Guests say
Lincumtoy Cottage is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. The enclosed garden and summerhouse offer delightful views and relaxation, although one review mentions an unsafe area for dogs. Its rural setting provides peace and proximity to nature, with local amenities a short drive away. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen and cosy atmosphere, making it a popular choice for return visits.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as spotlessly clean, bright, and well-maintained, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
The cottage's rural location is appreciated for its tranquillity and natural beauty, with easy access to walks and fishing. However, the distance to local amenities and the mention of a potentially unsafe area for dogs slightly affect the score.
Reviews highlight the cottage's cosy and comfortable interior, comfy furniture, and comfortable beds, suggesting a high level of comfort for guests.
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and includes a summerhouse and wood burner. However, concerns about the garden's safety for dogs and the condition of the surrounding tarmac slightly lower the score.
Many reviews mention a generous welcome pack, which guests found to be a lovely touch. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it should be noted that such gestures are at the discretion of the owner and may not be guaranteed.

Cottage was spotlessly clean. Kitchen was well equipped for a self catering holiday. The food hamper which was left by the owner was a lovely thought and much appreciated.Garden was fully enclosed which our dog thoroughly enjoyed. The unfenced burn and the embankment was well lit up so didn't cause any issues.We loved sitting up in the summerhouse "watching the world go by". The views from there were fantastic.Would recommend Lincumtoy Cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful break away.
