Guests say

Primrose Cottage in Rockcliffe is highly praised for its stunning location and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, cosy lounge, and proximity to the beach and walking paths. While some find the cottage and its furnishings to be on the smaller side, the charm and peacefulness of the setting contribute to a memorable stay.

Guests consistently mention that the cottage is clean and well-kept, with only minor points regarding dust and cobwebs. The high standard of cleanliness contributes to the overall positive experience.

The location is frequently highlighted as superb, with the beach and scenic walks just moments away. The peaceful and beautiful setting is a standout feature for many visitors.

The comfort of the cottage receives mixed reviews. While many find the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, there are several remarks about the sofas being uncomfortable and the double bed being unsuitable for some.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the inclusion of a washing machine and dryer. However, some guests note issues with the oven, TV system, and heating in certain rooms.

While the reviews reflect a positive experience with the cottage's amenities and the owner's helpfulness, there is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

    Lovely cosy cottage in great location close to the beach. Lots of walks from the cottage without having to drive anywhere (which I like!). I noticed a few comments regarding the bed - I think must be new - as very comfortable, I didn’t want to get up! The only downside was the bathroom being on the cold side - the towel rail really doesn’t provide enough heat to warm it up unfortunately- however, hasn’t put me off thinking about staying here again.

    Primrose cottage is a little GEM close to the beach with lots of great walking in a lovely area. Owners are a very nice couple on hand for any problems. The cottage is very well equipped and lacks nothing at all.
