Great setting, good parking, very comfortable and well equipped. Comfortable beds . Children loved plethora of games, adults loved access to garage and garden furniture. Excellent midweeks service by housekeeper to cottage. Already rebooked for 2025.

Calluna is a lovely property in Rockcliffe, situated off the main road but with easy access to the property by car or on foot. The private road whereon several houses are situated provides a pleasant and easy walking experience for those with mobility issues and is very accessible for those requiring wheelchair assistance out doors. The property has a lovely aura of peacefulness and nature; the garden being extremely well stocked with various trees and bushes. The kitchen is reasonably equipped with basic functional oven and affords a comfortable dining experience around the large table. Downstairs bathroom is well equipped for those with mobility issues, though the beds in the bedroom across from that bathroom are not particularly comfy . . . (in my opinion) more suited for children than adults with mobility issues. The beds in the upstairs twin room are similar but the double bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable. My elderly mum, who walks with a stick, chose to use this room rather than the downstairs bedroom. Thankfully mum was able to negotiate the stairs with the use of her stick and assistance of one person. The property is as described and I am happy to recommend it. The comments made in the 'guest book' indicate the satisfaction of other guests regarding their stay there.

The view from Calluna Cottage was fabulous and the garden on the shoreline idyllic! At different times of day the light changed dramatically. The cottage with its downstairs bedroom and bathroom suited us perfectly and we appreciated there being so much living space. We know this part of Galloway pretty well and it was a perfect base for visiting old haunts.
