What our customers say about their holidays

  My recommendation score of zero is relating to Sykes cottages, rather than the actual property.

  I had originally booked this cottage for another date. Something cropped up and rather than cancel the booking I asked to move the date, which was duly done. However, my original booking had a cost of over £700 for the week. The revised date had a cost of £450. Sykes cottages continued to charge me the full amount! So, had the reverse been the case, would I have only had to pay £450 for a £700 week? I doubt it! I challenged this and Sykes tried to say that the matter was up to the owner... and refused to discuss it further. I booked this cottage through Sykes, not the owner. This should have been dealt with by Sykes. Needless to say, I will NEVER book another stay through Sykes Cottages. Customers beware. The actual cottage was located in a gorgeous setting with spectacular views. Inside the cottage, although comfortable, the facilities are dated and this property would benefit from investment. Particularly the hot tub and sauna area - very dated.

  This is a very nice first floor apartment in a good location.

  We found it warm & comfortable with most things we needed provided. A better kitchen knife would be most useful. There was only a tiny paring knife & a very long carving knife, both of which were totally blunt & so not at all effective. However we managed, another time I would bring a knife just in case. The only other thing to mention is that the bath/shower drainage hole was almost completely blocked, water taking a very long time to drain away. I had to remove a very large amount of matted hair & 'gunk' from the drain, There was a high strength drain clearing gel (well used) in the cupboard so I think this must have been a problem for a while! Perhaps mention to the cleaner that this should be regularly cleared of hair? Overall a good place to stay which would be improved with these minor changes.

  An absolute joy staying 30th Jun for 7 nights.

  Ample room for 2 people.Spotlessly clean and all you need for your break. So peaceful and surrounded by nature which suits us fine. First day for example had a visit in front of us at lochside of a kingfisher sitting waiting for a fish which was caught and returned to its perch plus many sightings including pair of black throated divers. Plenty walks around the grounds and places of interest easy driving with breathtaking scenery. Hotel serves fab scones and coffee/tea and delicious dinner ( best to book ahead for dinner). Janetta is on hand for any problems or advice .Although we didnt require any assistance always good to know she was there for us. So thank you for your service and giving us the most relaxing break in the Boathouse Dave & Chris

  Little Danescroft is situated in the perfect spot, and Helen is a lovely host!

  The cottage itself is well equipped with everything you might need for your stay. It's warm, cosy and has the most spectacular views of Ben Nevis and Fort William. On a sunny morning there is no better place to have your coffee than on the lovely little patio! The cottage sits on a steep, sloping driveway which makes parking a little awkward. I also have a very slight mobility issue so found walking up and down the drive difficult. The television requires upgrading, we couldn't watch any of the ITV channels, and BBC is limited too. These few issues aside, we had a lovely week in Corpach, its a beautiful area to visit!

  Alba Ben View cottage, Spen Bridge.

  Without a doubt this is one of the best, comfortable cottages we have stayed in (we have stayed in many, over the last few years). The owners Eric & Jo, welcomed us on arrival, and throughout our stay were most helpful and accommodating, with tips where to go and visit, and routes with good views, and local history. The views from the large picture windows, of the snow covered mountains were amazing, and changes to the sky super, even in the rain. We felt we had made new friends, and hope to return again in the summer. Marjorie & James from West Yorkshire.
