We recently stayed here with my partner and our two dogsand honestly, we loved it! The location is stunning, right by the seaand the place feels really high-quality and safe for pets. The kitchen had everything we neededand the welcome pack with wine and treats was a lovely touch. We enjoyed the walks right outside and the hot tub was a real bonus. The only tiny gripe was the shower’s low water flow, but overall, we’re definitely coming back!

We really enjoyed our stay! The cottage was beautifully decorated and had all the essentials we needed. The big windows offering a lovely sea view were a highlightand the outside seating area was perfect, especially at night with the colourful ceiling lights - such a clever touch. It was a bit chilly, but a jumper and blanket did the trick. Our dog Alfie loved sitting outside with us, thanks to the secure enclosed area. Overall, a fantastic little getaway!

The lodge was lovely and super cosy, perfect for some real peace and quiet. It’s pretty remote, so having a car is a must. The owner was really friendly and helpful too!

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.

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

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...
