Excellent location and spectacular views. Warm and comfortable cottage. Cleanliness and equipment average and could perhaps do with some improvements.

Blissful location, peaceful and tranquil. The bay is empty most days, we had it mostly to ourselves. There was a lovely welcome pack waiting for us too, which was a nice touch. Love the cottage, plenty of space and has everything you need.

Cottage is lovely and in a great spot - access to a beach and to coastal walks. I did take the dog but in places kept him on the lead - cliffs were very steep and also there were some fields with cows/sheep. Lots of places to visit in the car - Kippford is lovely - great walk from there to Rockcliffe.Community shop nearby which was lovely; great homemade treats as well as basic supplies. Was able to take our dog into the shop which was great as we had walked there.We did book a meal at nearby hotel but changed our minds as very little in way of Veggie options; did have coffee and cake one afternoon; very welcome.
