Description from owner

Description

This very attractive and well appointed cottage has everything you would need to accommodate a large family for a week or short break.

The lounge room is substantial and is bright and sunny with a large picture window. The log burning stove is a great addition which will be cosy for those dark, cold nights. There is a 37″ plasma television with freeview and a DVD player.

The cottage has four bedrooms, 2 of which are downstairs, one is a double and one is a twin room. Upstairs there is a twin room with a master en-suite double bedroom. The cottage has a bathroom and shower room on ground floor which adjoins to the utility room (with washing machine) with the en-suite shower room upstairs.

All beds will be made up for your arrival. The cottage has double glazing throughout and has oil central heating with radiators in each room.

Pets are allowed but we must be informed at time of booking.

Response from the owner Jane, Thank you for your lovely comments on your stay at Robin's Nest. We are lucky where we are located. We are rural enough that we can enjoy the dark skies, as you have mentioned, but we are centrally located for all the different activities/attractions that Dumfries and Galloway has to offer. I take your points on board regarding the steps and in particular the door mat recess. I appreciate this could be a problem and I will deal with it as soon as possible. It's the only way our family business can improve with your much appreciated comments. Thanks again and we look forward to meeting you again soon. Regards Donald

Response from the owner Thank you very much for your comments. We try very hard to give our customers that home from home feeling and hopefully that little bit extra too. We are situated that if you want peace from the outside world you can have that but we are also situated very locally to lots of activities, beaches and to lovely eating places. The fact we have 3 cottages situated together provides the perfect base for a large family gathering also. Thanks again and we hope to see you soon.
