Midkelton Holiday Rental

26/05/2026

This weekend, I was lucky enough to be a guest of the Midkelton guests..and a more glamorous and generous bunch you will struggle to find! The 5th visit to Midkelton for this lovely family..an extension of our family.. and an annual 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 v 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 rounders match..it all topped off a excellent day after the Kirkcudbright half marathon.. all showing Dumfries and Galloway at its very best!

How do you allocate bedrooms when you go on holiday?
I love how last weekends guests allocated the rooms. Very cute..and even coordinated it with the room colours!

Last night some friends and I booked a slot at Sauna at the Dee..one of the saunas offered by Sauna at the Sea. It’s just a five minute drive from Midkelton and in amongst a lovely setting- we chatted for an hour in the heat whilst overlooking the river Dee and taking an odd dip in the cold tub (my friends are braver than me and could stay in longer than I could). Very rustic (we went wearing our suits but there is a small outdoor changing area) but that added to the charm. Around £10 per person for an hour- so a nice way to spend some time together
