    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Rachel - Verified booking

      Won’t be staying here again Initially all seemed well.

      Contact from the owner was helpful and very detailed. However, once we got here things started to go downhill. Once we finally got in the front door which was swollen from the weather, the house had a weird smell (we live on a farm so weird smells are normal), but it was unexpected and annoying as it seemed the source was the house itself. We soldiered on and thought we’d make a nice meal. Sadly there isn’t a single sharp knife in the whole place with most of them even refusing to cut cheese without coaxing which is annoying for a family who don’t live off microwave food. Plus some of the pan lid handles came off as we used them rendering the experience dangerous as we attempted to get boiled food out of an almost sealed unit. Not to be deterred we moved to the living area, sadly it soon became clear that you could eat a meal on rotation (2 at a time) by setting up your own table and chairs as the outdoor seating wasn’t available. You also could not watch tv and eat. Never mind, we aren’t big tv fans so we settled in for an evening of reading and games. Unfortunately the lighting in the living area is so poor that we couldn’t sit and read without causing ourselves a headache. Then darkness settled in and so did the cold. It quickly became evident that the master bedroom which is “cosy” was in fact Baltic cold overnight as the external door leads off it with no insulation and the bedroom has single glazing (as does the living area, wash room and other entrance/hallway which makes the whole place freezing). You also only get supplied with one thin duvet each meaning you cannot layer up other than with your own clothes which is what we resorted to. Helpfully the heating is on a timer, but it remains a mystery how to get it to stay on longer than the hour morning and a few in the early evening that it’s been set to and the log burner enthusiastically heats the living room only and that’s if you sit on it. As we are made of tough stuff we tried to stick it out and rebranded the holiday an adventure. Upon waking from a cold night we ventured back into the kitchen to find that the tap water was cloudy again, we had assumed it was cloudy due to lack of use, but this seemed to indicate otherwise. We are fairly hardy types, but we agreed it was best to boil the water to drink it making yet more faff. After day three in the freezing and not user-friendly house we popped a few walking stained items in the washing machine only to have soiled water gush out once the cycle was finished and cover us and the floor. As no towels (as per the advert) or indeed any cleaning cloths are provided we were left soaking up the water and cleaning the area with our own items yet had no way to wash or dry them afterwards. Back in the kitchen, the dishwasher has no washing tablets supplied which was fine for us as we had bought washing up liquid with us, but would likely be annoying for guests who don’t as they’ll then need to venture back out to do a 12 mile round trip in order to do any washing up. Final nail in the coffin was finding no way to dry our apparently unwashed items as there is no airer which seems slightly short sighted in Scotland in winter. Maybe a BBQ and outdoor dinner would have healed a few wounds, but sadly the equipment advertised was invisible or maybe had been borrowed by the local Laird. So on what would have been day 4 we packed bags at 6am and went home as I couldn’t keep my child warm, cooking was a farce, we couldn’t wash or dry anything and I wasn’t convinced the drinking water was actually drinkable, amongst the other issues with the place. We’d spent £400 plus fuel to get there which for us is a significant amount of money and we consider it badly spent. We have complained, but have been told that we should have allowed the owners to rectify the issues. Not sure how they’d have fitted double glazing during our stay or washed and dryer our clothes, but apparently this means no refund. Also the owners state they cannot be contacted until after 6pm and the property has no mobile signal so it seems a bit tricky to actually make contact whilst there. You do get a free bottle of wine and some locally made biscuits which are a lovely gesture, but they fall short of being able to fix what should have been a relaxing break and instead felt like an episode of Faulty Towers mixed with Holidays From Hell. We did a deep clean before departing in a very British effort to keep the peace, but it’s safe to say that we won’t be back.

    • Nicolene - Verified booking

      This is a dog friendly property a few minutes drive from the local shops, Morrisons, Lidl and a terrible Tesco.

