  We really enjoyed our stay in this little hideaway.

  The views are stunning, the hot-tub is a real treat and the peace and quiet is wonderful. The surrounding area is beautiful and there are plenty of places to walk or bike, depending on your preference. There are also lots of places to visit within a reasonable distance. Considering how secluded the property is, it's actually really not that far from a major road, so it feels very accessible. The owners were incredibly helpful and despite the close proximity of their house, we never felt intruded upon. The only slight negatives would be the cramped bedrooms and bathroom. Don't get me wrong, this place has been designed very carefully to make maximum use of the space, but we have quite a few bruises from knocking into furniture. It wasn't enough to dampen our enthusiasm, but if the outside space hadn't been there (the deck is sheltered so you can sit out even when it rains) I think we'd have felt pretty claustrophobic. That being said, we knew it would be compact when we booked as the listing and photos give you a good idea of what to expect.

  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

  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 !

  This is a beautiful place, in an amazing setting.

  It was clean and had everything you would need for a peaceful holiday, with the option to try lots sporting activities locally. We saw deer and a golden Eagle from the lodge which we were made up with. The only downside was having to heat the hot tub with a log burner, which takes hours and not too toddler friendly. My husband has been struggling with mobility issues and was unable to be up and down the decking, to do so. But aside from this it is such a lovely place to stay with unbelievable views and we thoroughly enjoyed our week. Thank you.
