Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Ayrshire

Carole met us to check in, showed us round the fabulous house and made sure we were settled. The house and largy garden are the best we have ever stayed in, and all our Airbnb have been very good to excellent. The location is great for exploring Galloway. We had a fantastic holiday.

A great place to stay for a small group/family gathering. There are 2 living rooms and outdoor space so room to spread out. We loved the hot tub! The hobbit house is a cool addition with fairy lights, a Bluetooth speaker and is very well-insulated so warm even without the central fire going. The house has beautiful views and was a lovely place to relax and be cosy on rainy days. Only a short (15 mins) drive to the small towns of Kirkcudbright and Castle Douglas, Threave Gardens and the Kite feeding place at Laurieston.

We were impressed by the photos on the website but the cottage was even more impressive than the pictures suggested. A spotlessly clean cottage, warm and welcoming, with lots of spaces to relax from the comfortable bedroom, spacious lounge, dining kitchen, cosy nook, and porch area at the back of the property. The garden was magical too, and I found myself drawn to wander around it, seeing something new each time. We were VERY lucky with the weather & the lower patio area was a fabulous suntrap! We have a friend who lives on Bute and when we come back we will definitely look to book Hawthorn Cottage. Thank you Rosemary, we had a wonderful stay.

The cottage was beautifully and thoughtfully presented. Living, dining and sleeping spaces were large, wonderfully furnished and comfortable. Appliances were spotless and of high quality. A welcome package of milk, fresh orange juice, eggs, bread, butter and bottled water was left. Georgina was the perfect host, responding quickly to questions or queries and checking in with us on the second day of our visit to make sure that we were settled. Georgina’s eye for interior design was evident. For people travelling with dogs it should be noted, (that as mentioned in the property listing), the outside space is limited to a paved courtyard, probably not secure for smaller dogs. The property manual does provide details of how to reach walks by foot. We didn’t try either of these despite the short distance we would have had to walk on the road to reach them. We travelled expecting to drive to wooded areas to walk our boys. I’m sure we’ll be back! Thank you 😊

what a fantastic stay! beautiful property and amazing owners! absolutely loved it and we were made to feel right at home. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your incredible home!

Carmen is a super host, we absolutely loved the home from home home feel. My little boy who is 2 years of age settled to sleep well in the childrens room (this tells me he felt safe in the cottage). The roku stick was available to use and worked easily. The trail at the side if the house has beautiful waterfalls to view and a few stopping spots for those who need to go a little slower/steady or have children. We experienced no issues at all with our stay. Thank you Carmen we will definitely be back again.

Our week at The Stables is one of the best holidays we've ever had. Laura and Ronnie we're so welcoming and the accommodation is idyllic. It was such a relaxing week in a stunning area. There were plenty of walks to do with our boys (dogs) and resident Bertie made them feel right at home. We're still missing Bertie now!! I think I asked Ronnie for local recommendations everyday and he was always so happy to help. We'd highly recommend Nick Nairn's for a meal and takeaway pizza! The Stables was impeccably clean, perfectly equipped for our stay and an all round great spot. We'll definitely be visiting again.

Absolutely fabulous stay at Andrew's house - beautiful house with every amentity including a fabulous hot tub, dog friendly and spotelssly clean - our group ( 5 x adults + 1x child + 1 x dog) had a great time. What really set the stay apart was Andrew's super friendly welcome - couldn't have been a better host.

This apartment was perfect for our family of 8. Great location with many restaurants in the area. Easy access to bus service for city center. Facilities had everything we needed. Perfect place.

Fantastic stay. Caravan had everything we needed for our stay including condiments, iron, towels etc. Beautifully decorated and in a peaceful area. We will definitely be booking again!

Had really great stay , tha accommodation was great had everything you needed. The boys loved the holiday and exploring Scotland was awesome

wee booked this on the day and david was very helpful emailing over local amenities (pubs, restaurants, shops etc) that can be located. Instructions for check in/out was easily followed. The Lodge is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Pictures do not do this justice. The smell from walking through the front door was amazing with the diffusers dotted around the lodge. Bedding was crisps and smelling lush. The whole inside decor and home to home feel was magical. Tv has Netflix and prime which was ideal to watch at night to relax after being in the hot tub. Hot tub was all ready for us arriving. What made this for us was the hot tub was undercover (it rained when we were here). Lovely outside patio furniture and it's beautifully lit up with lights all around the lodge and the surrounding areas. Aaron miniature products are in the bathroom to be used which smell divine. Alot of thought has been put into these lodges. I will definitely be back! thank you for everything :)

Jacqui was absolutely fantastic, so friendly and so helpful and kind felt at home and so comfortable the place was spotless the hot-tubs were placed perfectly and got your own privacy with beautiful views. 10/10 will be back

Just back from a fab stay here. The Chalet has every comfort you could think of and made our time at the site very enjoyable. Another shout out for the air fryer and dish washer plus generous supplies were in stock for our arrival. The whole place was lovely and clean with a surprising amount of space. There is a lot to do in the area, the Ayr farm park was a massive hit for our kiddo. Highly recommend!

Fantastic stay, can't wait to come back. Thank you Mary!

We had a lovely holiday. The caravan was so homely and very clean. Lots of little added extras. Beautiful place. Will definitely book again and would highly recommend. Thank you

Lovely residence exactly as described even down to little things like fresh flowers in every room and fresh milk in the fridge. Bed lovely and comfy so had excellent nights sleep. Would highly recommend.

Had the most relaxing time at the Banchory Farm. The cottage is absolutely stunning the surrounding is peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely come back!

We had a fantastic stay at this cozy countryside cottage. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the cottage had all the equipment we could possibly need — from kitchen essentials to comfortable bedding and even thoughtful little extras. The location is perfect if you’re looking to relax and unwind in beautiful natural surroundings. We enjoyed the fresh air and the calm of the countryside. The host clearly put a lot of love into the place, with plenty of charming details that made it feel both homey and special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet, well-equipped escape in a lovely setting!

This is a lovely, cosy and beautifully equipped place to stay within easy reach of Glasgow and many surrounding places of interest. The train station, which is only about a 10minute drive, has free parking and trains run regularly into Glasgow central. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and meeting Pauline.

Stunning location for a peaceful getaway. Had the pleasure to spend 5 nights at the cottage for a mini-break. The house has everything you need for your stay and the beauty of the location speaks for itself. The icing on the cake is the private beach, great for the doggies and getting out on the water. Sure we'll be back!

Awesome accommodation in a beautiful area. We enjoyed a lovely walk along the river and even took a drink to enjoy in the peaceful surroundings. Chris’s homemade scones were the best! Highly recommend.

Me my partner and toddler visited for my sons birthday, it was absolutely breathtaking, i think i could have moved in, Raewyn was amazing, so lovely and so helpful! We had no problems at all everything was completely perfect! Counting down the days until we can come back! Made my sons birthday it was awesome!!!
