Make your way to Scotland’s south coast and dive into a world of activity along the Solway Firth, staying in this exceptional beachside property that’s perfectly suited to fun-seeking friends, families or couples. This fantastic abode is located in Rockcliffe, a charming seaside village that provides an ideal base for hikers, cyclists and sailing enthusiasts. The beach is just a few metres away, and local sailing centres can be found both here and in neighbouring Kippford (4 miles), offering boats for hire and launching points for your own adventures on the water. A little further afield, Sandyhills Beach (3 miles) is another picturesque spot for sunbathing, swimming and invigorating coastal walks with views towards the Cumbrian coastline. Keen cyclists can also take advantage of long-distance routes and thrilling mountain biking trails nearby, including the renowned 7Stanes trails at Dalbeattie (5 miles).

Step inside via the hallway and continue through to the kitchen/diner, a sociable space with ample worktop space and all the necessary appliances for preparing family meals. Adjacent to this, the combined lounge and sunroom provide a wonderful place to unwind, with large windows framing views of the garden and surrounding countryside. Deep sofas and armchairs are arranged around a wood burner and TV/DVD, creating a cosy setting for evenings in. A utility room adds extra convenience on the ground floor, along with a shower room that serves the first bedroom - a generously sized twin room with lovely sea views. Upstairs, you’ll find two further bedrooms. The largest is a king-size room, also benefiting from sea views, while the second is a twin with an additional pull-out bed to accommodate an extra guest. A second shower room completes the first-floor layout.

Outside, the garden is a peaceful haven of bucolic greenery, perfectly complementing the surrounding landscape.

Lovely spacious and well-equipped cottage in a super location. Wonderful views with garden next to the shore. Downstairs bedroom and shower-room excellent for the less-mobile.

This was our third visit to Calluna Cottage. It is so peaceful there. We enjoyed seeing the many different birds that visited the feeders in the garden. The red squirrels were a no show unfortunately. The cottage is a real find with the added bonus of the "secret" garden which overlooks the beach. Beautiful walks on the doorstep.

Location is perfect along a very quiet (and narrow) well surfaced private lane. The view taking in the Estuary is outstanding. The mature garden surrounding the property proved to be very dog friendly and there is the added bonus of a further garden area situated across the lane and ending at the Estuary shore. The cottage is well equipped , comforRead moretable and very peaceful and not overlooked. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to return. Hide

Caluna cottage is well equipped, cosy and comfortable. The views are lovely and there is plenty to do. We walked along some of the coastal path, visited Crawick multiverse, the Devils Porridge, Dumfries house and the deer park. All fabulous places.

Was pleasantly surprised by Calluna Cottage. The photos on the website don't do it justice. The inside is clean, very comfortable, and lots of choices of where to sit and very comfortable sofas. The bed was also great. Very well stocked with everything you need for a holiday, plus some. I like to cook and usually have to make do with pans, utensilRead mores etc, but the owners have thought of everything. The garden over the road is perfect, and right on the shore, sadly we didn't get very good weather so couldn't take full advantage. The area is beautiful, stunning cliff walks and a more gentle stroll through woods to the next village of Kippford where there is a choice of 2 dog friendly pubs for bar meals and also a cafe. (Check opening times of all 3 as think some close in winter) Only minor issue is the shower downstairs quickly runs cold (we didnt use the upstairs one), so fine for a quick morning wash but got a bit chilly when washing my hair ! But as I said, a minor point in an otherwise great cottage. Will hopefully be back Hide

An unbeatable location by the beach in peaceful Rockcliffe. Everything you need to enjoy this beautiful part of the world. You can walk straight from the house to enjoy coastal and woodland footpaths, we will certainly be back.

We had an enjoyable two weeks at Calluna cottage. Lovely house and garden in a nice location. Well equipped kitchen. The beds however are a little tired and in need of new mattresses and pillows and a good deep clean of the whole house wouldn't go amiss. This did not detract from the enjoyment of our holiday with family.

Location is fantastic! Views at all times of day from the cottage are brilliant The shore garden is an amazing extra. The space in the cottage was much appreciated and the large kitchen table perfect for meals and card games.

This was our second trip to Calluna Cottage. The cottage is spacious and pretty much has everything you could need. There is lots to do in the area. We will definitely be booking again.

We really enjoyed our week at Calluna Cottage. It is a very comfortable, well maintained and equipped property in a great location for exploring Dumfries & Galloway. The front garden runs down to the shoreline and is a great place to sit and enjoy the view.
