We had a lovely stay at The Nook. Michael and Gill were the perfect hosts and the accommodation was faultless. A beautiful and peaceful area to holiday in Scotland with lovely walks nearby as well as being a great base from which to explore Dumfries and Galloway.

They do not come any better than this! Fantastic location - tranquility and unbroken coastal views. Mike, our host, was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Suffice to say it was so good that we have already booked to return next March.
