What our customers say about their holidays

  • Kerry - Verified booking

    Ample sized two bed cottage in a charming rural setting undisturbed by neighbouring properties or light pollution.

    Access moderately ok off an unmade farm track type lane off a single track 'main road'. This matches the online description. Improvements needed to the online listing to include detail to clarify:- Cows in field directly beside one side of the cottage, separated by 3ft high chicken wire fence. Sheep in field directly beside garden at rear of cottage, also only separated by 4ft chicken wire fence behind some shrubs. Cottage garden higher than field, so the fence line appears shorter than it is. Cow field not secure, cows can get into the access lane to the cottage (we arrived home in the dark on the first night after going out for food to a cow in the headlights and trying to find its way back into its field). Previous guests have recorded in the visitor book about letting their dog run on the lane - DON'T! This isn't acceptable in this location and can worry the cattle and risks injury to them, your dog and you. Just don't do it! There's ample space at the cottage for them to run free. The top gate is best closed to keep cows out if you're travelling with children, pets or guests that are scared by large farm animals as the surrounding fields aren't properly fenced. Sykes, when providing check in details, make it clearer who the telephone number you've given actually belongs to and any 'best times to contact' so guests know they're contacting an owner and can do so at certain times without imposing on them. Well appointed cottage and more importantly overall it was very clean bar a few dog hairs under beds and on the kitchen floor that had settled from previous guests and the finishing on the wooden floors. The online listing could clarify that there's a washer / dryer and not just washing machine because having that is a bonus! A clothes airer in the property and a washing line outside in the ample garden would also be an appropriate addition. The garden furniture needs waterproof covers or direction (and access) to guests to store in the attached locked shed after use or in chances of rain. The garden is in a poor state and in places was very dangerous for some of the guests that are accepted at this property - kids and pets especially! Access to the external boiler was via overgrown grounds with established brambles which I did get various cuts and scratches from. Many broken fences, gates, plastic pots, roofs etc causing loose, partially buried or fully exposed debris around. Wire and rusty metal fixings protruding from arches, old flower / veggie beds and on steps and access paths. I had to move many due to having the dog with us. Broken glass panes and old double glazing units were also left in easy to access areas which I needed to move prior to allowing my dog access into the garden off lead. An external risk assessment should be carried out between guests during change over. All areas need seasonal maintenance tasks also undertaking to bring the plants and flowers back to life and really return this to what must once have been such a charming and beautiful 'cottage garden'. I'd love to have seen photos of what it once looked like as it was clearly someone's pride and joy. The dilapidated and dangerous wooden sheds at the entrance to the cottage need to be emptied and demolished asap. This really lets this property down and worried us immensely on our approach to our home for the week. It isn't actually an accurate reflection of the cottage itself either, which has been refurbished to an acceptable level for holiday letting. Where the big green shed with the bed and old contents from the cottage currently is would be a perfect place to install an ample sized wood store. This would be a fabulous addition to the property at minimal cost. There is plenty of wood locally that could be added to the store for future guests to make use of once dried. Badgers are active in the garden, with parts used as their latrines. This needs to be taken on board if travelling with adventurous children or dogs and should also be noted in the online listings. We had to make two makeshift gates at the garden borders during our stay, to enable the dog to enjoy parts of the superb sized garden without fear of escape into the neighbouring fields or the top derelict greenhouse and side areas as they were just too dangerous to risk access to. I travel with a fence 'kit bag', and did have to use this at the bottom of the garden to put a 6ft screen up, to ensure my dog didn't jump into the sheep field (for the birds or a run around, not for the sheep). Luckily we arrived with a few hours of daylight remaining and was able to spend the couple of hours securing the garden using the various broken gates, fences and wires found around the garden. The shower, being electric and new was totally fine for us during our stay. The bath is very American hotel in its sizing so the listing needs to be updated as it's not really suited to a 'relaxing soak'. Unfortunate heating issues with pressure and air in the system did intrude on the first few days of our stay but in no way was this issue not attended to buy Sykes and Jo, the owner. Some form of welcome pack and fire wood and kindling would have been a nice touch with the cottage being a drive away from the nearest shops. Improved outside lighting would make access safer from the parking area. Blinds in the conservatory entrance and the glazed kitchen door would also make nighttime indoors feel safer in the isolated area when you can't hear anyone approaching in the dark. I'd replace the blinds in the bedrooms and living room with lined curtains as the current blinds don't fit. The two sofas are very small and very uncomfortable and not in keeping with the lovely room. I'd replace those and the glass TV stand. Only one bedroom was made up for our stay and we needed both so had to try and find bedding to make one of the beds. All beds need new mattresses as you can feel the springs and new frames as they're all very creaky. To help save energy and therefore money, I'd reduce the number of lights in the property and also give guests details of what the heating timer and heating and water temperature is set to. Instructions on how to use the heating, check the external boiler properly and other things in the cottage would also be a good addition, as well as details of local places to visit, eat and so on. For the price range, other than the safety aspects of the garden, this is spot on. For the time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and a week of solitude and star gazing, this spot is absolutely perfect! For anyone needing a base in this area I'd highly recommend staying.

