  The house was spacious with mostly everything you needed.

  However all recliner sofa’s in lounge were really needed to be replaced, none of them worked and sides of sofa’s gaping from main frame. This made it unable to get comfortable on any of the sofa’s. Dining seats required to re-upholstered as no support when you sat in them. Unfortunately the cleanliness did not reflect a 6 hour change over, the shower rooms required to be cleaned with mould cleaner, both tray and shower head, fan thick with dust. The towels were at one point a very good quality however they were also in need of replacement, as they were very thin due to wear and tear and very small. Kitchen was excellent, fully equipped and was clean, utility room was clean and had everything you needed. We were unable to use the games room as this was full of boxes of flat pack furniture. Also when using the garden had to clean the furniture as it was covered in cobwebs and bird poo. Overall the house met our parties needs however, the small extras received from other rentals were not there, despite this property being for 8 and we only had 3 staying. Thus we had to go out and buy toilet and kitchen roll, Would certainly use Sykes Cottages again but would not return to 15 Waters edge as the standard and quality did not reflect the price for a weeks stay. The house is situated for access by foot to Banff, Banff Links and Duffhouse Royal Golf Course.

  Calluna is a lovely property in Rockcliffe, situated off the main road but with easy access to the property by car or on foot. The private road whereon several houses are situated provides a pleasant and easy walking experience for those with mobility issues and is very accessible for those requiring wheelchair assistance out doors. The property has a lovely aura of peacefulness and nature; the garden being extremely well stocked with various trees and bushes. The kitchen is reasonably equipped with basic functional oven and affords a comfortable dining experience around the large table. Downstairs bathroom is well equipped for those with mobility issues, though the beds in the bedroom across from that bathroom are not particularly comfy . . . (in my opinion) more suited for children than adults with mobility issues. The beds in the upstairs twin room are similar but the double bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable. My elderly mum, who walks with a stick, chose to use this room rather than the downstairs bedroom. Thankfully mum was able to negotiate the stairs with the use of her stick and assistance of one person. The property is as described and I am happy to recommend it. The comments made in the 'guest book' indicate the satisfaction of other guests regarding their stay there.

  Really loved your cosy cottage and the surrounding area was simply outstanding.

  Air was clean and fresh and the garden was very peaceful. Fabulous views from every room towards the Cairngorm Mountains. The cottage had a very homely feel, really loved the Aga in the kitchen and the open fireplace in the lounge made the evenings very relaxing. It was great to have Sky tv in all the main rooms and the wi-fi worked very well. We didn't need a thing in terms of cooking equipment, bedding or towels. House is very close to Loch Insh where we enjoyed all the water sports on offer and we spent a fascinating day at the Highland Folk Museum just up the road past Kingussie. Aviemore is a great little town with a good range of shops, restaurants and supermarkets. We enjoyed a ride on the Strathspey steam train which departs from Aviemore Station thrice daily for a return trip to Broomhill. The farm shop at Rothiemurchus was also outstanding and we hired bikes for a wander up the mountains nearby. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thankyou very much for the time we spent at Baldow Cottage. We'd certainly love to return, already thinking about dates for next summer....

  We were extremely disappointed in our cottage on arrival.

  The advertisement said that it sleeps 6. Which it has enough beds for 6 and 2 bathrooms, however the sitting area and table does not accommodate a family of 6. The dining area chairs are right in front of the doors to a bedroom and makes it too hard to move, the sitting area barely seats 4, and makes it tight to walk. The cottage had cob webs, the show screen had mold and the outside table was moldy. The cottage was overpriced. At the price advertised, we expected a clean and suitably sized cottage, this was not the case at all. There wasn't even paper towel and we needed to request an extra dish cloth and tea towel. The freezer made a beeping noise if you used it, and one of the stove burners didn't work. The cottage is located on a kennel / working farm and while we were there our room backed onto the area where they were working, you could here dogs barking, people working and machinery from all times during the early morning and day. The pool was nice, however we were not provided with any extra towels. I would not recommend this cottage to anyone.

  Cottage was very well located, very central to all the main attractions of Highland Perthshire and the Cairngorms National Park.

  It was comfortable and cosy with a lovely open fire and Sky TV in a number of rooms. Facilities were good, especially the Aga but cottage would have benefitted from an additional toilet/bathroom as the cottage sleeps 6. Cottage is very spacious with lots of outdoor space but would benefit from an outdoor table and chairs in the summer months. Views are excellent from the cottage but unfortunately the land in front of the cottage is currently being developed for housing and there was a substantial amount of noise from the diggers which woke us up early some mornings. Hopefully this all be sorted soon. Make sure you ask for key collection details at least 48 hours in advance as we struggled to get them in time for our visit. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found Baldow Cottage excellent value for money, well equipped and extremely well located.
