Cottage vacation rentals in Stranraer

Lakeside Cottage is beautiful, peaceful, steeped in history & easy to access once you know where it is, we drove past it 3 times lol. We were greeted with gorgeous fresh flowers in each room & a very tasty bottle of prosecco. Most Definitely will be going back at some point in the near future & can't recommend it enough as a quiet getaway - listening to the river Ayr was blissful!!

A very beautiful cottage in a private setting. We were met by George on arrival. George was very friendly and informative. We instantly felt right at home. Welcome basket on the kitchen table was a lovely touch. We settled in very quickly and with ease as parking was right outside the cottage. We enjoyed the very clean hot tub in the evenings after our busy days out as well as excellent carryout deliveries. Quality of food was very good. Another highlight was watching the various types of birds feeding, which we could see from the kitchen table and seating area. Especially the Woodpecker which made a regular appearance. We all enjoyed a truly relaxing break in very comfortable and private surroundings. Our check-in and check-out was effortless. Thank you George and Amanda, we will certainly be back.

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!

Thank you so much Jane- this was one of the most peaceful, restorative places I’ve ever stayed. The birdsong and sound of rushing water was amazing. I loved reading books in the jacuzzi and taking walks around the countryside. It was really an oasis of peace and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have stayed!

The Conifers is a wonderful, peaceful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring Dumfries and Galloway and coming back to such a wonderful relaxing spot each day. The hot tub water was checked daily and chemicals added if required which really impressed me. The lodges and cabins have plenty of room between them so you can be assured of privacy. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying here and 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!

Gorgeous place with beautiful scenery! Rebecca and Dave were super attentive and helpful. Would 100% recommend this place.

Despite the poor weather we had a great time at the Gate House. Chris was very friendly and helpful explaining all we needed to know to ensure we enjoyed ourselves. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We loved the hot tub, even in the pouring rain! We hope to return in the future.

Very comfortable and spotlessly clean accommodation in a beautiful location. A very relaxing and peaceful stay, thank you.

Lovely peaceful stay in beautiful grounds. Lots of walks on the private grounds including walk to their private beach. Very tranquil and special place. We did a few day trips including Ayr PortPatrick some local areas for nice restaurants. My son loves football and we went to see local town Stranraer play on his birthday and they won. We saw lots of deer and nature everywhere. Children loved the zip wire and there was a games room which we didn’t manage to get to. Kate and Angus couldn’t have been more helpful, lots of great recommendations and wonderful welcome hamper which was delicious and appreciated. Beautiful place and private grounds bigger than expected. We were sad to leave and miss the lovely scenery. Thanks so much for a memorable trip.

Very nice place and Zan and Joe were lovely hosts and for anyone looking for a nice clean cottage and a peaceful location it’s spot on 10/10

Gorgeous rural location. Very friendly host & family. Cottage was much larger than expected. We had a lovely stay.

The most magical place to stay. From the moment we booked we received the warmest of welcomes and it just got better and better. The Lodge was pristine, the facilities top drawer and the surroundings breathtaking. Truly one of the best AirBnB stays we’ve ever had. Loved it and will definitely be back.

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.

I had a peaceful, relaxing stay at the Bothy. It’s in a beautiful, secluded spot with a secure garden—perfect for my dog. I loved the river walk to the Brig o’ Doon, beach walks nearby, and Rozelle Estate’s Remembrance Forest and Squirrel Nutkin Trail. Chris was a warm and welcoming host, with fresh scones on arrival and delicious on site honey for sale. The bed was very comfortable as everyone said, and linens and towels were spotless. The EV charger was easy to use and a big plus. A few areas could be cleaner on arrival—crumbs on the rug and dining table and some grit / moss at the back door. Minor DIY fixes, like a clamp on the shower door and bed frame, made it feel slightly unfinished. A skylight blind would help with early morning light, so bring an eye mask if you’re sensitive to it. Overall, a charming retreat with lots of potential and a lovely host. A few small improvements would really enhance the experience.

Andreas place was absolutely stunning exactly as described totally worth the money. We were also able to take our cats as our sitter had bailed out which was totally convenient for us as we were there for the weekend. This Airbnb is located so close to Troon town Centre and the Royal golf course as well as Lochgreen House Hotel where we attended a wedding. We would have loved to have stayed for longer as there’s so much we could have done in Troon. this Airbnb has everything you need and Andrea has totally accommodated guest needs within this house, has thought of everything.

An exceptional Airbnb. Gina is a great host and the attention to detail at the property is second to none. A real home from home. The views from the property are wonderful. The property is remote, but with that, you get peace and quiet and there is an amazing amount of countryside and coastline to explore nearby. I would highly recommend this property to anyone.

Drumla Cottage is a beautiful place and the views are stunning. Catherine is very friendly and couldn't have been more helpful throughout our stay. Everything that we needed was available at the cottage and it could not be faulted.

Had a lovely - albeit brief - stay at the cottage. Was perfect for my family, great set up and Debbie was very friendly and helpful. Would certainly stay again next time in the area.

Accommodation was booked for colleagues for business purposes. Everything was exactly as described and suited out needs perfectly. Very friendly host and communicative hosts. Would definitely stay here again!

Our host, Karen, was perfect. She was polite, friendly and extremely helpful. Her property was stunning and had everything we needed to be a a home from home. Her particular attention to our dogs needs really stood out. We were welcomed by milk in the fridge, fresh fruit, treats and toys for the dog and a plethora of leaflets books and dining out ideas for the area. Loved the little touches like notes on the OS maps…it really is the little details that count. We had an amazing stay in this beautiful and peaceful property. Creetown had so much to offer in such a welcoming and subtle way, everyone in the community was friendly and took the time to talk about places to go, local history…and even helped us deer spot literally meters from the front door. Perfect week away.

Great place to stay; peaceful, comfortable and relaxing.

Booked for colleagues, the cottage is very clean, comfortable and and well equipped. Liz was extremely helpful and quick to response with our queries. We will book again when back in the area.

We loved staying at Louise's place for a night as we travelled up the west coast. Check in was easy and everything was nice and clean when we arrived. The garden in the back is lovely and the two woodburners give a lovely cottage feel to the place.
