It's ideal for family holidays, with spacious rooms and thoughtful touches like dog wash facilities.

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.

Great location near the beach and very well equipped. We found the mattress far too soft, however.

We had an amazing family holiday at Fairview. The house is lovely, very comfortable, well equipped and spacious enough for 6 adults, 3 young children and 2 dogs. The bedrooms are all of a good size and the separate sitting and dining rooms gave us plenty of space for the numerous toys! The dog wash facilities are great and the added touch of dog towels are a very thoughtful feature. We would love to return to Fairview but unfortunately this is the last year the youngest will be in a travel cot.
