What our customers say about their holidays
Julie - Verified booking
Unfortunately we didn't receive a very warm welcome.
We booked the cottage in Jan and it was listed as dog friendly so we booked and paid for our small dog to come too. When I called to get key info the day before our arrival the owner said it would be ready for 4 and they would be in the door. (listing said ready for 3, but hey ho). She said she was busy and would come to see us on Mon morning. We arrived just after 4 and had just un packed the car when the owner turned up. On seeing our dog who was just sniffing around getting her bearings, the owner proceeded to tell us dogs not allowed in the bedrooms, hadn't we read their policy, had we brought blankets to cover the furniture at which point I said she doesn't go on the furniture. She then proceeded to tell us how much damage people and their dogs had caused and that was why she was no longer a dog friendly accommodation. All this time she stood with the patio door open, I asked twice if she wouldn't mind closing it so that our dog couldn't get out as the large gate onto the road was open. This was ignored and so I had to take my dog into the kitchen. We didn't receive any instructions on how to operate equipment at the property or how to find the badger cam that we'd read about. No friendly recommendations of nice places to go. The only info shared was negativity about our dog and how we must shower before using the hot tub. Just as well it is no longer dog friendly as the fields surrounding the cottage were beautiful and full of animals, but unfortunately no pavements on the road and no paths explained or found where we could walk the dog. On another subject we found it odd that there was a full sized dishwasher but only 4 cups, 4 plates 4 bowls 4 side plates. Very nice that the crockery was Denby, but again a negative note in the cupboard warning that any chips or cracks would be chargeable. Even worse that the kitchen sink was pot. Simple white crockery in abundance would have been preferable and more conducive to a relaxing break. We felt she had her priorities wrong and would have appreciated settees with more comfortable and supportive cushions. One of the seats in the jacuzzi was brown and the plastic coating was peeling off so we couldn't use it. It would have been helpful if there had been a folder with information about how to take the cover off the jacuzzi, how to turn it on and off, information about the area, the WiFi code, how to control the heating, restaurants to go to, the badger cam etc. Instead we were insulted and made to feel uncomfortable, tarred with a brush meant for others who had previously caused damage.

Prior to our trip to Scotland, Roxane the host, phoned in advance to ask what we would like in our welcome pack and what activities we were interested in so she could e-mail details in advance.
Having stayed in numerous holiday cottages over the years, this is the first time weâve had a welcome call and thought it was a lovely gesture. Directions to the cottage arenât clear on the Sykes website but we phoned Roxane and she guided us in. Verdi cottage is bijou, but very well appointed with quality furnishings. Freshly cut flowers, bathrobes and fluffy white towels, give it a luxurious feel. I am not a dog lover and when a cottage is advertised as âdog friendlyâ I am normally wary, but I neednât have been. Verdi is spotlessly clean with not even the slightest whiff of dog. The welcome pack was without doubt the best we have had in a holiday cottage. Full of fresh quality local produce and bottle of good quality wine . The bathrooms are lovely and are serviced by a huge boiler which meant we always had an abundance of high pressure hot water. The main bedroom is advertised as having a super-king bed, but it is in fact king-sized. While we were staying we asked for extra towels and a couple of items that were missing in the kitchen. They were provided without question. The cottage has access to a lovely side garden with a table, chairs and BBQ. There is also a separate laundry house with washer, dryer, detergent and an abundance of spares (cleaning fluid, bin liners, toilet rolls etc.) We also had access to a log store and Athol, the owner, offered us use of his golf clubs. All at no extra cost ! Roxane, Athol and their family live in the house across the courtyard and were on hand to recommend local activities and places to eat. We spent most of the week in and around Loch Tay at Kenmore, which is stunning and great for water sports and open water swimming. A tip for those visiting the area is not to assume that you can just walk in to a pub or restaurant and get a drink/ meal. Many places are suffering from post-Covid staff shortages and are closed for part of the week. The Inn on the Tay and the Grandtully Hotel are both very good, but booking several days ahead is essential if you want to eat anywhere half decent. The hosting most definitely made our stay at Verdi cottage, nothing was too much trouble and we felt like part of the family for the week we stayed. We were genuinely sad to leave and will definitely return.

Verde Cottage is a beautiful home from home.
Fixtures and fittings were good quality and the welcome package was very much appreciated after a long journey. Host was very informative, friendly and we loved the dogs too. *Bed was comfy and lots of storage in the room. *Lounge seating was also very comfy and the TV package was better than anywhere else we'd stayed. Watching a movie or the latest sports, in the evening was a great way to unwind after a busy day. *Bathroom downstairs had a big bath which my husband loves. The only issue was the ceiling being a little mouldy (probably needs better ventilation over the shower) and the sink taps were very stiff. *Kitchen was well equipped and the mobile island made up for the lack of worktop space for dishing up etc.. *Outside space was better at the front. The rear entrance door lock was very stiff so we didn't use the outside space to the rear, which could be a lovely private space for outside dining or reading etc.. *Location was spot on and right near the river where you can paddle or watch people canoeing. A very short walk to the nearest shop and pub/restaurant. All we could hear was birds chirping and the river rushing. It's also a great place for star gazing. It's so dark at night we could see so many stars. I could've stayed out all night if I had a telescope. Exactly what we needed and couldn't have predicted the sunny hot weather which also helped.

Little Dunbar Cottage presents as a charming cottage in a beautiful rural location.
We enjoyed our holiday but Little Dunbar cottage itself was a disappointment. The main bedroom stank of damp, we opened the window and slept there the first night but it was not a good night sleep. For anyone with any respiratory problem I would say this room would be a health hazard. We switched to the twin room which was much better in terms of there not being damp but we were occasionally disturbed through the night by possibly either squirrels or bats in the ceiling. The shower of the main bedroom didnât drain and so you had to shower in a few minutes before it would flood, there was evidence of damp in this room and the toilet seat was only partly secured to the toilet seat. The cottage had an air of neglect rather than one of comfort. In the living room there was no coffee table or side tables so if you were having a cup of tea or glass of wine there was nowhere to put your cup or glass down. We were provided with 2 towels but no hand towels or bath mats. There was no hairdryer either. There was contact numbers given so we could have voiced our concerns but itâs not what I want to be spending my energies on when Iâm on holiday. We have booked through Sykes several times and have always been happy with the cottages weâve booked, this cottage was not up to the standard that we would expect.

So difficult to give a review for various reasons.
There are negatives and also very strong positives. We arrived at Little Dunbar Cottage around 4pm on Monday 30 October. There was no central heating available, the cottage was stone cold and no hot water. We managed to get the log fire burning within 10 minutes of arrival but had no hot water. We then rang the owners who were so quick in sorting out our issues. They gave us the option to move to a cottage closer to the beach, which was only 400 yards away and provided us with everything we needed, and was also much more in our expectations for the quality we expect from Sykes. The hosts could not have been more helpful and were most understanding. The cottage we moved to was quite idyllic - being only 400 metres from the beach. I suspect that Little Dunbar Cottage would be lovely in the summer. In the winter it would need some attention so as to make it a quiet retreat. I would certainly recommend the area and the owners of these properties, but would check carefully as to the state of Little Dunbar Cottage
