What our customers say about their holidays
Alexander - Verified booking
Quite frankly apalled by the state of the property.
Central heating was not working & we were fobbed off with a single electric fan heater. 2 of the radiators were rusty & holed, with visible rust staining from previous leaks. Bathroom door handle was hanging off & not working properly, which meant we couldn't close the door for fear of being locked in. Cleanliness was very poor & food had been left from previous users. There was a strong smell of damp throughout the property, with mold visible on the underside of the bathroom sink and cistern. Property was generally tired & in need of upgrade or replacement, which came as a shock considering the 'top dollar' fee payed. The property was not as advertised on Sykes website, certainly regarding the operational central heating system, & we took the decision not to stay for the 2nd & 3rd nights mainly over health & safety concerns due to the damp. Have raised a complaint with Sykes, which is currently being dealt with. We have plenty of photos of the state of the property, which obviously won't get across the damp smell, but they paint a picture of a property not fit for purpose. I post this as a warning to anyone thinking of staying at this property. Unless a lot of work is carried out ASAP to address the identified issues, issues which have been previously identified by othet users if you look at previous reviews, then I would recommend not using this property if you value your health. To be fair to Sykes, they are trying to resolve the issue, but the property owner does not appear to want to accept responsibility for the issues identified. This experience ruined a weekend away for me & my wife, who were visiting my 87 year old mother in the area for the weekend. We spent the 2nd day looking for somewhere else to stay, which the property owner insists does not entitle me to request or receive a refund as we never checked out at the designated checkout time. I would suggest some property owners in the area are now charging top dollar due to being on the NC500 route, & relying on single night trade, therefore not having to present their property in a good state. Just my opinion, not fact. Anyway, I will be posting these observations & opinions on as many social media sites related to NC500 & Sykes in the hope that no one else is subjected to what we have been subjected to. Quite shocking in this day & age to be fair & begs the question if Sykes carry out sufficient due diligence on properties they advertise on their website. My 1st experience with booking via Sykes would suggest not.

We were a family of 4 with one of my son in a wheelchair.
We had a good time at Pebbles cottage. The location was great, along the scenic Loch Achilty. The access into the cottage was slightly difficult for a wheelchair, but the cottage is not designed or advertised as a Wheelchair friendly one, however we liked the location so decided to go for it and managed. The property was in clean condition, the owner was very friendly and welcoming and gave us very useful suggestions about local areas to explore. She was quick to respond to anything we needed. Property is a great location for people with interest in fishing, and water adventure and for walking and exploring nature. Cottage did had some minor maintenance issues and kitchenware needs up keeping. As there were lot of dogs of guests as well as the owner around, when we visited, we had to cope up with the occasional dog mess, which could be helped with some gentle reminders for the guests to keep the lawn clean. Overall, we had a good time and would recommend.

Fantastic fantastic fantastic!
!! We had a fabulous week at Darnhay cottage. The cottage is beautiful and has a lovely modern traditional feel. The cottage is very well equipped with all mod cons such as washer and dishwasher. The owners are very welcoming and happy to help in any way. The cottage is in the middle of nowhere, which for us was lovely as it was so quiet and peaceful. There are shops, pubs and local take aways a short 5/10 mins drive away. It was a perfect base for us to stay and explore Scotland. It was 1.5 hours from Edinburgh castle which was a fantastic day out, Ayr beach is lovely and clean and an hour away from Weymiss port to catch the ferry to Bude which was a brilliant day out. As a note, I am a wheelchair user and the cottage was very easy to access due to the slope to the front door and due to the cottage being open plan it was very easy to manovre around. Highly recommended from a family of four - would definitely return!! :-)

Beautiful fresh clean cottage.
Upstairs well appointed but low combed ceilings. Watch out for the edge of the bed frame upstairs it can catch your shin by surprise! Everything necessary for a relaxed holiday is provided. The wood burning stove is so warm and welcoming and heats the whole house in no time at all. You need a car to get about but not far from Ayr to enjoy a walk on the Promenade there are plenty nice restaurants to enjoy in Ayr also. The Sorn Inn in Sorn is also very welcoming for a good hot meal. Even in October we enjoyed excellent weather and were able to sit out on the patio and enjoy a glass of wine. Great place to unwind. We all enjoyed our stay. Many thanks to the friendly owners !

The Cabin was basically clean,but very worn,with signs of damp and mould everywhere, lamp shades on bedside lights, on wood in bathroom.
When we got into bed on the first night the bedding felt very damp. The toilets where difficult to flush. Also the owners seem to have personal items in every room, allsorts in the kitchen drawers and cupboards, ear rings in the bathroom, and a couple of food items in the fridge and ice cream in the freezer. It was a wet and cold week, even by Scottish standards and the one fan heater provided was not enough. The boiler for hot water and central heating? Was running hot one minute and cold the next, we had a problem like this at home and the heat exchanger was broken. The views from the Cabin are beautiful, and wonderful sea views, the outside seating area is lovely.
