  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.

  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).

  Broomlands fully met our expectations, the interior design, the spacious rooms all with en suites was ideal for our party. The downstairs bedroom with the en suite was particularly useful for the oldest member of our party. The house was very comfortable and well equipped with plenty of parking. The exterior and grounds could do with a makeover but this should not put you off this great house. 5 minutes in the car to nearby Moffat and half a mile walk to the Old Stables Inn. Great walk at the Grey Mare’s tail which is approx 10 miles away, others visited the outlets at Gretna; Moffat has all you need and some different independent shops. If you are having a family reunion or similar then this place is ideal and only just over an hour from Glasgow.

  Marie gave us a warm welcome and had provided lots of thoughtful touches such as delicious homemade wheaten bread and rocky road, local cheese and Arran toiletries.

  The house itself is immaculate and beautifully decorated and furnished. All the rooms are spacious but very cosy. The views across the sea, to the light house and over to Ireland and Kintyre are magnificent. Being surrounded by the grazing animals added to the feeling of being in the heart of the countryside. Everyone we met was very friendly and kind. We stayed relaxing at the house for much of the time because we felt so at home. Other days we played golf and visited the pretty seaside village of Portpatrick. Had a wonderful afternoon on the stunning Lady Bay beach which is close by. Fabulous scenery and wildlife all over the area. Cannot recommend this property highly enough if you want super accommodation in a relaxing and peaceful setting.

  Our first impressions when we walked through the door were “what a beautiful house”.

  Very spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean, bedding was fresh and crisp, very well equipped kitchen and the whole property was cosy and warm. The views are amazing and change every day depending on the weather with plenty of walks from the door. The friendly owner sorted out a couple of minor problems we had straight away which was much appreciated. They left a very generous welcome pack for us including; cheese, wine, butter, milk, pickle, Irish bread and fresh flowers. Lots of information for the local area was provided. The property is remote making it quiet and peaceful but you can’t just pop to the shop if you forget something, so you need a good memory (or shopping list!)
