Guests say
Winlocke Cottage in Biggar receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and location, with guests enjoying the picturesque surroundings and friendly atmosphere. The property is well-equipped, spacious, and ideal for family getaways, offering lovely walks and a cosy environment. The quick response from the owners to any issues is appreciated, enhancing the overall experience.
Guests consistently mention the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as 'spot on', 'very clean', and 'lovely and warm'. The provision of ample towels also contributes to the high standard of hygiene maintained.
The location is celebrated for its picturesque area, good central point for visiting places, and proximity to walks and the highest pub in Scotland. However, a car is needed for shops or takeaways, slightly affecting the score.
Reviewers find the cottage very comfortable, with cosy beds and a warm atmosphere. The spaciousness for larger groups and the overall cosiness contribute to a high comfort level.
The cottage is well-equipped and laid out, with everything needed for a pleasant stay. There was a mention of the heating stopping, but the owners' quick resolution shows good maintenance.
While guests express overall satisfaction and mention a welcome pack, there is insufficient information to determine the consistency of thoughtful gestures such as gifts. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such amenities will be provided in the future.
