Cottage vacation rentals in Stranraer

A 40 year celebration of being married. It was the perfect place for us to relax and enjoy our time together. Many highlights the hot tub view the peacock and peahen dance every night... The night flyover from the herons. Martyn was a perfect host very helpful. Perfect memories thank you.

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!

We had such a lovely stay! It was well located for getting out for local walks and was wonderful to come back to at the end of the day (the hot tub and sauna were wonderful after a day hiking!). The place had everything we needed and Jane and Steve were really helpful - thank you!

Such a magical place so peaceful and well looked after couldn’t have asked for anything better me and my partner and 2 kids really enjoyed our long weekend there will definitely be coming back

Lovely place. Accurate pictures, though when you get there it feels even nicer than photos can show. Very friendly and responsive. Sometimes it can be quite a vulnerable experience travelling as an LGBTQIA+ couple, but here we felt welcome and safe. Hope to visit again with friends and family.

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!

Perfect cottage, lovely scenery. Lots of local recommendations from the hosts. Well worth a stay

We had a lovely stay at the gate house. It was beautiful, clean and very tidy. The hot tub was an added bonus which we thoroughly enjoyed with the beautiful sunset. We also had a very warm welcome from Chris and Hannah. Highly recommend and we will be back ! 🤩🤩

We had a fantastic stay in the cottage, it was a lovely cosy space, with everything we could need. Particularly appreciated the cot and highchair, and the washing/drying facilities for soggy walking clothes! Lorna was super friendly and helpful and we look forward to staying again on Arran!

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!

2 Calgow Cottages is a fantastic cottage in a peaceful setting with lots of bird life in the gardens. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for a short or long stay, with a well equipped kitchen, lovely inside and outside seating areas, and three good sized bedrooms. Philip and Graeme were really helpful via message, giving recommendations for places to eat and generally being friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this property to others, and hope to stay again on a future visit to the area.

Very kind and welcoming hosts. It’s a lovely peaceful experience to stay on their working farm. The sunset from the kitchen looking out at the horse and sheep in the field was beautiful. The stars at night are so clear too and the chickens outside in the morning was very cute my children loved seeing the animals each morning. Short 20 min drive for most shops and kids activities/farm parks but great amenities in kitchen for cooking there too.

Perfectly hosted, lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful location. Definitely recommended and would stay again. Thanks to Amber and Chris

Most enjoyable few days in this warm, cosy cottage. Lovely walks for the dogs and so many little birds! Linda very friendly and able to make recommendations for places to eat in area beyond Leadhills. Many thanks.

Even better than expected! We were delayed because of travel challenges and Alison was extremely helpful, even offering to help us when our rental car had a flat tire. The Airbnb was beautiful and the location was exactly what we hoped for: peaceful, quiet, private and surrounded by rolling hills and stunning countryside. We felt safe and welcome by Alison and her family. I’ve stayed in more than 60 Airbnbs around the world and this was one of the best experiences. I loved the cleanliness and solitude, perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing retreat. I would absolutely stay at Alison’s property again.

I had a lovely few days at Lesley's place. It's secluded and quiet which is just what I was after. The views are beautiful and I was lucky enough to have clear skies to do some stargazing. The house itself is well set up and comfortable. Lots of great locations within a short distance and Lesley had some nice recommendations of places to go. I would advise to arrive in good daylight as the track to and through the farm is very dark.

We stayed at Shurig cottage as family of 4 (kids 4 and 2 years) and grandad! The hosts were really helpful with pre trip and during the trip especially with recommendations of things to do and places to eat. The accommodation was spotless and had all amenities needed. We loved the modern cosy cottage feel! The outdoor space was great too! Highlights of the trip included blackwaterfoot beach which was a great sandy beach for the kids and we even had the kayak out too, Mara fish restaurant in Corrie, seals seen on the west coast, hiking to Machrie Moor standing stones and Kings cave! Both Brodrick castle and the Thyme cafe had great outdoor play areas for the kids (we loved the Pide there too)! We also loved Arran butchers and the bakehouse in Blackwaterfoot! Hamilton cottages is a perfect base for these activities and we will hopefully be back soon! Thank you!

Lovely stay with the family. Felt very homely and had everything catered for. Steen was super responsive and even allowed us to stay a bit longer due to the weather forecast. Thankyou for enabling a great week with the family.

My son and I stayed at the cottage for 4 nights whilst we went to watch the Open golf at Troon. It was a lovely, peaceful location to return home to, to relax after long days walking round the golf course. The cottage is well equipped and situated in the beautiful grounds of Cloncaird Castle - stunning.

Excellent modern cottage on the outskirts of Gatehouse of Fleet, in the hills up to Galloway forest. A great retreat for quietness and to get away from it all. The hosts are excellent, this being on a farm it was nice to see the animals. Would love to be back someday. Enjoyed having 7 days of sun sitting on that patio.

The house was warm and comfortable with everything we needed. We appreciated the Christmas tree and decorations which made it feel especially welcoming. It is in a scenic and peaceful area with some interesting places to explore nearby. The conservatory and garden would make it an ideal place to visit in the summer. We would certainly recommend this property.

The cottage was great... clean, comfortable, plenty of space (bigger inside than what you would think) and very quiet. Was ideally situated for us, visiting family in nearby Dalrymple. Would happily stay here again.

We had an incredible stay at Dunskey - it is definitely worth the effort!! Our cottage was perfect. Equipped with everything we needed, decorated beautifully and comfortable. The estate itself is wonderful with beaches, lochs, waterfalls, a maze and plenty of walks so we barely left. We enjoyed a fishing lesson with Steven the head groundsman, he was knowledgeable, friendly and we throughly enjoyed it, even though we unsuccessfully at getting a catch. Port Patrick is lovely with a nice beach, pubs and a local village store. We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back again!!!

What a beautiful airbnb home. It had everything we needed with a welcome basket also that Brendan and Rhona had kindly done for our arrival. Milk, jam, butter and hot cross buns for easter. They even had a caffetire of hot coffee ready for our arrival and a beautiful vase of flowers. The accommodation was so compy and clean. Set in the lovely friendly Newton Stuart. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend. Thank you Brendan and Rhona for our home from home. 🩷
