  Our second Sykes' cottage booking this year - this last minute break did not disappoint.

  A lovely cottage that has been thoughtfully renovated and designed. Lots of space, the kitchen and dining room were both really nice and the lounge was equally good - very comfy sofas! The downstairs shower room was well equipped and modern and the upstairs bathroom was also very smart. The 2 bedrooms were large with good sized beds. Lots of storage space for everything we took with us. The cottage had everything anyone would need. We took our own towels and used our own condiments/foil/cling film/cooking oil etc, but we didn't need to, the kitchen drawers and cupboards had so many items for people to use. We ate in at night, as we were out every day - it was nice and relaxing to be in MuirMailing for a week away. Wendy was lovely, very helpful -also really nice to see the ponies going out on the field when it wasn't too wet and the dogs were so well behaved. A really great place to stay - 40 minutes from Edinburgh - lovely walks around Stirling Castle and Edinburgh, plus the country park nearby. Would highly recommend

  A wonderful stay.

  The home was bright airy, beautiful view, especially from the upstairs bedrooms, which were spacious clean, by far exceeded our expectations. The owner of the cottage couldn't do enough for us, as far as suggestions for worth seeing areas, directions, even helped us with a dilemma regarding another booking a week later.. She went above and beyond. We loved the farm atmosphere, the owner was a champ with the animals, absolutely nothing we could say remotely negative. We give this a 10 plus.... best cottage we have ever rented, and we've rented quite a few in Europe. Thanks Wendy, you were a champ, and you were so very helpful in all respects. The four of us loved the stay.

  What a brilliant property to rent (2 adults, teenager and 11 year old).

  Travel and key instructions sent few days before holiday began and property was very easy to find following these (used the what3words). Met by owners on arrival who showed us round the property and how things worked, and they checked everything was fine during the week we were there. Property was clean, well equipped and plenty of space, even the mattresses in all bedrooms were comfortable. Lovely quiet location with such a lovely view from the back garden and was able to use the chiminea provided to toast marshmallows one evening (not the best of weather whilst we were there) and central for our trips out (Oban, Loch Katrine and Bracklin Falls to name a few).

  Muirmailing Cottage is one of the best cottages we’ve ever stayed in (and we have stayed in lots over the years).

  The cottage was lovely, comfortable and very well-equipped. You could tell a lot of careful thought had gone into the facilities and equipment. The owners, who live on the same site, were friendly and helpful but not intrusive, and we enjoyed the lovely setting complete with a beautiful flower garden, and the company of their friendly dogs and cat. Although the location was very peaceful and rural, there are plenty of interesting places to visit within a very easy driving distance, from Edinburgh and Glasgow, Falkirk, Linlithgow and Stirling to the lochs and mountains of the Trossachs. We had a wonderful week and definitely hope to return.

  We enjoyed our stay in this property.

  The facilities provided are numerous and many details provided in the guide. However we found that there were instructions missing for various items such as the air fryer, tv. We found that the lounge suite was very soft and low so once in it was difficult to get up again. That maybe personal choice and perhaps a bit picky but we weren’t able to relax properly. The access to the property is on a farm track with ruts and hollows so needs care. The owners were available by phone which was great and very helpful. Sadly due to various circumstances, we were unable to meet but they were very helpful over the phone.
