Munro Cottage in Rockcliffe is highly praised for its spaciousness, comfort, and stunning sea views. Guests appreciate its well-equipped facilities, ideal for families and pets, and its proximity to the beach. The cottage's idyllic location in an unspoilt village adds to its charm, with many guests eager to return. While most reviews are positive, a few mention cleanliness issues, suggesting room for improvement.
Most guests found the cottage to be a lovely family property, but one review mentioned cleanliness concerns such as dog hair and dust. This suggests that while generally clean, there is some inconsistency in the standard of cleanliness.
The location is consistently lauded for its beauty, proximity to the beach, and the unspoilt nature of Rockcliffe. Guests are enchanted by the views and the village, contributing to a high score for location.
Guests describe the cottage as comfortable, with good beds and plenty of room for families and dogs. The repeated mentions of comfort and the desire to rebook indicate a high level of satisfaction in this category.
The cottage is praised for being well-equipped with cooking equipment and having plenty of space. However, one review suggested that the garden requires attention, and another missed the old-style deck chairs, indicating slight room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owner. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

The main living rooms along with most of the bedrooms all have sea views and the traditional construction makes it a light and airy house with good sized rooms ensuring space for all, even for larger groups. The separate Dining room makes a comfortable space for special parties while the spacious layout of the kitchen includes a dining and family seating area for relaxed living. The sitting room’s bay window makes a lovely spot from which to enjoy the view over the sandy cove while the wood burning stove makes it snug and cosy in winter after a day out exploring the local area.
The cottage makes a perfect base for family beach holidays, with walks through the near by wild flower meadows and woodland managed by the National Trust for Scotland. These walks take you over the hill to the “sister” village of Kippford which is a popular and busy sailing and water sports centre with two hotels and a tea room all making excellent stops for refreshments before you return home. Nearby, Colvend has a general store and tea room, more facilities can be found in ‘The Granite Town’ of Dalbeattie, 7 miles away.
The beautiful Solway Coast offers spectacular scenery and wildlife, with a bird sanctuary on Rough Island, accessible at low tide and the rspb Reserve at Mersehead, a short drive away. Local leisure facilities include sailing in the neighbouring village of Kippford and golf courses at Colvend, Southerness, Kippford and Dalbeattie. ‘World-class’ mountain-biking opportunities (7 Stanes) and walks are popular in the nearby Dalbeattie forest.
Munro Cottage is the left side of the pair of semi detached cottages and the adjoining Albany Cottage can be taken so that larger groups may be together in one location.
