  The cottage is in a superb location in Rockcliffe. 2 parts to the garden. The second area of garden accessed by a gate from the private road just opposite the house, goes right onto the beach. Our young dog just loved it and we always cleaned up after him,there are bins for dog poo bags located along the 'main' roadway inthe village. It is all very clean, people really care to keep the area beautiful.There are so many intersting walks from the house in all directions, with hiden places to tae a seat and watch the seabirds and rocks in the bay, and the Garden Cafe up the hill is just a 5 minute stroll and you can get delicious home made cakes to take back to the cottage if you do not want to sit out in their garden. under their apple tree.It is not a sit in cafe, but a must visit. The house is very spacious a large well equipped kitchen and utility room , even a freezer in the garage for ice creams etc.The consevatory is lovely as it looks over the front garden and onto the bay. It was a treat to sit in the lounge if the weather was a bit dodgy with the log burning stove on and it really keeps the place extra warm.There are books and hgames too to enjoy and maps of the arera to explore.The downstairs shower was the best we have ever experienced and we have stayed in many places all over Scotland.The bedrooms are spacious.Red squirrels and plenty wild birds visit the garden feeders, a joy to watch and there is a supply of bird foods in the garage to keep the feeders topped up and it adds to the homely experience of Calluna Cottage.We just wish we had the time to stay longer. An excellent home from home on the Scottish Riviera. Enjoy!

  What a stunning place!

  Stayed here for a week in September 2021, this had been postponed from March 2021 due to the pandemic! Trip up from Glasgow was lovely and very scenic, but please note this is a secluded house, which was what we wanted, roads are fine until the last wee bit which is a dirt track through a farm. The farmer is so nice and friendly too. Anyway, the house has everything, comfort, luxury, views, peace and quiet and an abundance of wildlife. We were a family of 5 adults plus a dog and you can definitely have your own space in this property. The walks are lovely round the property. The kitchen and main living space were my favorite and it is a lovely place to be sitting watching the pheasants and red kites go by with your morning coffee. One thing to remember is a torch as it is very dark there at night. The cleanliness of the house was exceptional, the handbook and instructions for all the appliances was incredible too, they have thought of everything, We also had to make an emergency visit to the vet whilst staying here and guess what they have thought of this too and gave several vets numbers in the information pack, Fantastic. The laundry/boiler room has all the equipment you need and more. If you do visit this property, be sure to visit The Drovers for a meal (dog friendly in the bar) and the Redwings Mountains Sanctuary (also dog friendly) close by. Two lovely places to spend your time. Will hopefully be back again in the near future.

  Calluna is a lovely property in Rockcliffe, situated off the main road but with easy access to the property by car or on foot. The private road whereon several houses are situated provides a pleasant and easy walking experience for those with mobility issues and is very accessible for those requiring wheelchair assistance out doors. The property has a lovely aura of peacefulness and nature; the garden being extremely well stocked with various trees and bushes. The kitchen is reasonably equipped with basic functional oven and affords a comfortable dining experience around the large table. Downstairs bathroom is well equipped for those with mobility issues, though the beds in the bedroom across from that bathroom are not particularly comfy . . . (in my opinion) more suited for children than adults with mobility issues. The beds in the upstairs twin room are similar but the double bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable. My elderly mum, who walks with a stick, chose to use this room rather than the downstairs bedroom. Thankfully mum was able to negotiate the stairs with the use of her stick and assistance of one person. The property is as described and I am happy to recommend it. The comments made in the 'guest book' indicate the satisfaction of other guests regarding their stay there.

  Glen Cruick is quite possibly the most perfect holiday cottage we've ever stayed at.

  It's a real home away from home. THANK YOU! The photos are accurate, it actually is that beautiful. The house is immaculate and well catered. The number of walks from the door kept us busy all week, the dogs loved it! I'd love to visit again in the spring or summer...or both! If you're thinking about booking, let me tell you why you should: 1. Great for dogs - spacious fully enclosed garden and a myriad of fantastic walks from the doorstep. 2. Secluded - happily had a cuppa in my dressing gown outside in the morning. 3. Laundry facilities - are brilliant and everything dries in super quick time in the boiler room. I could have packed much lighter! 4. WiFi - decent WiFi for where it is, no bother using Netflix and BBC iPlayer on the TV. Though there is an extensive DVD collection too. 5. Remote but accessible - only a short drive to the A90 making it easy to get to shops and local attractions, but far enough in to the country to feel cut off from the world (in a good way!) 6. Hosts - info provided before the trip was exceptional. Directions to the property are spot on and easy to follow. Book today - you will not be disappointed!

  We were extremely disappointed in our cottage on arrival.

  The advertisement said that it sleeps 6. Which it has enough beds for 6 and 2 bathrooms, however the sitting area and table does not accommodate a family of 6. The dining area chairs are right in front of the doors to a bedroom and makes it too hard to move, the sitting area barely seats 4, and makes it tight to walk. The cottage had cob webs, the show screen had mold and the outside table was moldy. The cottage was overpriced. At the price advertised, we expected a clean and suitably sized cottage, this was not the case at all. There wasn't even paper towel and we needed to request an extra dish cloth and tea towel. The freezer made a beeping noise if you used it, and one of the stove burners didn't work. The cottage is located on a kennel / working farm and while we were there our room backed onto the area where they were working, you could here dogs barking, people working and machinery from all times during the early morning and day. The pool was nice, however we were not provided with any extra towels. I would not recommend this cottage to anyone.
