What our customers say about their holidays

  We really loved this cottage and its very peaceful, rural setting.

  The dogs also really loved the well contained garden with lots of room to run about on grass. We have a wood burner at home and used the stove every evening which took the chill off a few of the nights. Although shared with the owner, there was plenty of off-road parking. The kitchen also had everything a short stay would require: with a large fridge with freezer, microwave, cooker/oven, dishwasher and washing machine, and lots of pots, pans, crockery etc. A couple of suggestions though... we found the TV to be too small in relation to the room size and the position of the sofa/chairs. Yes, they could be moved, but with the wood stove, it would be far more appropriate and safer to look at a TV upgrade and possibly a wall mounted one. The free view channel option was a tad limiting given the sky connection with many channels being unavailable. We watched dvds most nights... The double bed mattress was comfortable, but the pillows were a bit thin. We suggest four new pillows are bought along with mattress and pillow protectors. Overall, this is a great cottage. We really enjoyed our stay and toured as far as Melrose Abbey to the east and Drumlanrig Castle to the south west, and lots of places inbetween.

  It was a lovely house with a beautiful garden and we have enjoyed our holiday very much.

  The owners of the cottage were very nice and friendly people. What we missed however was some more information about the facilities and what you can do (without a car) in the surroundings, if you can walk or bike there. Around Wiston were not so many possibilities for walking and biking because there were only big roads. We discovered New Lanard, where we could go by bus, that was a very nice and beautiful place to walk and where we could do all the shoppings ( in Lanard), but we did not know it in advance. More information about were we can walk, do the shoppings, rent a bike, public transport would have been convenient. There was a busstop in Wiston but not a direct connection between Edinghburg and Wiston. We came by bus from Edingburgh, asked the busdriver to stop in Wiston (where he passed) but he didn't know were it was, missed Wiston and stopped 2 miles further. So we were dropped with all the lugage in the middle of nowhere. We could only get some information after we booked and payed and the owner also didn't know everything, because he has a car and is not used to go by bus or bike.

  Unfortunately, our van broke down on the afternoon we set off for Sweetpea Cottage and given that it was a Bank Holiday we could only hire a car from Campbeltown 25 miles away.

  I managed to get a lift to pick up the car and we hurriedly transferred our luggage and set off to Sweetpea and arrived quite late. The worst thing was the car hire could only be arranged for 24 hour maximum period so we were only able to stay one night at the cottage before we had to return home and take the hire car back. As a result my ratings for the cottage are based on only a few hours stay. The owner was very welcoming and friendly and was sympathetic to our unfortunate predicament. The location was quiet and the gardens extensive with good walks nearby which we could only enjoy for a very short period due to our time shortage.

  We absolutely loved our stay at Sweetpea cottage and would definitely book again!

  It is cozy but it still spacious enough with two dogs and the enclosed garden was perfect for our dogs. It had everything we needed, the only issue we had was a few minor accidents when using woodburner due to lack of gloves or tools, it gets very hot! Also if you are a sensitive sleeper there was a low humming noise which could be heard during the night and we could not work out the source, maybe from the main house as we switched everything off! But nothing a good pair of ear plugs wouldn't solve otherwise it was a very peaceful and relaxing stay, you would hardly know there was a house next door x

  Had a great time at Sweet Pea cottage this weekend.

  Danny was very welcoming & came across like nothing would be too much trouble. Although the cottage is attached to the main house we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere as we were never disturbed. The cottage was very clean & tidy with no problems. A few older reviews state the cottage is not what you see in the pictures but I can say this is not the case. We didn't find a single fault in our 3 night stay. The location is great if you want peace & quiet with fantastic backdrops of the hills & surrounding areas. This is a place I would definitely go back to.
