We loved the cottage and its remote situation.
The directions were clear and after a long journey travelling over two days from Southern England this was much appreciated! The whole place was clean and tidy - I hope we left it as we found it. We also appreciated the little welcome pack of basics - the scones especially! We loved the village and the walk to the harbour - we had a meal at the pub one evening with our family who live nearby and sat outside watching the sun go down - lovely! The walk to the headland is beautiful and allowed our dog a bit of "off lead" time. They had seen dolphins out in the bay the previous week so we were very disappointed not to make a sighting and teased them that they had "bigged up" the place too much!! In fact we had a wonderful holiday - the local villages were nice, we visited two botanical gardens on the peninsula. And the weather was perfect too. It was just sad that we had to cut our stay short because of commitments at home. We intend to return to visit my cousin again and would stay in the cottage another time if its available. Thank you

The Paddock is a lovely bungalow close to beautiful and stunning countryside.
Kirkgowan is a small and quite village with one small (friendly) shop. Sykes description of the property describes the nearest pub, The Craighlaw Arms Hotel, a 200-year old coaching inn, as been .3 of a mile from The Paddock. This is not correct. The Craighlaw has been closed for a year! The nearest pub/cafeis at least 8 miles away. We picked The Paddock over another property, which was situated 'in the country', because on holiday we like to have a 'local' for an occassional meal out, and to socialise, without the need to use a car. We have tried to raise the above with Sykes but their site is not user friendly when it comes to submitting complaints. The Paddock itself is a fine property. But we believe Sykes description of properties etc should provide a true representation. The Paddock has only been available to rent this year. The Craighlaw has been closed as a pub since last year: so it appears Sykes knew before they listed the property.

Beautiful remote location if you want to unwind.
However the cottage is very dated and in need of some modernisation and a deep clean. When we arrived there was no key in the safe as promised so after driving over 200 miles we had to phone the owner and wait for the cleaner to bring the keys. After sitting on the drive for an hour we eventually had access to the property which was cold as the heating had been switched off found several unacceptable issues including dirty bedding ( paw prints and dog hairs on pillows and bedding). Dog poo on the garden, overturned garden furniture, mucky streaks on patio doors, cobwebs hanging in lounge, sofa spring broke, black mould on shower curtain and in cupboards, drawers in wardrobe that could not be opened and conservatory furniture in desperate need of a deep clean. It would appear issues have been raised or logged by previous guests but not acted upon. First time we have ever been disappointed with a Sykes cottage holiday.

We had a lovely holiday in your beautiful cottage.
Very cosy, with comfortable beds, the cottage was lovely & warm. Thank you for the thoughtful supplies you left, much appreciated. We noted the message about the wobbly loo seat & shelf & set about putting them right. We found the missing shelf pin & put it back in place. The loo seat was secured with metal fixings purchased in Kirkcudbright, until your repair can be done. Very effective! Unfortunately we did have a little accident with one of the tall glasses falling off the draining board on our last morning. Very sorry about this, it'll teach us to congratulate ourselves too early on successfully completed the week with no damage! We purchased some tablespoons to add to your supply of cutlery as a gift, it was a little difficult to serve things out with the smaller ones. That being our only complaint. All in all we had a perfect week & would recommend your cottage to everyone

Very peaceful and comfortable cottage, and a good access point for exploring the area.
Several lovely beaches nearby that offer spectacular views and dog friendly. The cottage has everything you need to kick-start your holiday and we arranged a shopping delivery for the day we arrived which really made settling in easy (we used Morrisons for this and had a very friendly delivery driver). Plenty of room for you to make yourself at home and garden is spacious and well kept (with some adorable cows in the field next-door). Only piece of advice for the garden if you're travelling with dogs is it's enclosed with a stone wall that does have some low height areas so just to keep a watch if you have an escape artist! But would absolutely recommend this cottage for a relaxing holiday.
