    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Leanne - Verified booking

      We (2ad and 4ch age 7-11) had a wonderful stay at this cottage.

      From the pictures I wasn’t sure if it was two cottages side by side but it’s all the one cottage, so was a relief. Wonderful location, right on the beach. Great size garden, half of which is stoned incase you need to park the car. Dog hated the stones but luckily there was a path she could use to get to the grass lol. A washing line too which was fantastic. A nice view onto a field with horses too. The house inside was great, a brilliant size. The main bedroom was beautiful and spacious. The other bedrooms were great too. The kitchen, though small, was fine for our needs and had lots of utensils which was great. The house is situated on a path which leads to the beach so there are lots of people passing. This wouldn’t be a problem but our dog barks at people constantly so if I would’ve known, I may have avoided this property (glad I didn’t!) but just incase this is an issue for someone. We got cold at times, especially in the evening and at night. The heating is timed, so could do with a wee heater to use for the bedrooms, especially the main bedroom. Maybe some extra pillows and blankets too for us with no blood. The shower base filled quite quickly so may need looked at. The bath plug was hard to get out too…we used my sons plastic arrow set lol to stick to the plug then pull it out. Enjoyed a few baths. The beach is weird. I’m sure there is history regarding it. There are bouts of sand, dry and wet, severe muddy sand and loads of bricks and rocks. The kids just loved going for walks along the beach. We done it morning noon and night. Take a torch!! Maybe wellies or decent walking boots too. The only one downside was there is no local shop, so it was quite a trek to just get milk etc so stock up on supplies when you go to the supermarket. We would return in a heartbeat. The games in the cottage were great, I got halfway through a jigsaw! Just ideal, and thoroughly recommended.

      Where to start.

      After coming to powfoot for over 30 years this is the worst place we have stayed. The cottage is damp filled, we had to leave 2 days early as we felt it took unsafe to sleep in Each room was outdated, filthy cobwebs dust dirty carpets, wall, under the seats. The bathrooms both had mould, again indicative of damp problems, disgusted by air fresheners No dryer, on rainy days all to be had was radiators, making towels and clothing stink of damp. Spilt food from previous rentals found under cooker when sweeping. Airing cupboard which housed vacuum and mop, filthy, covered with dog hair. We have photos of all we have highlighted taken on our 2nd day Our holiday ruined and our budget. Terrible service from the owner, only contact was a cleaner who clearly doesn't do their job Complaint raised with Sykes on the Sunday 4th August, who said they'd contact the owner and still yet to hear back from them. Review left on trip advisor and intent to seek legal action Disgusting at best. We are NHS frontline staff, time together is rare and precious, we have a disabled child, so this should have been our safe, comfy, quiet space, ruined by the misrepresentation of a not so lovely cottage and sub standard service.

    • James - Verified booking

      Really loved your cosy cottage and the surrounding area was simply outstanding.

      Air was clean and fresh and the garden was very peaceful. Fabulous views from every room towards the Cairngorm Mountains. The cottage had a very homely feel, really loved the Aga in the kitchen and the open fireplace in the lounge made the evenings very relaxing. It was great to have Sky tv in all the main rooms and the wi-fi worked very well. We didn't need a thing in terms of cooking equipment, bedding or towels. House is very close to Loch Insh where we enjoyed all the water sports on offer and we spent a fascinating day at the Highland Folk Museum just up the road past Kingussie. Aviemore is a great little town with a good range of shops, restaurants and supermarkets. We enjoyed a ride on the Strathspey steam train which departs from Aviemore Station thrice daily for a return trip to Broomhill. The farm shop at Rothiemurchus was also outstanding and we hired bikes for a wander up the mountains nearby. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thankyou very much for the time we spent at Baldow Cottage. We'd certainly love to return, already thinking about dates for next summer....

      Home from home!

      Beautiful property in an excellent position for exploring Kelso and The Borders. The apartment is amazing. Lots of beautiful touches and soft furnishings to make your stay a luxurious one. The lovely owner is on hand if you need anything…which is always reassuring. Brilliant welcome pack. Everything about the property is well done from a place to dump muddy boots, beautiful quality bed linen, towels aplenty, cushions everywhere and the best stocked kitchen we have experienced in a holiday rental. I particularly liked the abundance of lamps and lighting options, so thoughtful. It really is a property full of home comforts and luxury, the owner has a real flair for holiday rentals and has poured their heart and soul into this beautiful property. There was a farmers market in the square while we were there, we travelled to the home of Walter Scott, Abbotsford, in 30 mins and to Bamburgh Castle, 1 hour, both of which I would highly recommend. If you would like to explore Kelso and the beautiful Borders, we would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful property.

      TERRIBLE SERVICE FROM OWNERS!

      !! Do not recommend booking here at all as if felt very unhygienic. The owners completely forgot we were arriving!! There were kids lounging around in the house and rushed out as they did a ‘quick clean’. It felt very dirty to stay in as the property has obviously been lived in. The kitchen was dirty, there were crumbs all over the kitchen table and coffee table in the living room. The floor was dirty and unhoovered. Worst part was that the owners first avoided us/ any complaints and then finally refused to compensate us in any way at all (after we left the property). If you have troubles with your experience/accommodation here then it is completely up to them how much they wish to compensate you. We left a day early due to the poor service and still they couldn’t compensate us in the slightest. Sykes cottages or other booking agents will not be able to help you either. Terrible experience and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
