Guests say
Colbeine in Rockcliffe is highly praised for its stunning location, beautiful views, and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the comfortable furnishings and the property's suitability for dogs and families. The garden and proximity to the beach are notable highlights, contributing to a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
The majority of guests report that Colbeine is spotlessly clean. One review mentions dated sanitary ware, but this does not seem to detract significantly from the overall perception of cleanliness.
The location is consistently lauded for its beauty and convenience, with the beach being just a minute away and lovely walks accessible from the front door. The peaceful and picturesque setting is a standout feature.
Guests find the property very comfortable, with cosy settees and beds. The sunroom is a favourite spot, although a suggestion for blinds indicates room for improvement in managing the indoor temperature.
While the property is well-equipped and offers a relaxing environment, some guests note the absence of a dishwasher and the need for updates to the kitchen and bathroom facilities. Maintenance issues like a cracked shower tray are also mentioned.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
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.

We really enjoyed our stay at Colbeine, the beds are comfortable, and so are the settees in the lounge. We spent most of our time in the sun room , watching the incredible views . We had lovely sunny weather while we were there . Some blinds would be a nice addition to the sun room . As it gets really hot in there.We really enjoyed our walks from the door , especially the walk from Rockcliffe to Kippford . Where you can get a nice lunch or evening meal . Our dog enjoyed the runs on the beach .

Another great holiday here for the third year, but gutted we’ve missed booking the same dates for 2025. Superb location and one of the few places we can take four dogs.

A perfectly located, comfortable cottage with beautiful views. Colbeine was a brilliant holiday base for our young family and dog, we will be back again!
