This was our second holiday at Martha's Shore Cottage. We chose it partly because we knew that it was entirely suitable for my wife, who is a wheelchair user, and our dog, who we could let wander around the garden without worrying that she would get through the fence, and partly because of the wonderful views from the cottage.

Great cottage in a fantastic location on the banks of the river Nith. Lovely views and plenty of bird life on the river. Even saw the otters. Cottage is large and comfortable. The dog loved the garden - which is very secure. I would return. ##### Peter This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger Sep 27, 2019 #### A return visit for us having stayed last year. A return visit for us having stayed last year. A LOVELY cottage which ticks all the boxes for us and that includes our dog who loves it. A secure garden is a must for any cottage we stay in and this one is very secure. Looking out of the French door over the river and hills opposite is a delight with numerous birds, the evening exodus of gulls returning to the open sea grabs our attention every night. Lucky this year with the weather resulting in stunning sunsets. Looking forward to returning again. ##### Roger This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roy Aug 15, 2019 #### Excellent (and unusual) to find a cottage with proper accommodation for those with limited mobility. Excellent (and unusual) to find a cottage with proper accommodation for those with limited mobility. The owner obviously understands what this really means. Thanks, especially for supportive chairs with arms as well as a comfortable sofa. The cottage is suitable and attractive to younger, more active members of the family but does not exclude the older members. Also, good to have an ever-changing bird sanctuary outside the kitchen window! ##### Roy This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel Aug 4, 2019 #### We absolutely adored this cottage. We absolutely adored this cottage. It’s size was ideal and with extra wide doorways that made it very easy to get around with a wheelchair. It is beautifully kept and well equipped for all our needs. It’s location is second to none, being able to watch river life come and go is wonderfully relaxing. I’ll be very happy to recommend this cottage, and I’d be quite happy to go back sometime soon 10/10 ##### Rachel This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Jul 14, 2019 #### G Great place for a restful holiday This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Malcolm Jun 24, 2019 #### Fantastic location.
