    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Confirmed Guest - Verified booking

      Lovely large house, great location, close to shops, park etc. The house was very well equipped and stocked all our essentials ie toilet rolls, washing up liquid, even tin foil, cling film and sandwich bags. There were 10 of us split over a 2 week stay at Braidwood, 5 children & 5 adults. The house had plenty of large rooms to accommodate us all. The children really enjoyed the garden and the park out the back gate. We all walked round the park by the loch, the kids enjoyed playing on the playground. Made our way back with a walk up Queens Street. I enjoyed sitting in the garden at night & early morning, while everyone was in bed, having a cup of tea and a cigarette, it was so peaceful and the different birds certainly kept me entertained, the robin especially came to greet me every morning. 2022 was my 25th year of staying in Scotland for my annual summer holiday, my late mother's people were all Dalbeattie folk born & bred. I lost my mum 8 years ago, also losing my eldest brother 4 weeks after mum's passing. They are laid to rest in and around their favourite places, Sandyhills, Rockcliffe etc. They are all together at Sweetheart Abbey alongside my aunt (mum's sister) and her son (my cousin) My Summer holiday are sort of like a pilgrimage to visit my loved ones resting place and a promise I made too my mum on her last visit to Sweetheart Abbey, that every year I would visit with flowers. I also visit the Haugh of Urr were some of mum's family are laid to rest. I hope that one day I will get to stay at Braidwood again, I'm opting for a much quieter holiday next year without all the grand kids. As always booking through Discover Scotland my holiday is always 100% satisfactory. Great Property in a Great Location...Thank You for an amazing holiday on behalf of myself and family members who stayed with us. See You All Next Year

      The description of the property on the website is accurate so we got what we hoped for.

      The cottage is spacious, really well equipped with good quality fixtures and fittings. The views from the sun room and the garden area over the road are spectacular whatever the weather. The review asks for our Sykes experience but that's not the same thing as our experience of the cottage. The latter was all positive and we appreciated the efforts of the owners to provide us with a great holiday base. There doesn't seem to be anywhere else to record that Sykes sends too many emails - too many requests for reviews of a holiday yet to be taken, too many suggestions for new bookings when the current one hadn't happened. I asked for one piece of assistance before the holiday and got what I needed because the query was referred to the owners. Sykes were fine and if you have a property that suits me I might use you again but I will be blocking your too frequent emails. I don't have a problem with my comments being published but I do not want anything I have said to appear to be detrimental to the cottage owners - they did everything required to meet our expectations.

      Spent 4 days at little Ireland with my husband we both had a great time and felt the flat to be very comfortable and well laid out.

      The welcome tea. Coffee etc was really appreciated it allowed us to have a wee cuppa after a long journey so massive thanks. The only negative was we weren't aware the accommodation was next door to a bar and restaurant as that would never be our choice but we tried the restaurant papa rabs and the food was amazing.. the pub noise was limited and didn't bother us at all. The only other thing is the TV we could only get LG TV which was a tad frustrating maybe option for you to look into as others might like the TV on in the morning or evening when chilling before going out etc. But on the whole we had a fab time and really enjoyed the flat which was done to a high standard very comfortably done with everything you would need.. we even tried paddle boarding which was less than a 3 minute drive away. We liked the flat that much that we left a bottle of red for you to enjoy. Thanks again happy customers we hope to book again soon. Sharon and Alistair.

      A lovely house in a stunning location.

      Most of the rooms are beautifully furnished but one bedroom and its ensuite bathroom are much smaller and in the "backstairs" part of the house, obviously last refitted in the 1970s - still nice, but not up to the standard of the other rooms. The house was generally very clean and well equipped but some of the glasses and crockery obviously hadn't been used for a long time and the vacuum cleaner bag was solidly full. Generally well equipped kitchen with few exceptions - no good frying pan, no teastrainer, no oven gloves - and the crockery, cutlery and glassware varied from old but good-quality to new and cheap. The information about the house and equipment was well-written and helpful but for a holiday home there was a surprising lack of information about local walks and attractions, so bring your own guide book and maps. But with those minor niggles this is an amazing place for a family get-together.

      Shinnel House is een prachtige locatie. Middenin de natuur, en omringd met een enorme tuin waar je heerlijk in kan wandelen en spelen (de kinderen genoten ervan om steentjes in de rivier te gooien of dammen te bouwen in het beekje dat midden door de tuin stroomt). Er zijn altijd een boel vogels te zien vanuit de keuken en er is een prachtige kamer met een groot raam vanwaar je heerlijk op een regenachtige dag kan lezen en naar buiten kijken, of je ochtendyoga kan doen alsof je middenin de natuur bent. Wij hebben erg genoten in ieder geval. Het huis is van binnen ook heerlijk ruim en gezellig ingericht. Er zijn ook genoeg boeken aanwezig om je niet te hoeven vervelen. Wij raden Shinnel House van harte aan als plek om Schotland te ontdekken en op de dagen dat je niet op stap bent heerlijk van het huisje en haar omgeving te genieten.
