Amazing holiday home at Rascarrel. The property was so well equipped, clean and cosy. We cannot fault anything, and were very sad to leave. The correspondence throughout was excellent. Spacious but not cold, towels and robes, hot tub checked daily and a real treat with a sea view. Thanks for your hard work keeping this home so beautiful.

Our immediate reaction was wow! The lodge was completely equipped with everything we needed for our self catering holiday.

We had a wonderful stay, it was exactly what we wanted and needed to recharge our batteries with some rest and relaxation. The lodge was spotlessly clean and very well maintained.

Overall a lovely r elaxing experience.

Absolutely fantastic week at Rascarrel Bay and so very dog friendly too. The lodge had all that we needed for a super relaxing break but you do need a car to get around. A lovely walk right in front of lodge for Toby where he could run free. Everything was perfect and a beautiful part of the country to visit where everyone was friendly towards us a nd our dog.

The lodge was excellently placed for on the spot walks and also many walks in the surrounding area. The views were excellent and we were blessed with lovely wall to wall sunshine for our weeks stay. The lodge was very safe for our 2 dogs as the patio is completely secure would recommend to any dog owners and there is plenty of green areas to take y our dogs for a walk. Hot tub was lovely and positioned to enjoy the view.

Exceptional accommodation in a beautiful location. The lodge was kitted out to a high standard , very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We thoroughly enjoyed looking at the sea from the comfort of the hot tub. The welcome treats for us and the dog were a lovely surprise too. Nice walk to Balcarry Bay from the door. Highly recommended this accommoda tion.

A beautiful, peaceful location - we never tired of watching the light change over the Solway Firth. The cottage is well-equipped, clean and comfortable and was the perfect base for a week exploring an unexpectedly lovely corner of Scotland. Would not hesitate to recommend to others, and would love to return at some point.

Castle Douglas - DG7 1TJ
about 8 Miles
We also recommend a visit to Castle Douglas and the Treasure Hunt Treasure Trails. These treasure hunts are great fun for the whole family and are an entertaining way to explore a new town or village. Children will enjoy solving the clues whilst learning about the history of the area. The walking trail is suitable for wheelchair users and those with pushchairs so no one is left out of the fun.
Laggan Outdoor - DG7 3NQ

An outdoor activity center suitable for families. Featuring one of Europe's longest zip wires, jeep driving, grass sledging, archery, outdoor scooters. A mix of fun and adreneline rides and a lot more.

Mabie Farm Park - DG2 8EZ
about 17 Miles
Mabie Farm Park is a firm favourite. Ideal for families with younger children ,this family oriented farm park has lots of animals to meet and also offers Donkey Rides, Paddle Boats and Slides as well as Trampolines and Bouncy Castles. Kids can run around on the Soft Play Area while mum and dad relax in the Tea Room. There is also a Farm Shop onsite selling toys, gifts and fresh local produce including cakes and jams. Seasonal activities can also be enjoyed including a spookly tea and walk on Haloween. The Farm closes for the winter on October 31st.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 27 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
