This family-friendly property gives friends and family the chance to spend quality time together, whether for a special occasion or for an escape beside the sea. With thoughtful touches throughout and space for eight guests, this peaceful holiday home is ideal for exploring the stunning Solway Coast. Directly in front of the property is Rockcliffe Beach, where guests will be inclined to spend whole days rock pooling, building sandcastles or playing beach games. There are scenic coastal paths from here too; you can go north to the sailing village of Kippford (4 miles) or south towards Sandyhills (3 miles). RSPB Mersehead is just 6.5 miles away and a keen option for wildlife watchers, while golfers will love having a round at Colvend (1.5 miles) or Southerness (10 miles). Little ones will love running wild at the soft play at Ernespie Farm (13 miles).

Enter this three-storey retreat and hang up your coats in the spacious foyer. Gather in the generous sitting room and relax on the soft seating while you cosy up by the fire, watch the TV, or simply gaze out at the uninterrupted Rough and Heston Island views. The hallway leads to a cloakroom with a WC, and a utility room with a washing machine, a tumble dryer and lots of space for all-weather gear. The kitchen/diner is fully fitted and modern, with a double oven, induction hob and a large American-style fridge/freezer. There is an eight-person table here, where you can pause with a cup of tea or play board games. Three of the bedrooms are situated on the first floor, including a twin with a sea view and a king-size zip-and-link with an en-suite bathroom with a bath, shower and WC. Both have access to a gorgeous shared terrace. Finishing this floor is a king-size zip-and-link with its own en-suite shower room with WC, and a stylish bathroom with a bath, shower, and WC. Up on the second floor is the king-size bedroom with additional futon beds, making it convenient for families with little ones.

Spend balmy days chatting or watching the kids play in the patio garden. Kick back on the garden set while the BBQ flames in the background and glasses of bubbles clink against one another. This gorgeous property also offers ample secure storage for outdoor equipment and private parking for three cars.

The process of booking was easy with discover Scotland who were very helpful as always. Fantastic location overlooking Rockcliffe with balcony with beach views, there was plenty of room for the family and grandparents. This beautiful modern interior house was clean and tidy, with everything we needed. Great house would recommend, well be back

Whitegates provided very comfortable and spacious accommodation for our family holiday - 3 generations staying. It is very well equipped, and provides more flexible accommodation than many holiday properties as two of the bedrooms have zip-linked beds. Rockcliffe is a wonderful part of Scotland for a family holiday.

Lovely house, great setting. The owners have kitted it out with quality furniture and deserves to be looked after by visitors to their family home.
