Vacation rentals with beach access in Dumfries and Galloway

We stayed here on our way to the Highlands as a stop over and it was perfect. There was myself, my partner and our 9 year old daughter. Deborah was very welcoming to us after such a long drive, she had prepared a lovely lunch of sandwiches and cake for us and left some milk in the fridge for a very welcome cup of tea and coffee. The place was spotless and had everything we could possibly need. The weather was not fantastic but in the summer the garden would be lovey to sit and relax in. The highlight for my little girl was the jacuzzi bath which was fantastic! The place was very cosy and we easily could have stayed for longer had we had more time in our trip. The beach was very close which was much appreciated by our dog Bella. We will definitely consider staying here again on our next trip to the Highlands.

Amazing place to stay. I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Liz is very responsive and extremely kind. Seriously one of the best places I’ve stayed. I’d highly recommend this place to any friends or family. A+

myself and my family had a wonderful stay in Ayr at Catherine's apartment only downfall was the weather but everything else was fabulous hopefully we will return again soon

A delightful property that met all our needs. Wonderful view of harbour, and rooms thoughtfully designed and furnished to make the most of this. Helpful owner — nothing too much trouble. Comfortable, well equipped and utterly peaceful. Not to mention high quality cafe downstairs.

Absolutely perfect stay! The place was pure luxury relaxing, spotless, and exactly as described in the listing. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The attention to detail and comfort was top-notch. Highly recommend this host and would definitely love to return!

The place was great,spotless,peaceful and had great tv. the bed was so comfy,room spotless. the only thing I would say is need a wee lamp in bedroom. all the house was amazingly clean and fresh. Nice touch to have tea and coffee with milk there for us. Sher was easy to contact and replied quickly. would make a great base to travel from. we will return. thanks Sher

The flat suited us perfectly. We know the area well and were lucky to be able to make the booking when our family were staying nearby.

great place would have loved ro soend more time there, we were only there for 1 night but already looking at next year

Our 1st time at Cruggleton Lodge - though we have stayed at the relatively adjacent High Lodge several times. As at HL before, we had an idyllic week - which the facilities at CL provided an excellent foundation for. CL is secluded, set in the edge of woodlands, with breath-taking views out to sea. The walk through the woods down to Garlieston starts literally outside the door. Woods containing deer, hares and a wide variety of bird species. Have already booked again!

Bonshaw Grange had it all! Welcoming hosts, fantastic location, open living space for all our family, a beautiful garden with an area for the children to play, a hot tub by the river and animals that we all loved. I could continue to write an essay about how amazing this place is… I’ll save you a read, just book it!

My husband and I had never stayed on the Dunskey Estate before, or in this part of Scotland. Both were a revelation. The estate is gorgeous with tracks through the woodland displaying wonderful autumn colour. The accommodation was beautiful, comfortable and tranquil. We loved the decked garden from which to view the Hunters moon and starlit sky. The secret entrance to the enchanting walled garden was magical. The surrounding delights of Portpatrick, lighthouses, Logan Botanic Gardens and the Mull of Galloway were stunning on a blue sky day. Sadly, our stay was too short this time, but we would love to return to enjoy Dunskey in different seasons. Thank you for sharing.

Gorgeous home and yard! Loved it!

Erin has enhanced the smart, clean accommodation with her beautiful original artwork. The house was equipped with all those extras you either forget or have to shop for, especially in the kitchen. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was exceptional. We were pleasantly surprised to find the tv included prime and was easy to use. There was a wealth of local info including a new OS map. Our bikes were safely stored in the garden and parking was ideal, right outside the front door. A real home from home for us! We hope to visit again.

I loved my stay in the Studio at Courtyard Cottage it was great from start to finish x Betsey was incredibly helpful with everything and there if I needed anything but gave me privacy too! It was really cosy but felt roomy with everything you need. I loved the old stable features as I ride horses💕 The dog had a great time at the nearby beaches and the Spring Fling in Kirkcudbright was fabulous. I would definitely recommend Betsey’s place and I will be back for sure! Thank you Betsey for a great stay x

What a beautiful house in a beautiful peaceful location. From start to finish Haylie has been nothing but helpful and kind. We were celebrating my parents golden wedding and the house has helped towards creating lasting memories for us all. Highly recommend 😃

From the moment we stepped through the door, the place was perfection. Everything we needed and wanted was provided for, from the kitchen to the lovely garden. Louise was wonderful to work with and I with not hesitate to stay here again.

Have stayed in a many B&B's, Hotels etc over the years and this is one of the best. Hosts have provided an immaculate, comfortable home away from home. If you want to stay in or near Portpatrick then this is the place. Book it NOW!

2nd time in Port Logan and will definitely be back for a 3rd. The cottage is just beautiful and the views are second to none,. Great hosts and welcome basket was a lovely touch. Had a great time!

This well-equipped ground-floor apartment looking out onto the sea a few 100 ms away is fairly centrally located in Ayr. Good access to Burns birthplace in Alloway and the amazing Culzean castle along the coast. If you are interested in history, there is much to see in the neighbouring countryside and coastline apart from the town-centre. Alison is a great host and left lots of welcome treats including butter, milk and Scottish goodies! She was quick to respond to our queries and provided lots of useful advice. A wonderful stay in a cosy, clean and comfortable flat with a reasonable time to check out at 11 am! Kids loved access to both Netflix and Disney! Thank you Alison!

Great host helped me last minute with booking and a lovely little flat everything you need and clean host communicates very well

John was an excellent host - the accommodation was perfect for our workers needs. Highly recommended. Will defo try to book if back in the area.

Three of us stayed for a couple of nights on a golfing trip, the location is excellent with street parking right next to the front door and just a couple of minutes walk from the town centre and to the local pubs and restaurants and the accommodation itself was perfect, with plenty of room. We asked if we could check in early and it wasn't a problem and we were met by Jimmy, who was very helpful in explaining everything that we may need. If you are staying in or around Stranraer, then I recommend you stay at Lorna's place.

David & Tia's place was perfect, everything as described. It is a lovely quiet location, tastefully furnished, and very homely. We were very comfortable and David & Tia are great hosts. They are easy to communicate with and most helpful. We would highly recommend this stay. Thankyou David and Tia

Great base for exploring the area. 5 mins walk to the beach, coastal road to the south and island ferries to the north. As well as a couple of mins drive to the Robert Burns cottage and visitor centre (and Ayr parkrun, sadly cancelled this week so went to Troon)! Olena was lovely, welcomed us and gave recommendations for the area. The flat was good, very comfortable and had easy parking.
