Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Galloway Forest Park

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.

Lovely quaint cottage, both beds extremely comfortable, shower pressure great! Quiet rural location. Unfortunately the weather didn’t favour our planned hiking in the area but it means we will return.

Stayed with family. 5 of us. Beautiful place. So peaceful. Loved it. Some insects inside the house, but that’s expected since it’s summer.

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.

Fabulous house. Less than three minutes to harbour. And right on river. Perfect location. Ian’s instructions and recommendations were very helpful. Check out the photographs on walls. I believe these photos are taken by Hazel. Sadly the Bistro in Castle St is no longer trading. Best to book restaurants. Some only open a few days in the week. Also several shops/attractions close at 4.00pm. Lots to do in Kirkcudbright.

Ann's cottage was amazing as ever, 2nd stay here and it won't be the last, beautiful village and the muddy duck cafe is a must, brand new renovation with stunning outside space, great for breakfast and lunch, and the odd fellows pub great for evening meals, the bed in the cottage is one of the best I've slept on and Ann has thought of every possible detail and the garden is perfect for relaxing in too. Thanks again Ann was for the perfect getaway xx

Amazing stay for birthday with friends. Best Airbnb I have stayed at and best hosts by far! Great peaceful weekend in the country and nothing was a problem even when we decided to add a few of the extras during our stay the guys sorted it with a quick message. Can’t wait to get back and stay again.

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!

Martin was a great host Caravan was very clean and well kept throughout would highly recommend and would definitely stay there again 5 🌟 thanks for a great stay

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!

Thankyou Brenda and Ronnie for being wonderfully thoughtful hosts. Your homely caravan was the perfect place to stay. Our stay was peaceful and relaxing.

this was an absolute gem of a find. the cottage is set in quiet beautiful scenic countryside. it was a very comfortable place to stay. the views of the hills were amazing and we were able to sit out until late on the patio and enjoy the sunset and balmy evening. the cottage had all the equipment and amenities we needed and everything was in good working order and clean. the hot tub was clean, ready to use and situated looking onto the hills for peaceful relaxing views.

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!

Beautiful spot and perfect place for our family to stay in. The caravan was clean, with a well equipped kitchen, which we really liked! Wi-Fi was a bit poor, but we expected that as the site is quite remote. I recommend Dorota's place to anyone who wants to have a rest from their busy life. Thank you for having us.

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

Beautiful apartment. Great location and scenery. Really clean and comfy place.

We had a great stay at Calgow Cottages! The cottage itself was lovely and homely, whilst being well equipped with high quality furnishings. The kitchen had everything we needed and we had a very comfortable stay. We often holiday with our dog in self catering cottages and we felt this was a very high quality stay in a nice clean cottage. It just felt like home :) Graeme and Phillip were very easy to contact with any questions and very responsive. Area was very handy for visiting the 7stanes mountain biking trails and lots of lovely walks. Overall a lovely relaxing break!

It has been a pleasure to stay in Zan's house. Very comfortable, clean and makes you feel at home. The children loved the horses, chickens and all the animals. It was the perfect spot to recharge our batteries

Hazel's & Mike's place was lovely! Booked for two nights to attend a wedding nearby. Needed somewhere for our small family to stay and this was perfect! lovely place with very well kept accommodation in a quiet location! Everything was great and more than what you could need - very nice bathroom/wet room, and fully equipped kitchen keeping the toddler fed easily! Very spacious bedroom with perfect size beds for all. Would stay here again in a heartbeat if we find ourselves in this part of the world again!

We had a great stay at Hilltop, it's a lovely cottage. I was able to have breakfast outside every day of my stay which was a real luxury for me. We did some great hikes too venturing to the Borrowdale valley with its stunning views and even went down to the beach one day. Good communication with Natasha as well, would definitely reccomend.

The house was beautiful and the direct access to the beach was a lovely bonus. The village has a great, dog friendly, pub and cafe which was perfect for us.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Lots of space, all necessities provided. Easy to find and close to various attractions. Great view out of the kitchen. Comfortable bed and pristine bathroom.

We had a absolutely amazing stay at the coach house. Fabulous for a big group get together with beautiful bedrooms and loads of lounge space. The weather was absolutely glorious so we could take full advantage of the fire pit, hot tub and absolutely gorgeous outdoor area. The kitchen is well equipped with a second utility area upstairs for laundry and a spare fridge. Gavin was fab and happy to help with anything we needed. We took a walk to Loch Stroan with Tarn the farm dog guiding us along the way! Thanks so much for a brilliant stay.
