What our customers say about their holidays

Sean - Verified booking

I booked this cottage based on the description of it being isolated, only to find out a week before our holiday started, that in actual fact, the owner lives right next door to the holiday cottage.

This information is not stated in the description anywhere. Had I known, I wouldn't have booked it at all. I have booked countless holiday cottages with various booking sites in the past. Not once have I had to have a 'Meet & Greet' with the owner. The key code is normally sent via email a few days pre-holiday start date , you simply turn up, put the code in, job done. After all, there is always a handy information book somewhere - should you need it. Having said this, the owner living next door wouldn't normally bother me IF we were left alone. Let's just say that the lengthy 'Meet & Greet' felt uncomfortably awkward... Indeed, having just pulled up outside, the owner seemingly appeared from nowhere, and we were immediately told to move our camper van in case her husband needed to park his car in the garage (adjoining the holiday property.) Then we were asked where our son was, and if he was getting out the van. We'd literally just pulled up! Maybe he was asleep? Maybe he didn't want to get out at that exact moment? Perhaps she thought we were hiding a few other people in there? Back to the farcial 'Meet & Greet, and let me assure you, no stone was left unturned as the owner ascertained we knew EXACTLY what was expected of us. After the owner had completed her award-winning spiel, we cautiously entered the property, feeling slightly miffed, and highly cautious - should we dislodge a fibre on the new beige carpet, or our little dog decided to jump on to the new sofa, or much worse, enter a bedroom! The cottage itself is lovely. Credit where credit is due - it's absolutely spotless. It's definitely the most well equipped cottage we have stayed in. Unfortunately, this doesn't end here. The owner popped up another THREE times during our stay. The first time (to be fair) was to warn us that the local farmers were shooting the birds in the fields as they had planted new crops. Okay, no one wants to be shot on holiday... The second time we had left the radiators on in the games room - the same games room we thought was for our exclusive use during our stay (also adjoining the holiday property, externally.) It didn't say in the holiday description that the owner and her tennis buddies may enter it at will if rain ruins their game. Wonder what would have happened if we had actually been in the games room at the time. Would we have been expected to vacate it? By the third visit, we were feeling very tired of our lack of privacy. We just wanted to be left alone to enjoy our 'isolated' holiday. Oh, and I should also mention there is no curtain hanging behind the glass-paned front door. The owners go back and forth to their garage for various reasons and can see straight in! Indeed, within minutes of our departure (carefully planned and executed escape, not on departure day), we got a text. The owner must have literally been looking through the door/windows to have known we had left! Sorry, but I won't be coming back, and in the future, I will make careful enquiries about the holiday cottages we pay hard-earned money for.

Beautiful rural cottage set in gorgeous countryside.

Perfect for a peaceful break, lots of walks right on the doorstep. Brilliant large garden/paddock for our dog - great that he could have a good run (the owners have 2 labradors who Basil loved!) Good facilities, well equipped kitchen, immaculately clean. Games room was great, we loved being able to have use of these facilities on a regular basis. Suggestions: Although we had a lovely time, a few things could easily be done to just make it that bit more relaxing. Advertised as dog friendly at Â£15 supplement (we have a 2 year old large golden doodle) - on arrival Jane met us and dropped in the conversation that dogs are not allowed in the bedrooms at all and need to be kept out and kept off all furniture. Although we managed with this, it was not what we expected when booking a dog friendly cottage and paying a Â£15 supplement for taking dogs? It could cause an issue for some dogs that may be used to sleeping in the owners room. We understand the need to keep furniture clean and in good condition. It would be more relaxing to be fully dog friendly but advertise that owners bring blankets/large throws (if your dog is used to being near you) and these are used instead of trying to keep them out of bedrooms. Secondly, although the owners home is next door, this isn't something that would stop me booking a holiday. However, the fact that there feels like a lack of privacy could easily be rectified. The owners are in and out of the attached garage to the cottage every day (8am on Easter Monday the garage door was opened and woke us up). We then received a text message shortly after to tell us that we left a light on and ensure we don't do it again. Even though the cottage is beautiful and the owners are very welcoming, I felt a sense of being on edge incase we did something wrong, we kept the curtains shut in the kitchen as they would be able to see straight in when walking to and from the garage or using the shared washing line (outside the lounge window).

Brian - Verified booking

The person who left -ve feedback relating to their holiday in March 2023 obviously didn't do any research in terms of the cottage location.

The map on Sykes website accurately identifies the cottage being close to Fogo. It doesn't take much skill to identify the location of the cottage and its surroundings on Google Maps Satellite view which clearly shows there are four properties at this location. This is our second holiday at Courtyard Cottage (our first being in September 2021). A personal welcome from the owner(s) is much better ( in our opinion) than arriving at a property which uses an impersonal key safe. The owners of Courtyard Cottage are very nice people and we have found their local knowledge to be invaluable. It's inevitable, given the owners live next door, that guests will see them from time to time particularly when the owners are out gardening or carrying out maintenance. We don't see this as being an issue. My only criticism is the property details on Sykes website does not state that guests do not have exclusive use of the games room and tennis court. We haven't gone to Courtyard Cottage twice now because it has these facilities (we're senior citizens). We go because we love the Borders area of Scotland. Most Border towns are within easy driving range of the cottage (as are Holy Island, Keilder Forest). I think the fact that we have spent two holidays at Courtyard Cottage speaks volumes and we have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to others.

Frank - Verified booking

Absolutely superb property and a lovely host Liz.

We have had an absolutely perfect holiday at Grooms Cottage. The cottage was spotless and very well looked after, there is everything you could ever need, especially in the kitchen. Loads of different pots and pans etc. Even had colour coded chopping boards.. Lounge has 2 nice comfy sofas and a good size TV. Beds were very comfy. Benefits from having both a bath and shower. Enclosed garden outside with a brand new BBQ. Set in further lovely tranquil frounds. We could not find a single fault with the property at all...its fabulous ..and we will certainly return when we can. The location is quite remote and a car is needed to get around the area but we knew that before arriving and was one of the reasons we chose it. It is easy to get to loads of different places such as Edinburgh, North Berwick ( lovely little fishing town), Holy Island, Eyemouth to name a few. Most relaxed holiday we've had in ages... We would highly recommend grooms cottage to anyone. Thank you Liz, we hope to see you again soon.

Joanna - Verified booking

This cottage is comfortably set up for four adults and a dog and is set in pretty surroundings close to the border towns and coast.

There are a couple of pubs a co op and a fish and chip shop nearby. My main concern was the cleaning of the property considering the check in and out times. First impressions were a dark courtyard covered in leaves with 2 old wooden chairs and some plant pots with dead plants in them.The front door mat was worn away and the steps were filthy as were the doorways and windows.There was no mat inside the door so we kept walking in leaves and muddy footprints.The house was dusty and had lots of cobwebs,the oven was dirty and the shower needed a good clean.It was also quite cold in the evening as only one heater was working downstairs and didn't give out much heat. Overall the cottage itself is very nice but it needs some care and attention to the little details to make it a more pleasant place to stay.
