Beautiful Cottage in a stunning location. Clean,cosy but spacious this place is hard to beat for an away from it all break. Would certainly highly recommend
Absolutely loved this property. Very roomy and great location. Cosy and warm. Very pet friendly with secured garden. Views of bay are amazing. Easy access to beach and 5 minute walk. The only thing we wish it had was a cloths airer as weather can be unpredictable at times. Overall we had a great stay.
The place was absolutely brilliant! The views were fantastic! Everything there you needed. Great big garden for the dogs, with a beach a short stroll away. Can't recommend it enough. Best place I have ever stayed in Scotland. Would buy this place and retire there!
Absolutely loved our stay here. The cottage is fantastic! Very spacious, spectacular views, very homely. Any contact I had with the host was replied to promptly.
It’s a beautiful cottage in a perfect location. Very peaceful and a lovely view from every window. The cottage has absolutely everything you could need and the garden is great if you have a dog as it’s totally enclosed.
We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to others.
We had a lovely time in the cottage and exploring the local area. Very relaxing in a beautiful location. So lucky with the weather and able to watch the sun go down.
We had a really lovely short break. This cottage has everything you could need (no WiFi but we weren't fussed). Beautiful views over the beach, with nice big garden for the dogs to run around in. I honestly couldn't fault it.Hopefully we will be back again soon!

Very nice cottage in a beautiful area. Amazing views from the cottage…it was nice weather so the views were breath taking.
Nice cottage inside and out. Huge lovely garden. Nice, comfortable furniture and beds, lovely shower, fully equipped kitchen.
Did I mention the views?
Things to improve? No WiFi. This is marked on the listing. Didn’t bother us because our phone networks worked well.
I really enjoyed the Pride & Prejudice DVD, there was a big selection of DVDs.
The curtains were very thin and did nothing to block the wonderful sunrise. Fortunately we always travel with window black-outs.
I will return for sure to this property.

An interesting area to explore
Once we had located the property, the neighbours must get a bit frustrated at redirecting visitors, we were surprised by the gate and track up through the field over the cattle grids. Somehow we had missed this info in the advert entry to the property was as expected. The house was clean and well appointed. The heating was excellent as was the hot water supply. A good supply of games for the wet days.
Overall a good property but some people would find the gate difficult to manage. Please prune the brambles beside the gate.
Peaceful, beautiful location. Cosy cottage with fantastic coastal views. Easy walking to beach. Log burner great. And enclosed garden for dog. Would definitely stay again
Lower Nunton was perfect for us four adults and two dogs. The log fire made it very comfortable. There was everything in the cottage that we needed. Only one little niggle, the bins outside the cottage were full of garden rubbish, so we had to take the rubbish down the track to the bins near the road.
Very quiet and peaceful. One of the bedrooms was a bit musty when we arrived but soon aired. Would have no hesitation to stay here again. A short walk to a beach.
The cottage is warm, cosy and really well equipped. Our dog loved the enclosed garden and we loved the views and the tranquility. The beds are comfortable and there was masses of hot water - the shower is great. The host was really responsive to messages and extremely helpful. If we visit the area again this will be the first cottage on our list to book - it's ideal as a base to explore the area.Dhoon beach is just down the lane leading to the cottage and the perfect spot for a morning dog walk.
We really loved this cottage. It’s far enough away to be really quiet and peaceful but at the same time really accessible to all the local attractions. Great place to stay. Super warm and cosy.
Really lovely well keep cottage. Well equipped and large enclosed garden, our dogs loved it. Great location to explore the local area. We will definitely recommend, and return.