      There is even a dog friendly cafe The Royal Cafe…..which we found on the last day. Waters Edge is a redecorated four bedroom (two of which are downstairs……) 70’s house with splendid views over Loch Ryan as far as the Irish Sea. I didn’t venture upstairs but my husband had a tour so I’m aware there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. On arrival, we were delighted by the appearance of the house and it’s proximity to the Loch. There’s a great lobby for coats and outdoor paraphernalia which is certainly a plus for keeping the interior clean and tidy. However, on opening the connecting door the overwhelming smell of cooking/dogs was most unwelcoming; perhaps an open window or two might have made this more bearable? The front bedroom has a very small double bed but, as we wanted the view, this was the room we settled on; our stay would have benefited vastly if the Master bed had been in this room. The kitchen diner is large and extremely well equipped, but there was food in the freezer and an (open) bag of some sort of savoury biscuits in the cupboard and many of the plates/pizza tray were filthy. A broom would have been good, I am disabled to the point where I can’t use a vacuum cleaner, There was an abundance of loo rolls, towels, bedding, which was brilliant but no bleach for the showers or the loos. Also, the electric shower power is desultory at best and you have to wait a long time for the water to heat up, but the absolute negative was the size if the showers - they are tiny. Agreed, there are baths, but I haven’t been able to access one of those in 17 years so it’s a shower or nothing. My tummy is black and blue from the shower door knobs. For that reason alone we could not recommend this property despite it’s excellent nature and dog friendliness. Also, there is no garden which people with dogs need to be advised about; it’s a dark, dangerous step to the park late at night for last walkies. And, please note, there is no milk at the property (other companies ensure a “welcome” pack of one degree or another). There was some fudge, but we left that behind as we wanted to leave everything exactly as we had found it, as instructed time and time again by Sykes Cottages who really do know how to write the rudest email messages I’ve ever read, implying all paying guests are somehow filthy, entitled and disrespectful. Overall we had a great time and the area is very relaxing especially with the five days of lovely weather when we could enjoy the patio table, but as much as we’d love to, I guess we won’t be back because the facilities do not meet my personal needs.

      We booked Waters Edge for Christmas and had a most enjoyable stay.

      We would like to thank the owners for decorating the house and putting up a Christmas tree for our arrival. The house was very spacious and clean. The views from the lounge and the bedrooms looking over Loch Ryan were wonderful. It was like being on a cruise ship looking out onto the sea. There were a few issues with leaking windows which didn’t impact on our stay as we contacted the owner who responded promptly. The kitchen was large and had plenty of cupboard space and was well equipped. We enjoyed eating our Christmas dinner at the large dining table. Location is good as it is a short walk into town although you have to drive to the nearest beach. Despite it being dog friendly lack of a garden was an issue. If you are going in the winter months bring a torch with you to navigate the uneven concrete steps down to the road. There is a light on the porch but it doesn’t help going down the stairs. A security light on the garage door would help solve this situation. The owners were good enough to let us use their garage as we had two cars with us but it was tricky to navigate into as you have to reverse in at an angle. The parking for the other car was also difficult as it wasn’t easy negotiating the uneven concrete parking space. Some of the furnishings didn’t reflect on the price that we paid for six nights (£1200). Beside cabinets in the main bedroom were more suited for a bathroom and small plastic lamps were not a good look. There were two side tables in the lounge but both had lamps on them. A couple of extra tables or a nest of tables is necessary as there was nowhere to place our drinks or snacks. None of the bathroom windows had blinds but windows were covered with a plastic film which made them look unfinished. The upstairs bathroom in particular needed a blind as the top part of the window had no plastic film on it and you felt as if the neighbours could see in. Some of the issues may seem as minor but again reflecting on the price would need to be addressed. Unfortunately we would not return due to the lack of garden and the parking issue. If we had had a third car, as the house accommodates eight people, I would not like to park my car 100 yards from the house. We would still recommend this holiday house for families if you don’t mind the issues we have highlighted.

      Lovely cottage surrounded by woodland.

      The location of the cottage was perfect. Very tranquil & peaceful. The garden was well tended & looked really pretty at night with the colourful solar lights. We didn’t see any red squirrels & unfortunately no deer entered our garden but that could be because we had a dog. We saw red deer in the next field though which was nice. Despite the current energy crisis the cottage was warm & we thank the owner for that as a cottage we stayed in earlier this year in March was freezing cold & locked to 14 degrees. The only negatives I would give to this cottage was that the mattress in the double bedroom exacerbated my disc problem & the cars, trucks & vans driving on the single track road next to the cottage speeded & I mean speeded. No thought given whatsoever to the wild animals living there, dog walkers, pedestrians or other road users. It even limited our walks along the road as we felt it too risky. Would highly recommend 20mph signs on the road or even better 10mph. Fortunately, it isn’t a busy road so it didn’t ruin our holiday. All in all we would highly recommend this property.

      Wow , what a beautiful bungalow, bright airy and in a wonderful location, with lovely outdoor space .

      Bed was very comfortable and good quality linen. Only downside on arrival no housekeeping has been done , no beds changed and dirty towels left in shower , a quick message and phone call to Richard and hour later 3 lovely ladies arrived to clean , on leaving one of the ladies said she would drop off some vouchers for the inconvenience needless to say they never arrived, poor customer service. Reading a review from May someone said the shower in both bathrooms were leaking , I had hoped this would have been sorted....it hadn't every time the shower was used the floor was like a swimming pool, such a shame as the flooring is gorgeous.Lovely pub in the village and the beach there is fabulous our springer spaniel loved it such a shame weather wasn't on our side . Please remember this lovely property is surrounded by fields with cows and sheep in them when it's sunny and doors are open you need fly spray and lots of it as you are bombarded with them . The hot tub was great to use only problem again was the wet weather and I think a couple of the jets have stopped working.
