  The photos of the property on Sykes Cottages site make it appear larger than it is.

  There was a sharp broken tile in the kitchen, a door off its hinges up stairs which was just left leaning against the wall, loose bath panel, poorly repaired sofas which looked horrible, the wheelie bins were full upon our arrival meaning we had nowhere to dispose of rubbish, the chairs at the dining table were in a poor state, there were not 2 washing machines - 1 was a tumble dryer which is actually better, the property was full of left food from previous tenants in the cupboards and fridge, the washing machine had lots of hair in it, I got trapped in the side porch as there is no handle on the inside, the fan in the twin room was thick with dust, female sanitary items were left in the bathroom cabinet, the bottom of the fireplace was hanging off, dog food left in a cupboard, medication left in the kitchen drawer along with syringes (without needles). There was a torn sheet on one of the single beds. I had to wash some of the plates before I could use them as they were dirty, the frying pan was sticky with grease and still had remnants of oil in it. One of the security lights outside lit up the downstairs double bedroom making it difficult to sleep, there was the same problem upstairs in the balcony room as there was no curtain at the window. The hand rail on the steps outside was too big to grip and the rail the other side of the gate couldn't be used as it was all splintered. It was surprising that dogs were not allowed on the furniture as it was all already damaged. All in all, the property was not at the standard the photographs showed, in fact some of it was incredibly dangerous, I feel that I have paid far too much for the stay there and would welcome a partial refund. The property was very clean and comfortable but I will not go again.

  This is the first property we have used where we have not had to buy toilet rolls, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and condiments.

  We were welcomed with plumb cake, home made jam and butter. There was milk in the fridge. We could not find fault with anything in the cottage. It was like being home from home. Very comfortable and welcoming. We used the game room every day. The owner was available every day - she is a lovely person, very friendly and helpful. With all the living arrangements on ground level it was ideal for my mum who is 86 and she managed the 3 large steps down to the lounge and a bedroom with ease (I think it would work for a person in a wheelchair) The rooms are spacious. The village was quiet, friendly and peaceful, the children aged 10 and 12 could safely ride round the village. The local convenience store had the basics and the local pub had good food and was very reasonably priced. The coast is only 30 minutes away and there were plenty if other things to do and see in the surrounding area. We loved the cottage, would definitely use this as a base should we return to the area. We would highly recommend it.

  Balmedie was immaculately clean and very comfortable.

  Kitchen particularly well equiped, especially helpful in these days when we are more inclined to eat in than usual perhaps The two wings, with a couple of bedrooms in each maximises privacy for sharing households. Bathroom provision excellent. We explored the games room and although did not, in the end use it as we experienced excellent weather so out and about plenty and enjoying the pleasant patio area, it clearly would be a boon for poor weather or groups with youngsters. General surroundings so quiet, peaceful and private and the wider countryside very attractive with many places and attractions well within an hours drive. Hosts very friendly and helpful. Carol responded very promptly in sorting a minor problem we experienced and was particularly thoughtful and kind to the elder members of our group. All of our party expressed a strong desire to experience the pleasure of staying at Balmedie again.

  Kylemore Railway Cottage was perfect.

  We were 6 adults and the cottage was spacious and very comfortable for all of us. The cottage was impeccably clean and everything was of a very high quality spec. The beds were so comfortable that I'm now going to change my mattress at home for the same used in the cottage. Set in a quiet, rural area, next to a working railway line. The passing trains were swift and unobtrusive. We spent Christmas 2023 there and the owner had decorated the living areas beautifully with fairy lights, a real Christmas tree and lots of other decorations. Having a log fire in the dining room made it all the more special. We will definitely recommend this property and will stay there again in the future. Yvette and George were very helpful and friendly. All in all, a wonderful family Christmas (with 3 generations) was had by all. Thank you.

  We absolutely loved the property.

  It had everything we could possibly need and more. Incredibly well equipped kitchen, very spacious bedrooms, super bathrooms and lots of outside space. The cottage was very warm. The property is situated in its own grounds so it’s very quiet and private. Many villages to visit close by and the coast is just a 25 minute drive away. The property would be very suitable for families with a great games room. As a group of ladles, the only thing which could have improved our stay would have been the option to have the double beds as single beds, link type beds. Hosts were very helpful and friendly both before and during our stay. Really can’t praise this property highly enough. Certainly the best cottage we have stayed in. We hope to visit again soon and have shared our ‘find’ with friends and family..