  • Roger - Verified booking

    The 4 of us have stayed in 2/3 cottages almost every year for the last 10 years and never complained about a cottage before but this one was disgusting.

    We arrived late in the afternoon with shopping we collected on the way so we could relax for the evening only to find there was nothing to wash pots up with only a teatowel no kitchen towels and only 1 toliet roll in each of the bathrooms to last for a week? I turned down the duvet on the bed on our 1st night only to find 2/3 absolutely disgusting stains on the sheets, god know what they were. I have taken photos but the beds had never even been checked on change over let alone changed. We couldn't sleep in the that bed or the other after this as we were put off so much by the lack of cleanliness. We then couldn't wash the duvets because there was no wash up items or detergents for the washing washing and being late at night there was nothing left to do but sleep in the lounge on the sofas where we then found the backs of the cushions caked in somebody else's long hair!! Only thing left was to put our coats across the cushions and then sleep on them. All the towels and the rest of the bedding didn't smell clean and certainly they wasn't freshly washed. The next morning the 1st thing we had to then do was go back 12 miles to a supermarket to buy cleaning materials so we could clean up. What a fantastic holiday this was turning out to be..NOT After taking photos of the disgusting stains on the bed sheets the rest of the week was ruined by not being able to get those thoughts out of our minds and also what else hasn't been checked or cleaned properly throughout the property. I couldn't sleep in the any of those beds and even though my wife eventually slept in a bed I spend the WHOLE week sleeping on my coat on the sofa. There were lots of other things which I can go on and on and on about but quite frankly we just disgusted and disappointed with the whole week there and this was supposed to be our 1st week away together since the Pandemic started to get some relaxation in. Surely with the current situation going on at the moment the basic cleanliness should be absolute priority, well it would be I had a cottage to rent out. Even if you paid us we would NEVER GO BACK THERE.

    Had a wonderful stay at Shaw Cottage.

    We used it as a base whilst we were viewing properties in the area. Shame this place isn't for sale, we loved it! It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We booked for two people but only one bed was made up when we arrived, so worth messaging beforehand if you need both rooms. Plenty of parking. The track to the house is a uneven but no issues if you go slow and steady (a very low car may have issues, as the description says, but I have a DS3 and it managed fine). Wonderful views from the garden. There are some area to the front that are blocked off as over grown but the lawn and parking grass areas were mowed nicely and the areas around the paths and patios were trimmed back. Lovely and peaceful place to sit out. The property does neighbour fields with livestock and there is plenty of wildlife around, we spotted many rabbits in the garden. I would recommend a long lead for dogs, so other animals are not worried and the don't enter the blocked off areas. Overal, we had a lovely time and hope to return.

    The property was beautiful and set in stunning surroundings, the views from the windows over the loch and countryside were amazing.

    The addition of the binoculars were a lovely addition. On arrival there was an awful lot of dead wood lice in the property but a quick hoover round soon dispensed with them. It was lovely and warm, with plenty of seating so everyone was comfortable. The dinning room large enough and the circular table was fabulous. The kitchen was really well equipped and always lovely to have a dishwasher and washing machine. The children and dogs enjoyed the garden and the table tennis was fun. Plenty of games for the children to play inside when it rained. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable and the bathrooms lovely. We did have one small issue, the owner was there straight away on the end of the phone trying to help solve the problem which we really appreciated. The barbeque hut was also a treat. All in all we had a fabulous stay, plenty of amazing walks and I would have no hesitation in recommending the property to other large groups / families. Thank you for a fabulous stay, its a great home from home.

  • Janice - Verified booking

    We have just returned from The Bothy in Southerness, we enjoyed both the property and the setting.

    We found the cottage to be very comfortable warm & spacious downstairs with all the necessities you would need. Upstairs the master bedroom is also quite spacious and has the convenience of an en-suite. However we found the other two bedrooms to be a little challenging as these are halve the size of the master and the ceilings slope down as these rooms are in the eves of the property. This however would not be an issue for children. This property suited us in the fact that we could have a good quality meal just round the corner at the “Paul Jones bar & grill” if we felt we didn’t want to go further afield, if however you like a more formal restaurant the “Mia Casa”on the outskirts of Dumfries would be a good choice. All in all we would recommend The Bothy to most for a good base to explore the surrounding towns and villages.
