Our places in Dalbeattie
Nine places are listed in Dalbeattie, and most are family-sized lodges with three bedrooms. Several sleep six, one sleeps eight, and a few smaller ones sleep four. The usual night is fairly close to the middle of the range, but the cheapest place is well below it and the dearest is several times higher. Dog friendly and pets on request appear throughout, so travelling with a dog rarely narrows your choice. If you are comparing with nearby towns, the cheapest night here is higher than in Castle Douglas or Dumfries, which have more places to choose from.
A family or a small group of up to 6 people will find enough room here. Kipplochan is a detached three-bedroom chalet of 1000 sq ft, all on the ground floor.
Dalbeattie sits in the Dumfries and Galloway countryside, and the lodges here suit families and groups with dogs more than couples after a hot tub weekend. Most places sleep five or six, with three bedrooms, and the biggest takes eight. Every place accepts pets in some form, either as dog friendly or on request, which is unusual enough to mention.
Prices are uneven. Most of the larger lodges cost about the same each night, while the smaller two-bedroom places for four are dearer, and the one with a hot tub is the dearest of all. Guest ratings are high, around 9 out of 10. Log burners turn up in a little under half of the places, so a cold-season break with a fire is realistic. Hot tubs are rare, so if one matters to you, book early and expect to pay more for it.
Features
A garden is the most common feature, found at about three in four places, and those places are usually priced close to the town as a whole. Log burners and high chairs each appear at four of the nine, and log burner places are noticeably dearer. BBQs are found at two places and tend to sit at the cheaper end. Fishing is offered at two places, which cost more than most. Only one place has a hot tub, and it is the dearest in town. One lake view place and one with a children's play area are also listed, and both are among the cheaper stays.

By number of guests
Group size changes the cost more than you might expect. Places sleeping five or six are the cheapest per person by a wide margin, since they cost much less a night than the smaller places and split the bill between more people. Several of these smaller places carry extras such as a log burner or a hot tub, which explains part of the gap. If you are a couple or a small family and want to keep costs down, a larger lodge can work out cheaper than a compact one.
Prices are steady from November through to April, with only small changes. December is the dearest month, which fits the Christmas and New Year demand. November and April are the cheapest, with January, February and March sitting in between. Availability varies more than price. December has the fewest free nights, while January has the most, followed by March and February. For a quiet midweek break at a usual rate, January and March leave the most choice of dates.
