What our customers say about their holidays
Lynsey - Verified booking
Cardean Mill is a beautiful holiday cottage surrounded by lovely scenery.
Did we enjoy our stay? Yes when it came to spending time with the family. Would we return? Probably not. I would rather leave a very honest account of our stay as I think there were some aspects of it I wouldâve liked to have known prior to booking. First and foremost, know that the owners live on the grounds too. The only thing separating the two properties is the old mill. Donât get me wrong, Steve (the owner) was very welcoming and happy to answer any questions we had however, itâs a shared driveway so when they had guests over at night and we were sitting outside the front, you felt like you were on display plus when I collected the washing off the washing line they were all sitting in their conservatory which looks onto the washing line so again, you feel all eyes on you. When it comes to washing, yes there is a washing machine but there is no tumble dryer - I understand this as electricity is through the roof, but when you have six peoples clothes to dry on just one small clothes horse it can be frustrating. We were lucky that there were days the weather was kind so if you are visiting in the winter bear this in mind. The WiFi was very weak. We had four teenagers with us so Iâm sure you can imagine the frustration. Yes, we werenât there to be on phones/tablets but in the evening if we wanted to watch a movie (the dvd selection is quite dated) we had to use my sons PlayStation to log onto Netflix, however the connection would buffer a lot. The couches/chairs in the living room we found very uncomfortable so with the combination of WiFi and uncomfortable couches we spent every evening playing Uno which we do love to do so itâs not a bad thing, again I would just rather leave an honest review. The first morning we had a power cut. Living very rural ourselves we are prone to these so it was something we could get on with (although itâs awful when you are gasping for a cuppa!) but my husband had to go to the owners a couple of times (the first time no answer) to find out when we could expect it back on (they had been informed by Scottish power) so we wouldâve thought they would come let us know. Steve did pop round when it came back on to check all was ok. The pub, which they say is less than a mile away only does food on a Friday and Saturday, not every night. The cottage overall was clean, but there were an awful lot of cobwebs and spiders that look like daddy long legs. My daughter is terrified of spiders so that gave her the heebie-jeebies! The kitchen window and velux on the landing were particularly bad as well as the wicker hearts hanging in rooms. My husband loves a bath, this is how he relaxes so he was ecstatic when he saw the rolltop bathtub in the main bathroom. We had two nights before said teenagers arrived so he wanted to make full use of the bathtub. Unfortunately it does not fill all the way with hot water as the water runs cold a quarter of the way up and that is without any showers being had that same day. Needless to say he was disappointed and didnât bother trying again. The âoutside play areaâ is literally a slide, a swing and hanging rope. Not âslidesâ and âswingsâ as quoted in the description. The gazebo is also still in the pictures but not in the garden. The scenery is beautiful. The walk through the garden is lovely and our dog was loving life. The house itself was ok, plenty of room for all of us so that was good. As I said the scenery was beautiful and the house looks stunning from the outside and is fine on the inside. Everybody looks for different things from their holiday. We did have a lovely time away, I just feel for the price we paid we expected more.

This I am afraid has already been discussed with Sykes and the owners .
This property was an Airbnb and this was never mentioned at all in the Sykes itinerary. Since further investigation it is on Airbnb website which directs you to Sykes. I have never booked an Airbnb before due to the nature of the contract and that itâs someoneâs home, I have had negative outcome from Sykes cottages more of less suggesting that what I was stating was untruths .. There was food left in freezer mince dated 3:8:23 but the owners have said this is untrue, i have not made this up.. no pat testing, books at the side of bed, wellington boots in hallway very strange if thatâs not an Airbnb I donât know what is !!! In time Sykes will understand and I am sure have more negativity with this accommodation on their books time will tell ,. The Scottish government have now brought in new laws that requires adaptation to properties such as this which I am sure you all ready know, if not you need to do some research. I have read reviews on your company since and even when people have provided evidence on their issues raised you have ignored .. simply not acceptable at all. This company has taken its finger off the ball!!! I would not recommend at all and will be mentioning this on as many platforms as possible

We had an excellent 3 nights in the Tower, everyone loved the high quality of the furnishings and decor which were in period. The rooms were all spacious and comfortable and the beautifully decorated stairs and hallways/landings plus the use of the red drawing room made us feel as if we were staying in our own stately home. The kitchen was well equipped and modern although a microwave might have been useful. The estate team were very helpful and even provided us with a bbq to use in the magnificent front garden, what a stunning location to have a family meal! The only reason I've given a rating of 4 stars and not 5 is that when we booked Penninghame's website needed to be updated as the Tower rooms had been reconfigured, this caused a lot of confusion but issues were resolved promptly and I believe the website will be updated soon. Overall a fantastic stay, thank you.

We loved this property.
It's set in peaceful surroundings and has everything you need. The house is huge with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. One of the bedrooms having an en-suit. The beds are comfy too. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need. The cooker and oven is easy to use. There's even a warming plate thingy but we didn't use it. There are two conservatories, one of which is a games room with a pool table. This has to be the best property we have stayed at. There are narrow roads to get to the property and you drive through the owners farm. It's very quiet. The town of Darvel is just over a mile away and has convenience shops. Kilmarnock is a twenty minutes drive. Good size kitchen and family bathroom, utility room and beautiful garden. Huge driveway also. We loved the property so much, we have booked again next year. The owners are friendly too.

Historic house located in a stunning, peaceful and private position with outstanding views.
Spacious and comfortable for us. Washbasins in each bedroom are good extras beyond the two bathrooms. Feels more like being in someone's home than a holiday let and the house must be much loved by the owners. Excellent safe parking and garden with grazing sheep in the adjacent fields/hillside. Excellent coastal, loch side and remote/mountain walking from the house or within a relatively short drive. Arisaig and Mallaig very near allowing access to ferries/boat trips to the surrounding islands. Beach a short walk away. It was exceptionally cold during our visit (in early March - minus 5 degrees overnight plus snow) so the heating system was at full stretch, when we arrived back after our days out, to cope and the rear family bedroom in particular was hard to keep warm. Locals informed us this weather was indeed exceptional.
