Holiday Cottage letting Agency operating since 1983 with cottages across all of Scotland

Neptune Cottage has a fabulous south facing location right on the beach front in the picturesque village of Rockcliffe. The sun lounge has stunning, uninterrupted views across the bay to Rough Island and Hestan Island, as do all the principal rooms and bedrooms. The sandy beach is immediately across the road.

Around Rockcliffe village there is extensive network of footpaths from the door of the cottage, give access to countless walks through countryside, woods, and wildflower meadows, with numerous opportunities for photography or to pause at one of the many secluded seats where you may be lucky enough to spot red squirrels, deer or woodpeckers. At low tide, walk over to explore Rough Island – a National Trust Bird Sanctuary or follow the coastal footpath to secret smugglers' coves with wonderful views over the Solway to the Lake District, offering excellent sea fishing opportunities and the chance to spot porpoise, sea otters and seabird colonies (don’t forget your binoculars.) A perfect evening stroll is along the Jubilee Path to the popular sailing village of Kippford, where you can sample local ales or fresh seafood on the waterfront at two excellent pubs, or during the daytime enjoy afternoon tea by the sea at the Ark Café and gift shop.
