Please find below a selection of self-catering holiday cottages
to rent near Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
This fascinating corner of Scotland is perfect for a Dumfries
and Galloway cottage holiday and there's something for
everyone, whether you're planning a romantic escape or an
action-packed family holiday.
Natural attractions abound, with over 200 miles of breathtaking
coastline and a landscape of mountains, lochs, moorland and rivers;
while a rare, mild climate brings palm trees to the coast and
botanical gardens inland.
Visit Galloway Forest Park for close encounters with red
squirrels and magnificent birds of prey. Enjoy leisurely walks
along beaches; or more demanding treks across cliff-tops, up
mountains or along the Southern Upland, Scotland's longest
walking route. Cycling is also popular, with quiet country lanes
and plenty of off-road trails. For adrenalin-pumping thrills, try
abseiling or mountain climbing; or more relaxing options such as
golf, or a day's fishing out at sea where you may catch a
glimpse of the Lake District, even Ireland. Rock pooling, horse
riding, go-karting, quad biking - endless hours of fun for children
too.
Interested in art? As well as its scenic splendour, the region
is renowned for its light and many artists and craftsmen live here.
Make time to explore Kirkcudbright, a colourful harbour-front town
awash with galleries and studios. Or step back in time at a
medieval castle, abbey or ancient stone circle - there are lots of
historical sites.
Or perhaps you're planning to tie the knot at one of the
world's most popular wedding venues, Gretna Green?
There are all kinds of reasons to choose a Dumfries and Galloway
holiday cottage.
