  Our second Sykes' cottage booking this year - this last minute break did not disappoint.

  A lovely cottage that has been thoughtfully renovated and designed. Lots of space, the kitchen and dining room were both really nice and the lounge was equally good - very comfy sofas! The downstairs shower room was well equipped and modern and the upstairs bathroom was also very smart. The 2 bedrooms were large with good sized beds. Lots of storage space for everything we took with us. The cottage had everything anyone would need. We took our own towels and used our own condiments/foil/cling film/cooking oil etc, but we didn't need to, the kitchen drawers and cupboards had so many items for people to use. We ate in at night, as we were out every day - it was nice and relaxing to be in MuirMailing for a week away. Wendy was lovely, very helpful -also really nice to see the ponies going out on the field when it wasn't too wet and the dogs were so well behaved. A really great place to stay - 40 minutes from Edinburgh - lovely walks around Stirling Castle and Edinburgh, plus the country park nearby. Would highly recommend

  A wonderful cottage and hugely cared for by close by owners and maintenance man.

  Felt like home as soon as we were through the front door. Well appointed and equipped, would recommend for a relaxing, chilled time away. Both bedrooms and beds are large and comfortable, underfloor heating in bathrooms (must have luxury, will miss this at home), well spaced sitting area with outside space. Stove to keep with the country cottage feel. Clean, fresh and feels like new. Tasty homemade treats on arrival. Everyone was just so friendly and keen for us to walk around the surrounding fields to get a feeling for the place and how it sits within the landscape. Property is on the John Muir way with descent coffee shop within striding distance. Will certainly be returning, well done team it's perfect!

  A wonderful stay.

  The home was bright airy, beautiful view, especially from the upstairs bedrooms, which were spacious clean, by far exceeded our expectations. The owner of the cottage couldn't do enough for us, as far as suggestions for worth seeing areas, directions, even helped us with a dilemma regarding another booking a week later.. She went above and beyond. We loved the farm atmosphere, the owner was a champ with the animals, absolutely nothing we could say remotely negative. We give this a 10 plus.... best cottage we have ever rented, and we've rented quite a few in Europe. Thanks Wendy, you were a champ, and you were so very helpful in all respects. The four of us loved the stay.

  Muirmailing Cottage is one of the best cottages we’ve ever stayed in (and we have stayed in lots over the years).

  The cottage was lovely, comfortable and very well-equipped. You could tell a lot of careful thought had gone into the facilities and equipment. The owners, who live on the same site, were friendly and helpful but not intrusive, and we enjoyed the lovely setting complete with a beautiful flower garden, and the company of their friendly dogs and cat. Although the location was very peaceful and rural, there are plenty of interesting places to visit within a very easy driving distance, from Edinburgh and Glasgow, Falkirk, Linlithgow and Stirling to the lochs and mountains of the Trossachs. We had a wonderful week and definitely hope to return.

  Perfect! Excellent, comfortable accommodation and friendly, very helpful owners.

  Plenty of information in the property about local attractions within easy reach. We were lucky enough to have wonderful weather. We managed to fit in a visit to the Kelpies. Falkirk Wheel, Stirling Castle, Wallace Memorial, Dunblane Cathedral and a 2 hour cruise on Loch Lomond (I think the 2 hour one is much better than the shorter one, which doesn't go around the interesting islands). Good easy walking close by in the Plean Country Park. The only negative about the area is that Stirling is currently full of road works with diversions, making navigation difficult. Property strongly recommended !
