What our customers say about their holidays

  The booking process itself through Sykes was extremely easy, quick and user-friendly.

  A comprehensive confirmation was sent to us including several details from the owners. Details of location, parking and key pickups was also provided making the arrival at the cottage very straightforward. The cottage itself was immaculate and the welcome basket was indeed very welcoming! It even included treats for our dogs! Beds were comfortable and warm with lots of wardrobe and drawer space if required. Kitchen and bathroom were both spotless and had plenty of storage. Our only niggle was the shower. The pressure was very poor and we both had to use it as a hand spray. The temperature was good though and I don’t know if perhaps we didn’t use it properly. Would suggest perhaps that it is checked out anyway. I have chosen not to mark the cottage down because of the shower though because in every other way it was perfect and I highly recommend. Thank you very much ❤️

  This is a lovely modern cottage.

  The furniture is modern with clean lines and has been thoughtfully decorated. However , is only big enough for 2 even though it states in the description that it’s big enough for 4. The bed was a bit uncomfortable, this could really do with replacing. The description is a bit misleading- the cottage is very close to the sea, but you are not able to walk on the beach because it is mainly rocks. However, a 10 minute walk brings you to a sandy/rocky beach you can walk on. I you can easily get to other areas by car. We went to Loch Ness but unfortunately didn’t see Nessy. Although parking is on a first come first served basis, we didn’t have any problems finding a space. It is on a narrow street, and you do tend to bump into the neighbours as you are coming and going, but they are very friendly (and love dogs). The welcome hamper was lovely, and appreciated by both humans and dogs ❤️

  An absolute joy staying 30th Jun for 7 nights.

  Ample room for 2 people.Spotlessly clean and all you need for your break. So peaceful and surrounded by nature which suits us fine. First day for example had a visit in front of us at lochside of a kingfisher sitting waiting for a fish which was caught and returned to its perch plus many sightings including pair of black throated divers. Plenty walks around the grounds and places of interest easy driving with breathtaking scenery. Hotel serves fab scones and coffee/tea and delicious dinner ( best to book ahead for dinner). Janetta is on hand for any problems or advice .Although we didnt require any assistance always good to know she was there for us. So thank you for your service and giving us the most relaxing break in the Boathouse Dave & Chris

  Lovely cottage and very thoughtfully kitted out to cater for holidaymakers’ (adults, children, dogs) needs.

  Note for tall people, a couple of the doorways are low. We particularly appreciated early contact from Helen, the owner, who provided information on the local public transport (we don’t drive) and kind offer to collect the basics from the local shop to save us carrying along with our luggage / the walk back up the hill. Chirnside is a good location to reach Duns or Berwick via direct bus route and Eyemouth via Pingo bus, if not driving. There are also plenty of local walks. We had a great week and would highly recommend this holiday property.

  The property is lovely.

  The only thing we found wrong with it was that the sofa bed is really uncomfortable to sit on. I would not like to think that 4 people could stay there It's ideal for 2 but that's it apart from that it was perfect. The village is lovely and surrounding area too. Facilities within Buckie are super everything you need is in buckie otherwise Elgin is only half hour or so away which is also a lovely place. The neighbours are very nice and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and will hopefully be back in the area again
