    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Ken - Verified booking

      First Impressions of the cottage where quite positive, it is an old stone Building which remains cool even on a warm day.

      The heating to the property is controlled by a timer which in turn is controlled by the owner, hence at night on our stay in mid September it got fairly cold. There was also a fume smell emitting from the oil boiler in the en-suite double bedroom, especially if the door to the en-suite bathroom left closed. Hence due to there only being two of us we opted to sleep in another of the 3 bedrooms, the lack of heating control at night was a slight downside to our stay though. Privacy was another problem at the cottage as it is part of a multi unit letting set up, with a number of permanent residents also. This meant the need to the keep curtains drawn, or residents can see straight into the holiday let, access to property was via two Drives each very pot holed even for a 4x4 to use. There was also a distinct lack of where to go leaflets for things to see and do in the area, on leaving we left our leaflets there for new guests to use when they arrive. Seating in kitchen looked period but was very uncomfortable and all the chairs rickety, with very loose wooden Joints with some previous attempted screw repairs quite dangerous really. These need repairing properly to safe guard future occupants safety when using the focal point kitchen, as this is a premium property it really needs all the little details re- addressing especially the boiler when the rental season finally quietens down. The property could be brought right back up to scratch, over the course of a couple of days re-investment and time. Overall we enjoyed our time there but it could have been so much better.

      Wonderful property.

      Warm and spotlessly clean. Easy to make your own, very workable kitchen. Excellent communication. The property is easy to find using info given and it is clear on the ‘maps’ app. The road in from the village takes a few minutes and is single track, our vehicles managed no problem. Welcome basket was very thoughtful, jam was delicious, bread got eaten very quickly! You also kindly left some gluten free treats for the coeliacs in our party. The views from the cottage were amazing and you could watch the day and the weather across the loch and the mountains. We had glorious autumnal weather and an amazing show of the northern lights one evening, very special. We cooked for ourselves each evening and sampled some of the organic beef from the farm. We enjoyed the minced beef, lorne sausage and sausages. It was absolutely delicious and cooked well. We spent the whole week in close proximity to the farm venturing to Balloch, Luss, Balmaha climbing Ben Lomond and Conic Hill. The facilities at the farm to use the loch for water sports, kayaking and paddle boarding etc is all set up with easy access we just never got the chance to use it or have David take us out in his boat. Maybe next time! All in all a fabulous property with caring hosts. Thank you.

    • William - Verified booking

      This was the time we rented a property via Sykes Cottages and I honestly couldn't fault them.

      Every aspect of the process was effortless and very well run so I wouldn't hesitate to make further bookings through Sykes. As for the property itself, it was exactly what we were looking for. The view is stunning and really something to wake up to every morning and sit gazing out on from the dining table each mealtime. Even though our visit was over the New Year period, the amazing insulation meant it was perfectly cosy with great underfloor heating and a log burner in the living room to keep us nice and toasty even when it was freezing outside. The kitchen is especially well considered with your every requirement catered for, and I would strongly recommend purchasing a joint of the fantastic organic beef they rear on the farm to roast! The family who run the farm and let the cottage are so welcoming and hospitable with a great knowledge of the area if you need any advice on where to explore. You only have to read all the other reviews to realise that this would be a perfect choice for a stay in Lock Lomond, and we really can't wait to go back.

    • Elizabeth - Verified booking

      My husband and I stayed in West Deyne last week and we enjoyed everything about it.

      We live in the countryside so the position of West Deyne, just a walk away from Broughty Ferry's impressive shops and a step away from the sea was a lovely change for us.( It was also amazingly quiet). The house itself is spacious, very clean, beautifully decorated and the owners have obviously given a great deal of thought into providing everything which their guests could possibly need. My sister came to spend a few nights with us and she, like me, was impressed by the quality of the pillows and duvets. We went into neighbouring Dundee on 2 occasions to visit the V&A and the McManus Galleries museum and opted to travel by train and bus to avoid spending time looking for parking. Train station and bus stop are just a few minutes walk from West Deyne. This property has everything to recommend it not least the owners who provided a wonderful welcome pack for us and who made it very simple for me to retrieve something I had left behind. All in all West Deyne was a 5 star experience. Elizabeth Smyth.
