Treat your family and pet to a rural Scottish stay at this pretty holiday home, located on a farm in Dumfries and Galloway. You can watch a collie dog herd sheep, feed cute lambs in spring, and soak up outstanding views. The area is renowned for its beautiful landscapes and outdoor activities, with plenty of pretty urban spots, too, such as the picturesque Portpatrick harbour (8 miles). With space for four humans and one canine guest, this property works well for a small family or two couples enjoying a break together.

This stylish cottage features a spacious open-plan living area, its large windows letting in plenty of natural light and providing beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Prepare home-cooked meals in the Aga-equipped kitchen – then sit down to enjoy them in the comfortable dining area. The welcoming lounge area is ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration. As your weary pet sprawls out on the rug, you can relax into a film on the Smart TV. In warm weather, the roomy garden comes into its own, with its decked area with and comfortable rattan chairs. Children and dogs can play on the large lawn while the adults soak up the stunning views and sizzle up a shared feast on the BBQ. A games room and gym area are the icing on the cake, offering entertainment and exercise for your group.

You’ll be in a deliciously remote spot 2 miles from the nearest pub and shop. At the stunning Dally Bay (6 miles), there’s a beautiful sandy beach where your pet can run free as a kite as you keep an eye out for porpoises and dolphins. For a picturesque walk, head to Stranraer (7 miles) and join the coastal path around Loch Ryan, which extends all the way up to Glenapp Church (18 miles). Dunskey Castle is another fascinating spot you can enjoy with your pet, with atmospheric 12th-century ruins and panoramic sea views.

We had a lovely holiday, in an idyllic, peaceful position. The cottage was exactly as described on the site. Although it was a working farm, and haymaking time, we were not disturbed by anything, in fact enjoyed watching the farmers.

Absolutely fabulous. The cottage is beautifully set out, well equipped, comfortable, very clean, and in a lovely location. Sadly my daughter and I had to leave early due to a family issue, but we would love to return later in the year. A wonderful host, and the 2 mischievous border collies were very entertaining. A truly amazing place.
