Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found Colbeine to be spotlessly clean, contributing to a high cleanliness score. One review mentioned dated sanitary ware, but this seems to be an isolated concern rather than a reflection on cleanliness.
The location is consistently described as wonderful, with amazing views and proximity to the sea, making it a highlight for many guests. The peacefulness and availability of walks contribute to the near-perfect score.
Guests find Colbeine very comfortable, often referring to it as a 'home from home' and praising its suitability for relaxation. The presence of a conservatory and the suitability for dogs and families support a high comfort score.
While the property is generally well-equipped, some guests noted the absence of a dishwasher and the need for maintenance on certain items. These issues lower the score, but the overall facilities are still appreciated.
There are no mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews provided, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
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.

Another wonderful stay in our favourite house. After many years of summer holidays in Rockcliffe we are never short of new adventures and places to visit. Colbeine offers us a beautiful location from which to explore - perfectly equipped for a family stay with dogs and glorious views for those indoor wetter moments. Thank you, we will be back!

Fabulous location with wonderful views and everything required provided. Very quiet and peaceful village with plenty of walks close by so great for the dog. Tried to venture out on the sands when the tide was out and ended up in mud so stayed near to the shore after that!
