Cottage with stunning views over Kirkcudbright Bay, a short walk from the beach.

Lower Nunton is set in a rural location and has a large private garden ideal for families and dog lovers alike. All the rooms of this single story cottage face out across the bay and the 360 degree views from the garden are just as spectacular. Wooden garden furniture is supplied in season and there is a portable BBQ kept in the house. The living room has a Freeview TV, DVD player and CD/radio as well as a selection of books and games. There is a wood burning stove making it lovely and cosy on a long winter evening. The kitchen/diner is well equipped with everything needed for a home from home, seating for six or more and underfloor heating.There is one double bedroom, one twin room and a shower room at one end of the cottage and a twin bunk room and bathroom at the other end. The shower room has a low level tray and wide outward opening door for easy access while the bathroom has a mixer tap with shower attachment.
The cottage is heated by a mixture of underfloor heating and electric heaters with individual timers and thermostats so you can have each room just right. All electricity is included in the price as are bed linen, towels, tea towels, cloths, cleaning materials and a complementary basket of logs. We now have fibre broadband and mobile phone reception is good on all networks.
Dogs are welcome as are responsible owners. There is an extra charge of £15 per pet. If you intend to bring pets, please contact the owner before booking as this will need to be added to the quote.
There is no dedicated EV charging port, only an outside 3 pin socket. There are rapid charging devices in Kirkcudbright Harbour car park and at the Cocoa Bean Company both within 4 miles. EV charging is not included in the rental. Please contact the owner if you intend to bring an electric car.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great find

Had an excellent weeks stay here with our two dogs in this well equipped and comfortable cottage with great views and easy access to Nuns Mill Bay. Lovely quiet location in an elevated position looking out to sea with a good sized garden fab weather also helped make this a super relaxing and enjoyable stay. Look out for the red kytes.

Perfect peaceful location with wonderful views and garden space for dogs.

The location is certainly off the beaten track but that was an attraction. The actual house well decorated and very comfortable with a very large kitchen containing everything for home cooking as there were no nearby restaurants. It is near to Kirkcudbright where we had a wonderful time enjoying the Art Gallery and individual shops. Even the weather was mild for mid winter and the sun shone every day. Certainly would like to return.

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.

Like Heaven on Earth

Just on our way home after a week here. The peace and tranquility was fabulous. All you could hear was bird song and the odd sheep. The cottage is lovely and it was a joy to eat at the kitchen table and take in the views. The weather was kind to us and the baby wagtails and the robin in the garden kept us amused. We would definately recommend this property and hope to visit again.. Carol & Andy Cosgrove x

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.

Beach and countryside with quick access to town

We really loved our stay here. This is a well kept comfy but not too posh property with easy access to the nearby beach, local amenities in Kirkcudbright, and walks and bike rides around Borgue. The house was perfect for us with kitchen diner being a good size for us two people, comfortable lounge with logburner and logs provided, the garage providing bike storage, the garden and larger area around the house are dog safe so worked wonderfully for little terrier. It houses 6 people but I think for that a dishwasher would help. The area is beautiful, the views from the house are stunning. We loved it and will be back with luck. Also really clean and Covid safety was adhered to ++ so thank you to the staff for those really important considerations. Lovely!

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.
