Primrose Cottage in Rockcliffe is praised for its stunning location, cleanliness, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the proximity to the beach and scenic walks, as well as the peaceful atmosphere. While the cottage is cosy and ideal for couples or small families, some guests find the living space and seating somewhat cramped and uncomfortable for larger groups. The charm and character of the cottage, alongside its modern amenities, make it a memorable stay for many.
Guests consistently note the cottage as clean and tidy, with only minor comments on cobwebs. The high level of cleanliness contributes to the overall positive experience.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, beautiful walks, and peaceful setting. The ease of access to local attractions and the sound of waves add to the charm.
While beds and pillows are described as comfortable, there are several remarks about the sofas being uncomfortable and the living space being tight for four adults, suggesting a better fit for smaller groups.
The cottage is well-equipped with a kitchen, Wi-Fi, and off-road parking. However, some guests mention quirks such as an oven that takes time to warm up and a non-smart TV, indicating room for improvement in maintenance.

Primrose Cottage is a charming traditional cottage recently modernised and refurbished to an excellent standard and is just yards from Rockcliffe's popular sandy beach with rock pools and wonderful views to enjoy, for the adventurous you can walk at low tide to Rough Island or for the very adventurous at spring low tides even to Hestan Isle, but you will need to check the tide times to avoid troubling RNLI! Guests are also able to enjoy free golf at nearby Colvend, an attractive 18 hole Parkland course**
Whilst you may wish to just stay at the cottage to enjoy the beach there are also local coastal walks to Castle Point or to the popular sailing centre of Kippford with its two well-known hotels for eating and dining, both overlooking the Estuary making them ideal places for enjoying a quiet evening drink while watching activities on the river. The cottage makes an excellent base for exploring South West Scotland with its outstanding natural beauty of rolling hills, open countryside and wonderful woods and forests. Wildlife abounds throughout and can be enjoyed by all whilst taking walks or cycling through the Forestry Commission Woodlands or indeed at local reserves such as rspb Merserhead or Wildfowl Wetlands Trust at Caerlaverock.
