What our customers say about their holidays

  The property and furnishings are superb and Iona's attention to detail in welcoming new arrivals was outstanding, with artisan and locally sourced goodies awaiting upon our arrival and even goodies for our dogs.

  The lodge was immaculate and cosy, with absolutely stunning views. I could not fault the lodge, its spec, the location, the exceedingly thoughtful gestures provided by the owners and the helpful information provided by the owners. Only recommendations I could suggest is purely for guests who would book longer next time (like me), would be: a dog gate, just to ensure the dogs are secure and fellow site users have their space respected too. A wellie and umbrella port outside (purely to keep the already beautiful lodge as dry and clean as possible, with a little more ease). A washing machine/dryer would be a nice to have, particularly if booking in autumn/winter seasons (which we plan to do), and a hot tub would be the cherry on top of an already awesome cake! This location was probably the best location I've booked so far that has ideal dog walking spots, where you're not having to worry about infringing on someone's land or bothering sheep and cattle. Its postion in the central belt of Scotland was ideal for venturing the castles, lochs, palaces, villages, cities and towns and the local watersports was a huge hit with the kids! If you like wildlife practicallyon your doorstep, be it red squirrels, birds of prey or roaming deer, this is nirvana! Site staff are lovely and very helpful too. I will be returning to Hollybirch, which I feel is the most sincere recommendation a guest can give. Huge thank you to Iona and Philip for making our stay absolute bliss!

  The wee cottage was easy to access using the key box. There is parking directly outside the cottage but it is limited. The inside of the cottage is lovely. Everything was clean and bright and the kitchen was well equipped. The heating was off when I arrived - which normally wouldn’t be a problem in Crieff in June but it has been a not great summer and the property was cold. It took me a wee while to work out how to put the heating on and then it took even longer for the property to heat up. The garden out the back was very unkept and overgrown which was a shame as it is a pet friendly property but the garden (which was one of the reasons I booked for me and my dog) was not usable. This is why I have given 3 stars. If the garden had been usable I would have given more. The bed was very comfy. A massive plus for me. The location is very central in Crieff so once I’d parked my car everywhere was walkable.

  Lodge stunning, attention to detail amazing, wonderful views.

  Lovely welcum pack for us and our little dog. A little stool at dressing table would be helpful to sit and dry hair n things, a small detail for comfort thou not a problem. Iona is so helpful and promptly dealt with our noise complaint of building works and a small plumbing issue. She cannot be faulted as a careing owner and followed up by checking we were happy and comfortable. Location was described as idylic and relaxing, on Sykes Cottages website. So we choose here to unwind and were surprised to find building work going on to finish the site. we feel sykes cottages should have made us aware of the fact and let it be up to us if we choose to go during this time. We would gladly go back when work has finished as it will be the perfect retreat then to relax and unwind.

  Great place to stay just such a shame about the weather.

  Welcome pack for us & our dog was very nice touch. On Sykes website it says gated deck & then it says be aware deck is not gated but it is so dog can be secured on deck. The only thing that was a bit misleading was that until we got there we didn't know that we would have to take our dog offsite to toilet him. There are plenty of walks & generally thus wouldn't be a problem but most days it was torrential rain so this wasn't ideal. Also a little bit of information about how to use microwave, what to do with rubbish etc eoukd have been useful. These are only minor issues but otherwise can't recommend the property more highly & would love to stay here again.

  The listing of the property was generally accurate, however, we feel that it should have been mentioned that the site as a whole was still under construction.

  The views from the rear decking of the lodge were outstanding in fine weather but that was offset when leaving the property of an unfinished lodge, unconnected pipework and building supplies strewn around the place. The initial drive into the site when full of excitement for a week ahead and then to be met by a rusty dumper truck, metal fencing and an unfinished building site were quite a shock. This was not what we were expecting and having stayed in previous Sykes locations we would expect better. In summary, the property was good but the site itself is in need of some improvement.
