• "Cottage is well located, well maintained and nice and cosy during our visit where the weather was cooler."

  The cottage had everything we needed for our stay. We travelled as a couple with our dog and loved exploring the area. Would visit again. The owner contacted us via email prior to visit and called on the day of arrival to check in with us. Great experience.

• "Lovely cottage to stay in, the owner has clearly put thought and care into the property."

  It's in a great location with plenty of parking outside. Adults, kids and dog all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we were comfortable and warm throughout. It would have been helpful to have shelves in the bathrooms for toothbrushes, contact lenses, etc., otherwise we had pretty much everything we needed. We'd happily stay again.

• "We were contacted well ahead of scheduled arrival with instructions for key and use of cottage."

  We were party of 5 in our 70’s. Every one of us was highly impressed by the modernisation and decor of the cottage. It was spotlessly clean, beds comfortable, no noise. Plenty kitchen utensils mugs. dishes, pots etc Dishwasher, machine microwave all brand new. Bedding freshly laundered. All the home tastefully decorated. The owner was in touch a few times over the few days and proved very helpful. Especially appreciated is the en suite in every room plus one further bathroom upstairs. Just a few steps from the waterfront and harbour . Short walk to local amenities and a few excellent hotels serving delicious food and a few takeaway restaurants. Excellent and challenging 18 hole golf course yards away with lovely clubhouse and regular entertainment. Dolphin and osprey watch within 20 mile. Thoroughly recommend the cottage plus the 2 bedroom Eider Cottage attached. Thanks to the owner for making our stay so thoroughly enjoyable. We will revisit Sandpiper.

• "We come every year to cullen staying in various cottages from various sites - never before have we had such a terrible experience."

  The stay itself was lovely although it was odd the owner turning up on our doorstep one day unannounced and felt like we were being checked up on. It was on our return that things turned very sour. We were blamed for multiple reports of a damage that we were not responsible for. In addition to this although we agreed to pay for repairs as we were unable to prove otherwise, the owner invoiced us for total replacement of these. Eg a few broken bed slats - invoiced for a new bed. Some biro on a cushion - invoiced for 2 new cushions. They took our entire £350 bond. We are shocked and disgusted that Sykes and the owner could be so unreasonable. Will never use either again.

  On reading this review we have received, it is evident that this does not mirror any of the other lovely reviews we have gained. We are glad you enjoyed your stay, and I do like to check in on guests to ensure they do not need any assistance or have any questions, which, as you can see from other feedback is greatly appreciated. In between changeovers, the property is thoroughly checked, and as damages were found, these were reported and photographic evidence and invoices were submitted. As is the case with the vast majority of holiday lets any damages must be paid for as owners could simply not continue to offer this service if we had to swallow these costs. The actual amount of the damages surpassed the £350 good housekeeping bond, as there were other examples that you have not mentioned in your review and we as owners will need to cover these costs. We will continue to offer beautiful holiday accommodation to a high standard, and continue to welcome guests that respect and enjoy our lovely home. Property Owner

• "Our family had a lovely stay at Sandpiper Cottage."

  It was nice and spacious with everything a young family would need. Cullen is a beautiful place and the location of the cottage is great. Great beach which we spent a lot of time on and a nice little pub a 2 minute walk away. This is a great base for visiting the Moray coast.

  Thank you so much for your feedback. I love the location too, it like it’s own wee world in Seatown. Glad to hear you had a nice relaxing time. Louise x Property Owner

• "Had the best week with the family at Sandpiper cottage in Cullen."

  It was so cosy, spacious, spotlessly clean and decor was lovely. The beds were all really comfy too. It’s only 2 minutes walk to the beach, so the ideal location to explore the local area. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Louise was the perfect hostess and kept in regular contact with us throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and also gave us lots of tips and ideas on best places to visit and eat out. It was our first time at the cottage and definitely won’t be our last. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and will be recommending it to our family and friends Thanks again

• "We loved our stay in Cullen, the cottage is in a great location right next to the beach & harbour."

  There are easy walks along the coast & around town and loads of local activities for families. We saw the Moray dolphins playing just across the rocky beach from us when we walked along to the pet cemetery! We have already recommended Cullen to friends as a great holiday destination.

  Louise was a wonderful host and very attentive with any questions we had. She also provided us with lots information on the area as well as activities happening at the time. The cottage itself was completely charming, decorated to a high specification and had the perfect location, just a stones throw from the sea. We will 100% be booking again next year!
