Holiday homes & rentals in Dumfries and Galloway

Its a nice enough refurbished ex-council house on a slightly tired estate but is a short walk from Portpatrick harbour and provides a nice quiet base to explore Galloway. Couple of gripes about the house. One; when I'm paying several hundred pounds to stay for a week I really don't expect to have to spread my clothes over the floor in corners of the room as the master bedroom has next to zero draw space (and we'd used ALL the supplied coathangers - there is plenty of floorspace for a chest of draws). Two; I would have appreciated a blind or curtains on all of the windows not least for privacy (the bedrooms are fine & the master bedroom has a blind & curtain to keep the light out). Oh and the house says it has a BBQ (on some of the multiple websites its listed on) it doesn't. Nothing major wrong, just "details", but that does matter for the price being charged

Cottage was as expected from description on website. It was spacious with ample room for our family group (7 adults and a baby). Large garden was flat and good for games. We used the hot tub every day and even had a bbq. Pool table was a real hit too. House was clean and reasonably well equipped, although a few extra mugs would have been useful. We arrived to find the highchair requested was not there, but within a few minutes of texting Ian appeared with it for us. There was plenty parking for our 4 cars. Area was quite, lovely fish and chips in the village and we booked the small swimming pool at the holiday park (10 mins walk away) which you get all to yourself for £20 an hour.

A lovely holiday lodge in total. The accommodation was neat and beautifully arranged. The hot tub was always warm and fully functional. There is a nice view from the accommodation. The only thing lacking is a microwave; however, overall it was a wonderful experience.

Perfect little cottage for two (and a dog!). Tight in the high street but quiet. Well equipped - nice touch to leave milk, wine sugar etc. even had WiFi, sky and Netflix! Only suggestion is a dishwasher would be more useful than a freezer.

The house was perfect. Spacious, clean and a fantastic welcome pack for us. Everything that we needed was there.

Lovely Lodge, the level of cleanliness was at the highest level, all the appliances worked and spotless Lovely staff very friendly and helpful The hot tube was amazing

The Holly Cottage was beautiful, warm and welcoming. It has lovely features that you dont normally find in holiday rentals. With the location, surrounded by the owner's family, you feel like part of the community. The cottage can't be improved on. It is perfect in every sense and we will definitively go back.

Walking into the cottage was a delight. It was like a warm hug wrapping itself around us. Well equipped kitchen, lounge/dining area spacious & provided Wifi, TV, radio, cd player. Abundance of jigsaws & a bookshelf. Informative folder containing details of local amenities & attractions. Spacious bathroom & 2 bedrooms with ample furnishing & bedding. There were plenty of local walks as well as places further afield. Rockcliffe a lovely sandy beach, Forest of Ae stunning forest setting with a gorgeous river running through it. For us the fact the cottage is dog friendly & their were treats for our Springer & welcome box for us humans, amazing.

It was comfortable and clean. Wifi was easy to access. All instructions were easy to follow. The view was amazing which made it very relaxing with the use of the hot tub On arrival the bottle of prosecco and chocolates were a nice touch.
