“We had an amazing time at the Quare place.”

The host Wilma is really friendly and lovely and was in contact to check we were okay and answer any questions we had. The minute we arrived we could see how clean and fantastic the property was and fell in love with the place. Spacious, great garden, a stones throw from Southerness lighthouse and the pebble beach and a pub! The cottage contains everything you could need and we were so impressed.

The host Wilma is really friendly and lovely and was in contact to check we were okay and answer any questions we had. The minute we arrived we could see how clean and fantastic the property was and fell in love with the place. Spacious, great garden, a stones throw from Southerness lighthouse and the pebble beach and a pub! The cottage contains everything you could need and we were so impressed. From the top floor you can look out and see gorgeous sea views and it was lovely to sit and have a cuppa on a morning in the garden listening to the sea. Just perfect. I could not recommend this holiday more, it was an ideal base to explore the area and I wish we had more time! You can see from the guest book that the place has frequent revisits and I can see why! We will definatly be back, thanks so much Wilma.

“Peaceful family holiday in a well equipped house”

This house is in a quiet lane in Southerness, which is a very sleepy place despite the large Parkdean holiday park you pass as you enter the settlement. It is 50m or so from the shore, from which you can walk for 4 miles or so in either direction, taking in the amazing Solway coastline. Its not a sunbathing beach, but for long walks and rockpools its brilliant - kids loved it. The house itself is fairly open plan but very spacious. We really appreciated the two living rooms which helped us space out in the evenings! The two larger bedrooms are downstairs with big ensuite shower rooms. The bedrooms upstairs are in the eves so headroom is a bit more restricted and our children chose those rooms. The kitchen is very well equipped for self catering and there is a nespresso coffee machine! There is a large garden at the side of the house which is just grass, but gives a good safe space for children to play. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

“The house would benefit from having black out blinds in the bedrooms, The curtains were light and as sun rise was 4am it made sleeping difficult.”

“We had a lovely week at The Quare Place, starting with a very friendly welcome from the owner.”

The house is very spacious, well kitted out, clean and quiet - and with there only being four of us, we thoroughly enjoyed having a bedroom and bathroom each. It takes about 2-3 minutes to walk to the lighthouse at the beach and from there you can walk several miles in either direction along the beach, which varies from rocky to sandy to slightly muddy (further out). Within a couple of minutes walk there is a small shop and a few places where you can eat or get a takeaway. There were a lot of things to do within easy driving distance including Sandyhills Bay (good for sandcastles, digging big holes etc even in rain and hail), Rockcliffe (nice walk up to a viewing point), Mabie Forest (very pretty mixed forest wood with good walks, the trees also protect you from rain...) and Caerlaverock Castle (triangular castle). We had very mixed weather but when it was sunny, the view across the Solway Firth to the Lake District was lovely. Even when it was chucking it down and somewhat windy, it was still good because you got the whole of a huge, huge beach to yourself (very handy having full waterproofs and wellies). There was also a small swimming pool in the caravan park which we were allowed to use at this time of year - and because it wasn't busy, we had it all to ourselves. Finally, the owner is great: she has gone well out of her way to help me when I accidentally left stuff behind.

“High quality holiday home in a great location”

This is a very high quality holiday rental home. The layout of the house was perfect and, unlike many holiday homes, the kitchen was really well equipped for cooking. The house was warm and the beds were very comfortable. The house is 50m from the sea and is close to the mountain bike trails at Mabie and Dalbeattie.

“The Quare Place is well designed and very spacious, and the ,fittings and appliances are of a very high standard.”

The accommodation is very comfortable, and has good amenities very nearby. Would definitely go back, would recommend to others.
Dr Lee April 2019

“This is an excellent house in a very good location.”

The house is high quality, warm, has comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. The layout is almost perfect although it would benefit from a door between the kitchen and the area in front of the downstairs bedrooms to prevent noise from the kitchen disturbing sleeping children.

“This is the third time we have stayed.”

It's perfect for all our needs and requirements. Spot On

“A QUITE PLACE”

What can you add to what already has been said ,just maybe that it has good wheelchair access into the accommodation and all around the ground floor and ground floor bedrooms for people with mobility problems this is also good.The quare place is expensive but you get what you pay for.We where four adults and two children we all enjoyed our stay at the quare place

“The best self-catering holiday that we've stayed in!”

