“The house suited our needs exactly, ...”

The house suited our needs exactly, we had a 89 and 87 year old in our party and the downstairs bedroom was perfect, also plenty of parking, close to beach and pub for meals. Plenty of hot water, huge fridge, good table to sit at for cards and games. We have booked several cottages with Sykes but think this is the best for our needs so far. Only drawback for returning is that they are no longer accepting dogs, although ours seldom went in the house. It is hard to find 4 bedroomed properties with 4 bathrooms for 4 couples,

“We all loved our holiday, it was ...”

We all loved our holiday, it was great for everyone including the children and the grandparents. It was in a lovely spot with a nice pub nearby that serves fantastic food and it wasn't far to go to visit some places. We would recommend the house and the place to anyone and will be going back.

“The Quare Place is an excellent ...”

The Quare Place is an excellent property, situated in a lovely coastal village within minutes of a beautiful rugged coastline. The standard of the property is excellent with high quality furnishings and fittings throughout. The owners are the perfect hosts; friendly, welcoming and professional. I would most certainly recommend this property to other travellers.

“The property was very peaceful and ...”

The property was very peaceful and secluded and of a very high standard. Southerness is in a very quite part of the region and is a good base to explore from, Kippford further down the coast is well worth a visit. The owner of the property came to greet us and made sure everything was OK. A lovely personal touch. Thank you.

“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”

Fanatastic Holiday for the whole of my family, including my two dogs. We wre greeted by the owner who made us feel very welcome when we arrived. 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. The dogs had their own living quarters, their kennels (a great idea) I will be booking another holiday next year at The Quare place and would no hesitation in reccommending this 5 Star holiday home.

“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.
