What our customers say about their holidays

  This was a family holiday for 12, to celebrate our 60th Diamond Wedding Anniversary.

  Our 6 grandchildren had asked to go to Scotland, and when we found Strone House on the Sykes website we decided that was "the one". We did a preliminary visit when staying with our Scottish friends and met Julie who was totally charming and showed us round outside. We were thrilled with our choice. On arrival, we were overcome by the high standard of the property and furnishings and all the facilities..It was ideal for the grandchildren who used every facility - games room, outside badminton, sauna and of course the hot tub ( all used by adults as well!) The property was immaculate and we lacked for nothing. We were able to shower when we wanted and cook in the well appointed kitchen. Julie explained about the Aga, and we were left in no doubt how to make the best of the facilities throughout the house. Julie and Mac were perfect hosts and it is undoubtedly one of the best properties we have stayed in. We were so happy to receive a card ,flowers, chocolates and shortbread and a bottle of wine to mark are anniversary! Sykes, you have a real gem of a property on your books!!

  We all loved everything about this house, it has loads of interesting rooms with a very homely feel with loads of character.

  Our host Julie was lovely really helpful and made us all feel at home . Mac made sure we all knew about the outside spaces. Julie was particularly attentive to my mother who can have problems with stairs so a sofa bed downstairs was arranged which was perfect and cosy for her. We are a big family with some very loud voices so we were happy that we could be ourselves and relax and enjoy the property without feeling we would disturb anyone. Julie and her helpers had gone to loads of trouble setting up a birthday table for us and it was lovely for my brothers 60th celebration. It really made us feel welcome. The BBQ hut was a delight and we had fun cooking in there even though it is January it soon heated up .Hot Tub was a luxury and my mother managed to get into it at 84 years old . She also loved the Sauna as did my brother. We have some lovely photographs to by the open fire to remind us of the holiday. This was for a surprise party booking and I definitely made the right choice with Strone House. We will hopefully get back another time .

  Very much a family home which we had the privilege to share.

  Quirky beautiful 16th century property along with fascinating antique furnishings, paintings & items of interest with a library of books to choose from on wet days. Excellent position with views down the Glen from the house and garden which has a stream flowing through to Loch Lomond. The garden was bursting with Spring daffodils at the time of our visit and well maintained by our hosts Julie & Mac along with the assistance of their handyman John. Julie & Mac looked after our every need with their very well equipped house. Showing us how use the facilities of the BBQ house, sauna & hot tub. Along with the hot tub the children and adults enjoyed the well equipped games room and out door swing ball and badminton. A great house for hide & seek. A nice ‘Julie’ touch being torches on each child’s bed along with water pistols for outdoor use. A great venue to enjoy with family and friends in a beautiful part of Scotland. Thank you Julie & Mac.

  Strone house is a "get away from it all" home from home.

  Mac and Julie are very accommodating and considerate hosts. Hot tub and sauna are fab facilities as is the games room that is full of every game you could imagine so something for everyone. The garden is beautiful and again equipped with outdoor sports. Lovely treats left for the 3 dogs that were with us too so they felt spoiled. Downside to the property is there is no mention of the rooster starting his daily alerts between 2 and 4am so often we were all up before 5am. Location of the cot room is above the fire place (needs a clear out as the smoke enters the room, however cleared with the doors open) so the smoke rises through the ceiling which is not ideal for a baby, simple solution is to have the cot room on the other side of the house. All in all the 10 of us enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone looking to get away from everyday life to come here

  We had a Golden Wedding party here and it was simply wonderful!

  The house is amazing and the gardens, with flamboyant peacocks strutting around, are lovely - not to mention the hot tub, which was well used by the immediate family who were staying at the house. The owners, Julie and Mac are incredible. They just couldn't do enough for us and even went to the trouble of arranging the parking for 70/80 guests for the Saturday night party! We decorated the house with fairy lights and lit the huge log fire in the elegant drawing room. Our daughters, who had organised the whole event, arranged for there to be a hog roast outside (such a good idea!), a live band and a film screening on a loop. Our party guests had a great time and loved everything about the house. It was an amazing experience and we thank Julie and Mac for all they did to make our stay so memorable.
