Testimonials

Nordlys cottage was everything we could ask for and more. From booking to arrival nothing was too much for our hosts Melissa and Luke. Melissa sent me a local tasting evening menu as soon as she saw it so I could book in, she sent me aurora watch updates and a wonderful mobile guide to get me ready for our stay. The house was immaculate, the amenities and decoration was a lovely mix of country and modern, and the little ledge in the garden allowed us to sip wine and watch the sunset.
We had a minor issue during our stay and Luke and Melissa replied in seconds to assist us. We managed to resolve the issue and it was all thanks to their help and quick replies.
I would recommend staying here in a heartbeat and I would visit again. I have shared with family and friends who were so pleased with the look and feel of the place.
It’s the little touches and Melissa and Luke definitely achieved that with this property. Thank you both so much, and please stay here as it’s one in a million!.

We stayed here for a long weekend and absolutely loved it. The cottage is gorgeous inside and out and very well equipped. We would love to come back soon and explore the area more. There was lovely woodland walks from the front door and we visited the Galloway forest park. The little town of Newton Stewart is a short drive away so it's easy to pick up any groceries you might need
