A well equipped house in a peaceful and lovely location with bright stars, owls and curlews, and walks from the door to the shore or into the woods.

Fairview is a spacious well equipped comfortable home in Rockcliffe with lovely views of the bay which is a 2 minute walk from the property. Visitors need a car to get around as the village has no shops. There is a lovely forest walk from the house to the next village of Kipford which takes about 35 mins. A very relaxing holiday with beautiful scenery.
