Our places in Kippford

There are 8 places in Kippford, which is a small choice compared with Castle Douglas or Dumfries nearby. Six of the eight sleep six or more, and several are three-bedroom lodges that suit two families sharing. Two are one-bedroom places for four guests, which is the better fit for a couple with children or two couples. Most of the stays with a hot tub cost clearly more than the ones without. With so few places, availability on a given weekend can run out quickly.

Kippford is a small sailing village on the Solway coast of Dumfries and Galloway, and the lodges here suit families and groups more than couples. Most places sleep five or six, with three bedrooms, and the largest takes 8 guests. Rating scores are high, around 9.5 out of 10.

Prices sit at the upper end for a short break, with a typical night costing noticeably more than in the nearby towns inland. The range is wide, though. The cheapest nights are about a third of the dearest ones, and the gap mostly follows hot tubs and log burners. Around 62% of places take dogs and the same share has a log burner. Hot tubs are in about 38%, and a sauna is rarer, in only one place. A week costs far more in winter than at other times of year, so a mid-week or weekend stay is the easier way to keep the cost down.

Features

A garden is the most common feature, in six of the eight places, followed by a log burner and a high chair, each in five. Hot tubs are in three places and cost about the same as the typical stay, so they are not always the dearest option. The sauna is in only one place, and that place is cheaper than the typical night, so a sauna does not always mean a high price. Fishing is listed at two places, and these are dearer than the usual night. A BBQ is in two places, and a children's play area in one. If you travel with a dog, check the dog friendly label first, as it applies to most places here.

By number of guests

Sleeps 5-6 is the main group in Kippford, with five places, each with three bedrooms. The usual price for two adults is the same as the usual night across the village, which shows how much this size dominates the choice. Split between six guests, the cost per person comes out well below what a couple would pay for the same place. That makes these lodges good value for families and friends, but less so for two people. If you are a pair, the one-bedroom places for four give you a smaller bill. The 8-guest place is the only option for larger groups.

Prices month by month

November is the cheapest month shown, with a usual night clearly below the rest. December and January are mid-range, and January has the most free dates. February is the dearest, followed closely by April and March. Prices climb as winter turns to spring, which is the reverse of what many people expect. Winter weeks cost much more than weeks in other seasons, so a few nights often work out better than a full week. If you want the best choice of dates, look at January, March or April. November has the fewest free dates, so book early.
