Cottage holiday rentals in Isle of Whithorn

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!

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!

We chose to stay here due to its location for walking and exploring the mountains, especially Scafell Pike. The hot tub was a must as we have enjoyed the use of one every year we've been away. The cottage is stunning and the views are beautiful. Everything you need is in the cottage and the standard furnishing is high. Lisa was accommodating as we had 3 hounds. During our holiday we had a problem with the hot tub and Lisa was really helpful, responsive and advised us what to do. We would definitely come back and recommend the footage to friends and family.

Kathryn’s stay was lovely! Perfect location if you’re looking at heading to Keswick and climbing Scafell pike only 40mins drive to Seathwaite route. Beautiful home and lovely Hotub! Hosts very responsive to our messages.

Teapot Cottage is a beautiful place to stay. It was very well kitted out, decorated very nicely, and had lots of nice touches to make our stay even better. Lammisa was a great host - very responsive and friendly, and was happy to help whenever needed. There's great local amenities within walking distance, and several local villages and towns within a short drive, including Ennerdale Lake. The place was very comfortable, with plenty of seating indoor and out, with several comfy beds suitable for a group of adults. The only thing to be aware of is that the bedroom with the bunk beds has very little storage space, so if you're staying for a few days and have a large bag/suitcase - you'll need to find somewhere else to put it! Overall - we were all very pleased with this stay and we'd definitely book again in future.

What an amazing place! Susan’s home was lovely and located on a beautiful dairy farm. We were immediately welcome by her cats Lucky and Clover (who we adopted for our stay). Susan was always available to answer our questions and took us on a tour of the farm to meet the cows. The house was about 7 minutes from a great village called cockermouth which had pubs, restaurants and many bakeries. A little further and you are in keswick which is one of the bigger towns. We took a boat from there across derwentwater to the famous Catbells and also took a rowboat out on the lake. We also went for a beautiful walk around buttermere lake and a hike into the borrowdale valley. And we even popped over the border into Scotland. It was an amazing trip and a wonderful place to stay. Thank you Susan!!

The cottage was the perfect base for us to explore the local area & catch up with nearby family. The cottage is well equipped & surrounded by a beautiful landscape. Thank you for a wonderful stay. 💛

Fantastic stay at Midbishopton Cottage. Had a well needed relaxed family weekend away. Lots of lovely walks and days out around, topped off by coming back and relaxing in the hot tub in the evenings surrounded by beautiful scenery. Cottage was very cosy and well equipped. Can’t wait to come back. 😄

Another great week at Hightae

We enjoyed a very comfortable stay at Cleator. The cottage was exactly as described and we had everything we needed. It was easy to find and there was parking outside most days. We wanted a walking holiday and this cottage was perfect - it is right on the famous Wainwright Coast to Coast National Trail (in fact the route is on the pavement outside!) and you can walk back to St Bees or up towards Ennerdale Bridge. You can also walk down to the Ehen river in one minute. We also drove out to walk Scaffel Pike and Haystacks as well as reaching other parts of the C2C towards Grasmere. A drive to Ravensglass is also recommended - it's a beautiful untouched village on the Esk estuary with a narrow gauge railway that takes you up to Eskdale. Thank you to David and Victoria who were extremely welcoming and helpful with a couple of questions that we had whilst there. For great food shopping, we used the Coop at Egremont and Cleator Moor which were both just over a five minute drive away.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. This was our third stay - the cottage is perfect for our family of four plus a dog. Despite some wet weather, we happily filled a week with swims in the loch/play on the boats, lovely walks around the farm tracks, biking at the nearby bike tracks, visiting waterfalls and castles. The cottage had everything we needed, it was very spacious and the lovely log burner kept us cosy on the cool evenings. Joe and Sue were both super helpful hosts, making us feel very welcome, and we would definitely like to stay again.

Absolutely fantastic place. Quiet yet close to pubs etc, several options. We went out one night but decided we just wanted to enjoy the fire etc after a cold day on Scafell Pike, which is close by. Will stay here again next time we are in the area. Just what we wanted.

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!

Carole’s cottage is cosy with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Although we mainly used one lounge, it was good to have the option of the second lounge & made the cottage feel more spacious. Carole’s communication was great from start to finish. We would have no hesitation in booking again if, hopefully, we return to the area, which we love

House comfortable, with a nice atmosphere. There was everything you needed. Beds also very comfortable. Enjoyed sitting in the garden. Really nice place to visit, and a good position for touring round the lakes, and coast. All agree it was a lovely weekend.

Had a lovely few days at Lesley’s cottage. Communication beforehand and during visit was excellent and Lesley even offered an early check in. Cottage was very comfortable, well decorated and spotless. Kitchen was very well appointed, had everything we needed. Very comfortable bed too Letter left from her dogs to our dog was a lovely touch as was the goodies for the dog and also for us! Entrance was through the original garage, space there was an added bonus, like having a huge utility room for jackets, bags and shoes in wet weather! Garden is lovely and private and nicely laid out. Location great, an easy walk to everywhere in Portpatrick Information folder was full of lots of helpful info Would recommend a visit to Glenwhan Gardens, very pretty, well laid out and dog friendly

There was everything we could possibly need in the cottage which is so tastefully furnished including two reclining chairs in the conservatory which is where we spent most of our time. Even on the days it rained we could relax in the conservatory, reading or doing a jigsaw, and unwind. Gina and her husband are very friendly and helpful, making us feel at home. If we could give it six stars we would!

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.

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.

Lovely little cottage, spotless and cosy, garden is a sun trap if you get lucky like we did and stay during good weather days! Ideal location being a short walk to the local pub or drive to the seaside, forest etc. The owner went out of her way to help us with a problem, would definitely come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The position of the cottage was perfect being walking distance from Kirkcudbright while being peaceful. We loved watching the red squirrels from the lounge window. We also had visits from deer and saw lots of bats. Anne was a perfect host and was very friendly and approachable. The only possible downside was the wifi connection which could have been better.

What a lovely, idyllic cottage in a quiet village, at the foot of beautiful hills. Elizabeth was very friendly and fast to respond to any queries I had. We had a slight issue in the bathroom and Elizabeth was over and had it repaired in less than 30 minutes of reporting it. If you like gardens, it may be small, but this cottage has an absolutely beautiful one, if only it had been a bit warmer I would have been out in it every spare minute I was there, also it is just round the corner to Threave Gardens. I would happily stay here again when visiting family locally. Thank you Elizabeth.
