“The cottage is well equipped for a comfortable stay.”

It is within easy reach of Edinburgh, Glasgow and various places in the Border region making it a good base for a vacation. The owners could not have been more helpful. Overall a very good place to stay.

“Beautiful cosy cottage that made us feel welcome.”

The owner, although away for our stay, kept in touch and made sure we had all the information we needed for our stay. If you like peace and quiet and a base for exploring with the comfort of a warm welcoming place to end your day then this is for you. We will be back!

Fiona was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Brill.

“Cottage Review”

We found ourselves needing accommodation for a couple of weeks due to an emergency home repair, Skye Blue was absolutely perfect, a proper home from home with everything we needed. I would not hesitate to recommend the cottage, the icing on the cake was the way Fiona settled us in then made us feel like the cottage was our private space. A bad situation was made bearable thanks to Fiona and Skye Blue

“Wonderful”

An absolutely beautiful cottage in a fantastic location with a lovely, kind and helpful owner. Fiona went out of her way to help me set up the cottage to best accommodate my two dogs. I had to leave early because one of my dogs was very poorly but even then Fiona wanted to know what she could do to help as she knew I was travelling alone. Cannot recommend it highly enough and will definitely rebook.

“Just perfect”

Thank you Fiona for a lovely stay. All the little essentials were taken care of, down to bags of treats for the dogs, a dog towel, dog bed, and bowls. Fiona even remembered to put in a baby gate that we had asked for when we first booked. Cottage itself is lovely, comfiest bed we have ever slept in, very well equipped and in a fantastic location very close to a friendly pub, quiet area with lovely scenery and great for walking the dogs. Also has a secure garden. Fiona was very helpful, taking care to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we could want. Would recommend visiting New Lanark. Look forward to returning.

“Fabulous Cottage”

Just back from a great holiday in this fabulous cottage. We knew from first speaking to Fiona on the telephone that this was going to be excellent. The cottage was comfortable, warm and clean with everything catered for to enjoy a superb holiday. The bed was super comfy too. Fiona had even left out things for our dog, bed if required, dishes, toys and treats, who could ask for more. Our dog loved the enclosed long garden because he could at last have a run, our own garden being a bit small for him. The Pub two doors up from the cottage serves excellent meals and the owners and staff there are super friendly. The scenery and places to visit within an hour of the cottage are superb. Fiona gave us loads of information on places to go and the best routes to find them, but there were also lots of leaflets in the cottage. We wouldn't hesitate in booking this cottage again in the future, we felt at home and relaxed there.

“Amazing, comfortable, clean.”

Arrived late, owner (Fiona) went out of way to arrange collection of key locally then came to show us around on arrival @ 21.30. Very welcoming. Went beyond to sort out a personal problem that occurred while we were there. Cottage much larger than the photos show, just like the tardis. Located in a small rural village, very friendly people, Pub just 2 doors away, shop within easy reach. Perfect base to tour the area Thank you for wonderful stay, would recomend a visit

“Cozy cottage - home from home”

Warm welcome by Fiona owner of the cottage who has excellent local knowledge of village and surrounding area. Decorated to a high standard and very clean. Enclosed garden with seating. Brilliant for my black labrador - no worries of him escaping. Lovely local country walks. Village pub serves good food at weekends - Frank and Jan excellent landlords. All in all a very pleasant and relaxing cottage. Loved everything about it and would recommend it to anyone wishing to visit the Scottish Borders. I shall hopefully stay again soon.

“Great cottage,well equipped with large rooms and garden, welcomi”

Welcomed by Fiona the owner who gave detailed information about this lovely cottage and had kindly offered to get milk for arrival. Property is well equipped with large comfortable rooms and excellent shower, large enclosed garden with table and chairs, I ate outside on 3 occasions in a week. Weather was great. Pub 2 doors down does great meals on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings and a very welcoming pub during the week, I also had a great steak and chips etc with all trimmings to take away. Great area for walks try Winnyknowe woodland within a mile of braehead, deer, birds flora etc. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and recommend to anyone looking for a quiet holiday with access to Edinburgh and Glasgow and Central Scotland

“Tidy well equipped little Cottage”

First Class tidy little cottage, well equipped, the owner could not have been more helpful, leaving us a pint of milk and 2 ready meals for arrival, although we got held up with roadworks she (Mrs Orr) kept in touch by phone and was there to greet us at 9.30 in the evening to show us round the cottage, explaining the workings of the appliances etc, a pleasant change for Sykes Cottages. We will definately be back in the summer

Braehead is a small village in the Lanarkshire region of the Scottish Borders. It is home to a village pub, a school and a village hall and has spectacular views all around. Just three miles from Braehead is the farming village of Carnwath which nestles in the Clyde Valley on the edge of open moorland and enjoys views of the Pentland Hills. Notable in Carnwath is the Market Cross and St Mary's Aisle, which is the only part of the Collegiate Church on the current Parish Church and dates back to 1386. Just eight miles from Braehead is the restored cotton mill village of New Lanark, a World Heritage Site, close to the Falls of Clyde Wildlife Reserve.
