  We all had a great holiday in a lovely clean, bright + roomy bungalow in a very peaceful setting. Very well appointed. Being such a bright house, would perhaps recommend an eye mask, (if very early morning light bothers you) as the window blinds in the bedrooms aren't enough to fully darken the room on sunny mornings. Having had lovely weather, the spacious decking at the front made for a very comfortable + relaxing space, with beautiful views. We took advantage of the inclusive golfing offer at the nearby Colvend Golf Club. A very well maintained course, with pleasant challenges + amazing views. As mentioned in previous reviews, the entrance gate is a little narrow. We had a Hyundai Tuscon + had about 2-3 inches clear either side. Rockcliffe is a lovely little village, with scenic walks, including one to the nearby village of Kippford, where there are a couple of eateries and coffee shop. Would definitely recommend Firpoint as a holiday rental, we will certainly be back.

  When booking a holiday house, you can never be too sure what you are going to find and if the house will look anything like the photos.

  Collieston cottage is a real gem and exceeded our expectations. The location and views are absolutely gorgeous. The actual cottage was well presented, clean, welcoming and cosy. The doggy welcome basket was great and the selection of shortbread biscuits were a great welcome treat for everyone. Although it is a working farm, the cows and sheep didn't bother us and the children loved seeing the animals in the fields close to the cottage. The upstairs lounge/bedroom area were great for the older children as they loved have their own space. The hot tub was great and the views from the hot tub was amazing. Last but not least, the owners were lovely too. Although they are around on the farm, they are not intrusive at all and it was lovely talking to them. We normally don't like going back to the same place more than once as we like exploring different places, but Collieston cottage might have changed our minds.

  Fantastic stay.

  The cottage itself was one of the most well equipped cottages we have stayed in. Everything was supplied that would be needed. It was like staying in your own home. All the welcome packages were a lovely touch and it is these little things which make the difference. This was a family holiday although all members were adults. The wi-fi was the best we have every experienced whilst being away and all four of us were able to check in and use all of our devices at the same time. Quite remote which is what we had wanted. The hot tub was fantastic and the views wonderful despite a full week of typical Scottish rainy weather (which we were also prepared for). We would definitely recommend this cottage and would definitely consider booking up again next year! It was also nice for the owners to check in with us half way through our stay to ensure everything was okay.

  Cleanliness was superficial in places and things like the oven needed a good clean to be useable. Water pressure for showers could be better. There were no instructions with the central hearing and hot water system which was not working when we arrived and required a phone call from a plumber to rectify the following day although the owner did attend to this very quickly. The mattress in the small double bedroom was most uncomfortable as were the settees. There is an annoying buzz in the hall and twin bedroom seemingly in the roof space. Otherwise the property was well equipped and in a lovely setting with all utensils etc. that we needed. We would have liked more information in the online write up about the TV arrangements and would probably not have booked the property if we had known that all it provided was freeview (ie no DVD player or other TV options).

  Our Second stay in Collieston Cottage and we enjoyed it just as much.

  It’s Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The owners give you total privacy but are easy to contact if needed. Even though we’ve stayed before We filled our week with new things to see and do. Great location if you’re wanting to see Dumfries, but want a peaceful cottage to relax in at night. The views are fantastic and the hot tub is a real treat. The cottage is bigger than it looks on the photos and you have to see it to realise how beautiful the setting is. The children loved seeing the lambs in the fields outside the cottage too. It really is one of the best cottages we’ve stayed in and we’ve stayed in many cottages. 11/10
