Guests say
Primrose Cottage in Rockcliffe is highly praised for its cleanliness, superb location near the beach, and cosy atmosphere. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities and the helpfulness of the owner. While some minor issues with comfort and maintenance are noted, such as creaky beds and uncomfortable sofas, the overall sentiment is positive with many guests planning return visits.
The cottage is consistently described as clean and tidy, with several reviews highlighting its spotless condition. A few minor points regarding cobwebs and dust are mentioned, but these do not detract significantly from the overall high standards of cleanliness.
The location is frequently lauded, with the beach being a stone's throw away and the presence of beautiful walks and a quiet setting. The ability to hear the sea at night adds to the charm, making the location almost universally appreciated.
While many guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, there are several mentions of uncomfortable sofas and a cold twin room. The comfort of the living space is noted as an area for improvement, though the positive aspects still shine through.
The cottage is well-equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, and additional amenities like a utility area. Some guests mention excellent facilities, but others note issues with hot water, heating, and uncomfortable furniture, suggesting room for maintenance improvements.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the owner, so it is not possible to assess this category. As such, the score is set to null.

A great getaway with everything you need to have a good time. Cottage was very clean and tidy with some nice places to visit nearby. We can recommend the RED KITE feeding station near Dalbeattie

This was a return visit so we knew what to expect. Can't fault Primrose Cottage - perfect location for the beach and walks for granddaughter, dog and us. Loved the changes made since our last visit. The seperate washroom is ideal for rinsing wetsuits and the tap by the back door meant that sandy feet could be cleaned before going indoors. It's a small cottage and kitchen / eating space is limited so inevitably finding room for everything is a bit of a challenge - but after all it's a holiday so who cares? Nice seating area outside at the front to catch the evening sun - and we were lucky - there was plenty of that. Parking is definitely a big bonus. We hope to return next year so that pretty much sums it up.

This cottage was recommended by a friend. It did not disappoint, excellent location , no traffic and so very quiet , beautiful scenery too. Rockcliffe beach a stones throw away ! Primrose cottage was well equipped , it had wonderful ,comfortable beds ! The garden was safe for our dog to wander about . Handy hose and outhouse to swill mucky paws and sandy feet ! The owner was on hand to check in and swap bedding and towels . Wonderful first time in Scotland , certainly not the last ! Thankyou !
