Guests say
Colbeine in Rockcliffe is highly praised for its stunning location, beautiful views, and overall comfort. Guests appreciate the property's cleanliness and the peaceful village setting, ideal for walks and relaxation. The house is described as a home away from home, perfect for both families and dogs.
The majority of guests found Colbeine to be spotlessly clean, contributing to a comfortable and relaxing environment. One review mentioned dated sanitary ware, but this did not detract significantly from the overall high standards of cleanliness.
The location is consistently described as wonderful, with amazing views and proximity to the beach. It is a peaceful setting with lovely walks, making it an outstanding feature of the property.
Guests report that Colbeine is very comfortable, with cosy settees and beds. The sunroom is a highlight, although one suggestion was made for blinds due to heat. Overall, the property provides a relaxing and homely atmosphere.
While the property is well-equipped and clean, some guests noted the lack of a dishwasher and minor maintenance issues like a cracked shower tray and hard-to-open kitchen drawers. The property is still considered fabulous, but these points suggest room for improvement.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
About this property
A detached house in excellent condition situated directly on the seafront in Rockcliffe.
A detached house in excellent condition situated directly on the seafront in Rockcliffe. The house has a wonderful sun lounge (pictured) for all year round warmth and spectacular views of Rough and Heston Islands. The property has an exciting large steep rock garden to the side and rear, with outdoor seating overlooking the bay, perfect for a sunny day.
Rockcliffe itself is one of the most popular destinations for holidays in South West Scotland. The close proximity of the safe sandy beach which is ideal for swimming and fishing, and the secluded garden to the front make this an ideal holiday base. The nearby village of Kippford, the sailing centre for the South West of Scotland, has two pubs both serving food. There is a delightful walk between Rockcliffe and Kippford along the Jubilee Path through land owned by the National Trust for Scotland. Golf courses abound in the area and the local stage of the 7Stanes Mountain Bike Network is within a fifteen minute drive of the house at Dalbeattie with others slightly further afield at Mabie & Ae Forests in Dumfries.

Lovely house, lovely view, comfortable, clean, good facilties. We did think there was far less crockery and cutlery than the last time we stayed in this house but it didn't matter as we were only 4.

Our family never tire of Rockcliffe. The huge sky, changing tides and wildlife can all be enjoyed from the comfort of Colbeine! Another wonderful holiday and we can’t wait to come back. Thank you.
