What our customers say about their holidays

  Spacious, clean & warm.

  Slippers, dressing gowns & some toiletries were provided. There were some slight issues due to us being the first people in after the winter eg not enough crockery. However, those issues were quickly resolved. There were only 6 dining chairs when the property is for 8. This wasn't an issue for us. Presumably that could have also been resolved if needed. There was no internet access initially. Apparently if you book through Sykes it is free; if you book through caravan park it isn't. There wasn't a TV in each room as advertised. Also there was no smart TV; at least none that was working.There was a DVD player, although none was advertised. The snooker table went down well. Although in the middle of a caravan park, it was quiet. This may not be the case in high season. There was no file with tourist information & instruction manuals, which you would expect from Sykes. Good views from the upstairs sitting room.

  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.

  Ok so it was a great property, very spacious well designed and comfortable.

  Lovely and cool features, showers and bath amazing, some unique and interesting features. 5 star all over but there were some small maintenance issues needing checked. 2 toilet seats should be replaced - Orange bedroom en-suite & Utility WC. The kitchen tap needs tightened probably underneath and the panel under the oven fell off easily. The roof terrace didn't look safe and we didnt not try to access, though it was never good enough weather and there is a dead seagull on it. I would say the sofas in the area next to the kitchen were a little small (we are big people!!). A smart TV would be ideal somewhere, they are a little dated. We never worked out how to connect to the internal internet but we had decent 4g signal. Overall we loved the house. Cheers!

  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.
