Merse End

We enjoyed another relaxing holiday at Merse End.

It is wonderfully comfortable and well kitted-out - it is such a joy to stay in. The view from every room is breathtaking and ever-changing.

Another great stay at Merse End.

The property is really well equipped and clean and the beds are nice and comfortable. Ideal location for us. We like it so much we have already booked to go back next year!

The accommodation was fabulous.

Has to be one of the best in terms of location and quality of accommodation. Our score for Sykes is down to your poor administration of an issue that arose during our stay. It’s really hard to make contact with you and there is an obsession with wanting feedback - the only feedback is to ensure that when you have an issue you can easily contact Sykes. There is no option on your system to say ‘I’m currently at a property and have an issue that needs resolving’ that would make life much easier and have avoid spending half an hour trying to engage with a human.

Merse End is an amazing property.

Very spacious and comfortable. The property is remote, quite a way from any convenience shops so make sure you're prepared for this and don't make our mistake by forgetting to take any milk for that first cuppa!

Beautiful house in a stunning location.

Just loved to sit and watch the tide coming in. We had a great week here.

Stunning house with fabulous views.

Can't wait to return. Perfect.

Merse End is wonderful - a beautiful, comfortable property with fabulous views in a lovely setting (good walks from the door as well as a little further afield).

There was plenty of room for the six adults in our group with great communal spaces, including a really well equipped kitchen/dining area. The bedrooms are very comfortable and bathrooms were luxurious. Our group regularly holiday together - we liked the property so much we booked while we were there to return in 2027.

Incredible plot and view.

There are also some nice costal walks on your doorstep. I would recommend for others to visit.

Phenomenal house - everything about it screams high class quality and comfort.

It was warm, clean and had everything you could possibly need. The views are stunning and the location is really nice and central. Absolutely perfect!

Beautiful house- spotlessly clean!

Our third visit and we had another amazing week.

Merse End was perfect for a very relaxing week away.

The house is spacious, clean and has everything we needed. The views from all the rooms onto the bay are amazing, allowing you to watch the seabirds and the tides come and go. Plus the front garden attracts birds, rabbits, and we spotted a weasel one morning. Walks along the coastal path start at the end of the drive and castle point and Kipford are worth the walk.

Beautiful house in a fantastic location.

Superb property, spotlessly clean and well equipped.

View over the solway firth was beautiful and we never tired of looking at it. Ideal for restful holiday or walking in beautiful countryside. Enjoyed feeding the birds every day (multiple times) and even saw a baby deer just outside the front garden. Definitely a place to return to.

We had a brilliant stay at Merse End.

The property is clean, spacious and well equipped. The pictures definitely don't do it justice. Location was ideal for what we wanted to do. Owners were really helpful. Need to mention the blind system on the front windows is difficult to operate (the owners do acknowledge this) and although it's a private road it is part of a popular walking route so be prepared to see a lot of people passing by. But we enjoyed it so much we've booked again for next year.

A stunning property.

The views are amazing. So peaceful. Very clean and comfortable property. Lovely walks from the door. Very good value.

Wow!

What a location. What a view! We absolutely loved Rockcliffe and the property itself was fantastic. It far exceeded our expectations. Looking at the visitor book, some people stay multiple times and we can certainly see why. 5 ***** all the way.

Absolutely stunning property for our belated honeymoon (with the kids!

). Immaculately clean and the most wonderful view, even on the evening of very heavy rain! The snug was perfect for my teenage son and we all loved exploring the rocks and sitting on the rocks at the water's edge every day. Very comfortable beds and the huge tv was great for our movie evenings together. Owners' communication was brilliant with quick and helpful responses. Missing it already and we will definitely be back!

We enjoyed ourselves immensely.

All bedrooms looked out at the beautiful seeview. The weather could not have been better. If there was a chill the underfloor heating automatically turned on. The kitchen was well equipped. Thank you.

Outstanding house.

Wonderful views

The property was quite cold the day we arrived and we found all the thermostats turned to Zero.

There was no wood available to make a fire in the living room stove. So, we spent a fairly uncomfortable first evening in the property. After turning the thermostats up, by the next morning the property was warm. For a property that sleeps 6 it could do with more than a 2 slice toaster, minor niggle. Other than this we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

What a fabulous house , could not fault it.

Beds we're really comfy and all facilities we're great

Beautiful place well equipped had a fantastic stay

Beautiful house with fabulous views of coast line, Just lovely weeks holiday for walking and relaxing

Exceptional house with all modern comforts.

Set in a very quiet area of Rockliffe beach with uninterrupted views out into the estuary through floor to ceiling windows over both floors. Accessibility for those less able has been considered carefully. Very well equipped kitchen, beds comfortable, central heating very efficient for colder days, bathrooms large and plentiful. We will definitely be booking again for next year.

Merse end is simply an extremely good property in a stunning location along the south west coast of Scotland.

The house is both comfortable and practical with a modern layout and a nice fitted out interior, and whether you are waking up or you are easing into the night, the darkness warmly invites the stars to illuminate your evening, the views from the property are all that you would want from a coastal break. We spent our days walking and exploring around the local area taking in the local history, and we also spent days driving out to explore the Dumfries and Galloway area and all that it has to offer from its rich and magnificent heritage. So location wise it’s an ideal hub. The owners are also so helpful and they ensured we made the most of our time at Merse end.

A fantastic place with a cosy atmosphere, beautiful views, and a relaxing vibe.

The bedrooms and bathroom are spacious, and it has everything you could possibly need. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We felt very lucky to be able to stay at Merse End.

A wonderful home. Extremely clean and well kept. Loved the idea of a Maintenance Book where visitors could note any issues (this is the first time we've seen this approach). We didn't have any issues but it showed how much the property and visitor experience is looked after.