The Quare Place is a beautiful house and the owners have thought about everything you could need to have a great and restful holiday. The kids had their own en-suite shower room which was great for all of us; the second lounge on the first floor allowed us all to have somewhere for a little peace to read or do yoga which was was great. In all, it was a treat to stay in such a lovely house and wake up each morning and look out to the sea!

“Wow”

This was a very comfortable and well designed house. The kennels for the dogs were an excellent idea we could leave them on there to dry especially as we chose the monsoon season. Cooking facilities excellent with every utensil you could think of.the beds were incredibly comfy and with en suites bar one.a real must go back again.

“More than a home from home.”

We ve just returned from a week staying at this lovely cottage. We were greeted warmly at the door by the lovely Wilma, who even had the kettle on for us as soon as we arrived! I can honestly say that this is the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in- you name it, it was there. The rooms were spotless, beautifully decorated throughout, our two elderly relatives were very comfortable in their downstairs en suite rooms, and the upstairs lounge proved invaluable when there was football on the television, and not everybody wanted to watch it! The immediate area is not as great as the cottage, but there are some lovely places to visit by car, and the Quare Place is the ideal place to base yourselves, especially if your group has a wide age range. We have been taking our elderly relatives away for the last five years, and I can honestly say that this is the best accommodation we have stayed in by far.

“Fabulous!”

We spent a week in October with 3 generations and this house had something for us all. Lots of indoor and outdoor space, kids loved playing outside and tiring out their grandparents! House was immaculate on arrival and we were greeted personally and shown around by the owner which makes such a difference. Loved the fact we all had our own shower/bathrooms and the house was just massive! Beach was lovely and great for walking/kiting/climbing over rocks and searching rock pools. Only tiny downside is it is a bit of a drive to food shops as the local one was winding down for winter and only had a very few basics left & we weren't as organised as normal with Tesco order! Am sure this wouldn't be a problem in high season.

“The Quare place , Southerness”

The Quare Place is excellent accomidation, 5 star with all your needs catered for,ideally situated near the beach, safe enviorrment for children with lots of space to play in. The Quare Place had everything we needed for our stay, excellent accomodation very spacious, tastefully decorated , very clean, everything you needed in the kitchen was available for you.

“Faultless”

Stayed here 29th Dec - 5th Jan 2013. We had a fantastic stay here and could not fault The Quare Place. The welcome we got from the owners was excellent, very knowledgeable about the area and couldn't do enough to help us. They have thought about absolutely everything with this property even down to having cafetiere's available along with every concievable kithen utensil you will ever need. Dogs are allowed downstairs and we had a baby gate that stopped them going up, they were quite happy downstairs as there is underflooor heating which they seemed to appreciate. There is a pub 200 mts away which has everything you'd expect althjough was very quiet (which we liked) at that time of year. The beach is great for walks and there are many fantastic golf courses in the area. The house is decorated to a high standard and there are plently of bathrooms, 3 of them en-suite. There is a great lounge room upstairs if you have kids, or for us so the blokes could play Fifa against each other. Outside there are washing facilities, and kennels in the garage if needed which was a great idea. The garden would be lovely in the summer too. Overall, I could not rate this place highly enough. The price was excellent and the standard too. Thank-you.

“Beautiful, all and more than we expected”

What a lovely place and such a very pleasant surprise. Not the nicest area of Dumfries, but the accommodation more than made up for that. What more can I say than 15/10 for the accommodation. I had recently had spinal surgery, I found the lounge furniture a bit uncomfortable, the couches could do with updating to achieve the standard of everything else in the accommodation

About the location

SOUTHERNESS

Castle Douglas 19 miles; Dalbeattie 13 miles; Dumfries 16 miles.

Southerness is a small coastal village established in the late 18th century, which looks out over the Solway Firth, and forms part of the Colvend coast, one of the finest stretches of coastline on the 'Scottish Riviera'. Home to two pubs, a village store, a leisure centre with a pool and two miles of sandy beaches with sand dunes, rock pools and Gulf Stream warmed waters, and one of the oldest lighthouses in Scotland, built in 1748, it has everything you will need for a relaxing holiday. The nearby Criffel Hill rises to 569m, offers wonderful views of the farmland and the sands of the Nith Estuary below, and provides great walking opportunities. The Southerness Championship Golf Course adjoins the village and offers panoramic views of the Solway Firth, the Cumbrian Lake District to the south and the Galloway Hills to the west. A great location, with something to keep everybody occupied.
