Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, stunning views, and the property's proximity to local attractions and beaches. The spacious garden and secure area for pets are also highlighted as positives. While some minor maintenance issues and comfort concerns with a mattress are noted, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The cottage is consistently described as very clean, with multiple reviews affirming its spotlessness. One isolated incident with mice is mentioned, but it does not seem to be a recurring problem.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views, proximity to beaches, and local walks. It is considered ideal by guests for exploring the surrounding area and enjoying the natural beauty.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, with mentions of comfortable beds and sofas. However, there are a few comments about a mattress needing replacement and one guest experiencing backache, slightly lowering the score.
Facilities are deemed well-equipped and adequate for a pleasant stay. Some maintenance issues are noted, such as the need for wardrobe space and a tired appearance in places, indicating room for improvement.

Family holiday accommodation in a quiet location in the popular seaside village of Rockcliffe. The house has excellent views over the Rough Firth and it is just over half a mile walk to the bay with its attractive sandy beach. There is easy access from the house to cliff top and forest walks including the Jubilee Path to Kippford.
Within a short drive are the wonderful sandy beaches of Sandyhills and Southerness and the popular sailing village of Kippford which has two pubs both of which serve food. The house is an ideal base for a holiday in this area. Sporting facilities abound, there are bird and wildlife reserves at WWT Caerlaverock and rspb at Mersehead both only a short drive away. For the golfer, there is an 18 hole golf course at Colvend (three minutes by car) and the championship links course at Southerness, with many others nearby. Mabie Forest, within half an hour drive, has extensive forest trails, an adventure playground for children and forms one of the stages of the 7Stanes mountain bike network. Further 7stanes trailheads can be found in Dalbeattie Forest (about 5 minutes' drive away), and further afield in The Galloway Forest Park at Kirroughtree and Glentrool.
