Un jardin immense et un environnement extraordinairement beau. Le calme de la campagne et le charme du bord de mer. Les proprietaires sont a l'ecoute et tres discrets.

Lovely cottage
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.

Sweet Life.
We love Dumfries and Galloway and this was our 3rd holiday in the locality. The Cottage was clean and comfortable, and well kitted out. The large grass garden area was brilliant for the 3 family dogs. The garden was secure, Was concerned regarding the low stone wall separating this garden with the neighbours garden, but all was more than ok, and the dogs made no attempt to investigate the other side!!. The rough gravel track up to the Cottage did present a few mobility issues for driving up and down. I have Arthritis and it was a bit of a bone shaker to be honest. From the cottage , the views were superb, and the holiday was totally complete for us when we regularly saw the wonderful Red Kites. Wowwwww. Loved our stay here and can highly recommend.

Great location
The cottage was just as described, very comfortable and in a rural location. Enjoyed watch the Red Kites from the cottage and lots of nice walks nearby. Kirkcudbright is an excellent centre with all essential shops, cafes and restaurants. There was no need to contact the property manager at any point.

A little slice of heaven
The cottage is perfect...Amazing garden so big the dog thought he had his own field and the 14yr old, his own football pitch. Every need is catered for in the kitchen there was even weighing scales. The views are tremendous I could have sat in the garden for ever or at the kitchen table looking at the sea come and go. The beds are really comfortable and the shower is brilliant all the boys agreed too ... In fact I had to shout to get them out. A fabulous location to explore the wonderful solway coast. We didn't want to come home. Definitely will go back.

A home from home
We had the most relaxing and peaceful week at this delightful cottage. The views were something else and being so close to a lovely beach was a real bonus. Our dog loved the garden as did the kids and none of us wanted to leave. It had everything we needed and much more. The local town was charming and had lots to explore. Highly recommend this place.

What a great cottage and tremendous location for a peaceful getaway
Securing the rental was hassle-free. We anticipated a good cottage and adequate set-up for our dogs. We could not have got better. Great location, tremendous facilities and so many attractions from beaches for dog walking to artist-themed attractions and a lovely town. We certainly hope to visit again.

Stunning location
We had an excellent week at Lower Nunton. The cottage is very pretty and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The listed photos don't do the views justice, and on a clear night there is a fantastic view of the stars. The garden is great for dogs - our lurcher had an absolutely marvellous time for the first few days - unfortunately when sheep were rotated into the adjacent field the temptation proved too much for him and he managed to jump onto the garden dry stone wall, over the barbed wire fence and into the field. He's never jumped like that before. Thankfully he didn't harm any of them, just herded them into the far corner of the field! So if your dog has the potential to jump, it may not be the place for you, as he then had to be on a lead the rest of the week. Lots of great places to visit nearby. Don't miss Scottish night in Kirkcudbright every Thursday evening 7pm through the summer.

Why they chose this property

In 1985 we went on holiday in Dumfries and Galloway and fell in love with the area. In 1986 we went back to buy a holiday home. We found Lower Nunton, a total wreck, we turned our backs on it and said, "We must buy this view." We bought it and made it a second home for our family.
In 2007, my daughter was married on the beach and had her reception at the house. Now it is a holiday home for my children's families.
I started renting it in 2011 with a local agent then Trip Adviser . I have started renting through Owners Direct in February 2017.
