Grey Rocks is a large modern house reminiscent of a high end Florida vacation home. It is extremely well equipped with the under floor heating providing a warm and comfortable ambiance The views across the Urr estuary are breathtaking and are for ever changing depending upon the light, tide and time of day .I have no hesitation in recommending this holiday home.

A stunning and enjoyable house; all seven of us that stayed agreed we should come back. The kitchen/diner and the balcony have superb views over Kippford, the estuary and surrounding hills. The entrance hall/boot space ideal for a walking holiday. The kitchen seems to lack for nothing and the bedrooms are much more spacious than most holiday lets and therefore with more wardrobe space and room to move about.A great place to stay to enjoy kippford and the surrounding area

A lovely place to stay. The view was amazing. Everything you could need in the kitchen. More than enough room for three families without being on top of each other. More than enough fridge and freezer capacity. All the appliances you need. The garden was very big but not fully enclosed so you do have to watch both little ones and dogs. The patio area is great and there was plenty of parking for 3+ cars.
