be returning.

Our stay at The Stables was heaven. Paul welcomed us and showed us around and had even set up the hot tub for us arriving. The house was immaculate with everything you could possibly need and beautifully decorated too. We loved the Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom. The garden was beautiful and so peaceful and our two dogs loved it, it was completely secure for them which meant we could relax. The view from the garden and the location were wonderful, it was just what we needed. We didn’t want to leave and would love to come back sometime soon. Thank you for being wonderful hosts and for our cheeseboard and Prosecco it was such a thoughtful touch.

Beautiful home, very spacious and plenty of amenities. felt right at home! perfect for toddlers too. Ian was great, very helpful and easily contactable.

We have just returned from the most wonderful long weekend stay at the Coach House, and we loved every minute of it. The setting is so beautiful and peaceful, and we were so lucky with the weather to be able to enjoy the outdoor space all day and into the evenings, watching the little lambs in the field and the wildlife come and go from the pond, and listening to the bird song, it’s was glorious. The house is lovely, spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We loved sitting out at the campfire at night and stargazing, and having a soak in the wood fire tub. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return, it’s a very special place. Thanks so much to the Slogarie team for such a wonderful getaway, we will be back!

For what our group wanted it was perfect not a bad word to say about the place, perfect or group weekend away in the country side just what a place!

what a gem! photos don't do it justice. the place was so homley and well presented. such charm. the area was lovely too, friendly neighbours and great community on the street. brilliant base for our family's Lake district adventure. excited to stay again!

wardhall cottages is a perfect peaceful retreat. Great fire, laid and ready to light on arrival. Huge bath beautiful countryside with easy walks to a woodland with the dogs. Near to Cockermouth for shops and cafes and close to Allonby for beautiful beach walks and sunsets.

lovely cottage, lovely area and lovely people, including Andrew and Yvette. and the dogs ha ha ha

A lovely cottage in a beautiful area. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog and there were places to walk him too from the village. Location is quiet, peaceful and private.

Lovely location, was very clean and had all we needed. Garage was a big plus; lots of room for our gear. Thanks for a great stay!

I had a truly lovely stay with Chester 🐶. The cottage is set right at the foot of Gowbarrow Fell, making it the perfect base for a peaceful getaway. There are so many beautiful walks straight from the doorstep, so we didn’t need to get in the car at all all weekend – just put our walking shoes on and go. The cottage itself is charming and cosy, equipped with everything you could possibly need – a real home from home. It’s clear a lot of thought has gone into making it comfortable and welcoming. Chester loved it just as much as I did! I’m already looking forward to coming back.

Tim and I had a wonderful time staying at Stephanie’s Airbnb. She was very friendly and quick with communication. The house had a beautiful garden with a pond and a friendly chicken. The kitchen and living room was spacious and homely and the bed was super comfortable. We had come in spring so it was incredible waking up every morning to listen to so many birds and to watch the sunsets from the kitchen window at night. Will defo come again :)

This is a super little cottage in a quiet, private lane but an easy walk from the middle of Moffat. It's outstandingly well-equipped, nicely decorated and very clean. Two things in particular stood out. First, the quality of the bedding. It's depressingly common to arrive at an Airbnb and find a cheap, thin, flimsy duvet and bobbly poly-cotton bed-linen, even in places where money has obviously been spent on things such as the television. Not so here, where there is a gorgeous feather duvet and pillows in cotton covers. Second, being able to control the timing and temperature of the heating rather than having this imposed by the owner. I was working all day and needed only a bit of heating morning and evening, not all day, and it was good to be able to organise a cool bedroom at night. Both these things made my stay memorable for all the right reasons. The owners are friendly, helpful and responsive and I'd recommend this wee place to anyone.

We had an exceptional stay at Manesty ! The location in was absolutely stunning, surrounded by beautiful scenery that made the visit truly special. The area was calm and peaceful, providing the perfect retreat from daily life. The host's instructions were clear, making the check-in process seamless. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Lake District in a serene and relaxing

We would definitely recommend to stay here! This cosy cottage is the perfect place for some peace. The log burner is well equipped and very warm. James was a great host and made us feel very welcome. He was attentive, happy to help and share advice/ recommendations on the local area which had plenty of walks, places to eat etc. If the sky is clear you will be in for a treat with the sky! 🌌

An amazing stay for the family, we all had a fantastic time. Susan was so friendly and gave us all brilliant experience which we won’t forget in feeding the lambs. The cottage was exactly as described and suited our needs perfectly. Susan left us lots of goodies, including homemade scones, which were excellent! The weather couldn’t have been better while we stayed, but even if that hadn’t been the case, we still would have enjoyed the area as it’s stunning, and there’s so much to see.

Place was great, really enjoyed the stay. Middle of nowhere if I’m honest, but if that’s what you’re looking for it was great. Thanks Erika.

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!

This is a great place. We could’ve done with longer - struck gold with the weather so didn’t use the leisure facilities as much as we might have. Really well placed for visiting Keswick and Penrith. Whinlatter Forest took us about 30 mins to get to - great for walks, bikes, cafe.

Lovely little cottage. Great location , easy walk into town centre and the bonus of a parking space. Cottage itself was clean and well equipped for the two of us. Friendly host with good communication.

We had a great week. The hosts had made it very welcoming and christmassy (including tree in lounge). It's a beautiful location and in better weather would be a great base for the lakes/dales. It has a well stocked kitchen and once we'd worked out the log burner/heating was easy to keep warm. We were warned about the driveway which at points is like off-roading, but we did manage to navigate it without 4x4's. If you are up for a secluded location, or a base for hiking, or just somewhere to relax then I would recommend.
