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.

Great place to stay

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.

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.
