Deceptively large, the cottage offers everything you could need for your stay along with a welcoming wood burner for cooler months and large, enclosed garden to enjoy in summer. We look forward to welcoming you soon! The space Part of the charm of 'The Cottage' is it's quaint, traditionally Scottish appearance from the outside but revealing somewhat of a 'Tardis' on the inside! The open plan sitting & dining area is a spacious but welcoming space offering the opportunity for a cosy evening in front of the wood burner after a fun filled day exploring all this beautiful area has to offer. Enjoy a relaxing night in front of the TV on the comfortable sofas, or, there is plenty of room for family games night!

THE AREA Rockcliffe is one of a string of villages along the Solway Coast. Known as the 'Scottish Riviera' it boasts some of the most expensive properties in the region! There are fantastic coastal and forest walking opportunities with the Kippford to Rockcliffe round trip taking around 1.5 to 2 hours and offers incredible views.

In addition the championship grade links course at Southerness is only 20 minutes away. Dumfries and Galloway is a cyclist’s paradise.
