Donât expect âboutiqueâ facilities and levels of comfort. The setting is beautiful and peaceful. The location is good for seeing the Borders and especially walking. The property will be most comfortable out of winter, as the heating relies on a back boiler from the coal fire in the living room. In winter youâd need the fire on all the time. As the coal fire is essential, I think itâs undesirable that coal is not fully included and priced into the chart. You are given a starter pack and then have to request/buy more as you need it.

Unable to get refund because Skyes said we should have stayed and resolved it, but it's clear from the owners response (that they'd cleaned at midday that day) that they didn't understand the standard to which a property should be cleaned. We have multiple photos and videos of the state of the house, with walls draped in dust-filled cobwebs. Shocking. Won't use sykes again, such a shame after many years of satisfactory stays at other properties.
