What our customers say about their holidays

  This cottage was an absolutely amazing place to spend a week away from it all.

  It was warm, cosy and perfect for all of our needs. Being double length, it also just had that feeling of having a lot of space. The dining room for daytime and then the living room for evening use. Both areas having log burning fires was a great touch and certainly kept the heat. Of note also was a very good and hot shower. You are a minute away from one of the most picturesque beaches in Scotland and when the tide is out, great for that walk. Shops decent and close enough, and a few pubs. There was also a welcome pack including a couple of beers, a bottle of bubbles and our host, Debbie, felt at hand. She checked with us on arrival that all was ok and also made contact during our stay to see if we needed anything. We could not have asked for more and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you.

  We've stayed in a lot of self catering holiday cottages in Scotland and this was well below the standard we are used to.

  There was a leftover dog toy which obviously belonged to a previous visitor under one of the chairs which doesn't give you much confidence the place has been cleaned thoroughly. The beds (and a lot of the other furniture) were old and worn and not that comfortable. Bedding and linen was fine but the beds need replacing. The bathrooms were also in need of an update, very basic and a bit shabby looking. There is a lovely big garden but the only outdoor seating was an old bench and table, it would be nice to have some proper outdoor seating so you can make the most of the garden/eat outside of the weather is nice. The cottage was well equipped with all the basics and location was great but some investment is needed to upgrade the furniture/bathrooms to make this a more enjoyable holiday cottage.

  The cottage is ideally suited in the heart of Cullen Seatown.

  The facilities were exactly as described. Entry was simple and the little extras (biscuits, coffee, shampoos, soaps and beverages) were a nice touch and much appreciated. The log fires in the cottage were superb and well stocked and the dining room and living room separation provided a nice contrast between mealtime, games and a place to chill. The bedrooms were comfortable and ideal for a family of four. Just the one bathroom requires a bit of coordination between family members, but that is clearly understood in a property of this size. Parking on the narrow streets can be an issue so we tended to use a wider street by the nearby churches. The neighbours we met were very friendly. We would plan to return and hope to secure the same cottage which met all our expectations.

  The decor and facilities in the cottage are now very tired.

  This is typified by significant mould around both shower enclosures. (which is actually visible in the cottage publicity photos). The crockery and glass has numerous pieces which are chipped and therefore unsanitary. The cleanliness of the cooker and glass doors look as though the cleaning has been rushed, for example an unwashed pan. There is a poor overall smell in the cottage, probably old cooking smells, necessitating the purchase of fragrance candles. The positioning of the cottage although very close to the village is let down by needing to walk along a non side pathed grass verge. This means any visit to the excellent hotel has a less than pleasant walk back All in all not the best of places to stay.

  Not deep cleaned to a suitable standard.

  Both outside and inside required money spent and attention to detail on level of cleanliness and tidiness. I felt the property had been charged out at the highest price with as little spent on it as possible. The list was long but to find cobwebs and dead flies behind the curtains , poor cleanliness in the bathrooms and dust around the skirtings and window sills was something no one should have missed. As a family we choose many cottage holidays often several a year and Sykes is one of our go to companies. I am not in the habit of giving poor feedback but I felt this property was letting the normal high standards down. Maybe some form of inspection is over due.
