“When we arrived the house was freezing.”

It states electric heating but it is an underfloor heating system which took 12 hours to heat up the house properly. Once the house was warm the heating system is good. I noticed the instructions were to switch of the water when we left. If the owners understood their heating system they would know that the water needs to be on also for the house to heat effectively. For me this was a very negative start to our holiday.There is an oil filled radiator which helped a little but not good enough ...

It states electric heating but it is an underfloor heating system which took 12 hours to heat up the house properly. Once the house was warm the heating system is good. I noticed the instructions were to switch of the water when we left. If the owners understood their heating system they would know that the water needs to be on also for the house to heat effectively. For me this was a very negative start to our holiday.There is an oil filled radiator which helped a little but not good enough. If the house has not been used for at least a few days and it is cold outside common sense and courtesy should show that the heating and water needs to be on all day for guests arriving at 3pm. They also need to put blinds on the kitchen window and patio doors. The property is not overlooked but at night time you need blinds or curtains. On a positive note it is a nice comfortable house in an good area for walking and for relaxing. It will be the last property I book through Sykes as.with experience you get a better service booking direct from an Owner. Previous negative comments have already stated about no blinds in the kitchen and the twin room .The feedback doesn't seem to be working.

“The house is well appointed and very clean.”

there were four adults sharing the house, 2 married couples,and on booking we new that one of the double rooms was down stairs which was perfectly ok. however the double bed in the down stairs room was most uncomfortable..the bed is a box construction with the mattress set in it and when laid down the mattress sinks below the box sides of the bed.most uncomfortable. this resulted in moving to the twin bedded room upstairs but in that room there are no blinds or curtains on the two low level velux windows thus affording no privacy.we had to improvise with towels and a large flat pack box which had been stored in the other upstairs bedroom. please advise the owner and if these two points are rectified the house will be perfect. thank you

“The addition of garden furniture would be a big bonus ...”

The addition of garden furniture would be a big bonus the lounge is let down by only having seating for 5 having to use a kitchen chair is not a very comfortable option

“Great quality accommodation in this luxury house.”

Bedrooms very spacious, super comfortable beds and bathrooms excellent with fantastic showers. Lovely peaceful living room and well kitted our kitchen. Environmentally friendly heating and everything is efficient. The village is lovely and shops and pubs/restaurants in walking distance. Lots of bike rides and walks straight from the house. The house is in a little modern estate and it’s all very spacious. If you are bringing bikes there is no bike shed but you can attach to the fence outside or take them into the spacious hall. Would highly recommend this house.

“The property is excellent and is in an excellent location to stay in the Spey valley.”

The directions to the property that Sykes provide are inadequate. You need to give a more detailed location in Boat of Garten. People can easily find the village, however, you don't describe how to find the house. The post code is so new it is not shown correctly on satnav or Google maps. Fortunately we know the area very well so knew were to go.

Boat of Garten is a small village situated in the Cairngorms National Park near the River Spey. Due to its rural location, the village is a great base for those seeking to discover the impressive, rugged landscape of the region and the abundance of wildlife that resides here. Due to its close proximity to the large population of Ospreys at RSPB: Loch Garten, the village is also known as Osprey Village. In the village itself, you can find the family run 1896 Gallery and Coffee Shop, Anderson's Restaurant, a Post Office, a wine shop, a couple of cafes and The Boat Hotel, where you spend an evening dining out in style. Enjoy fishing on the River Spey, or play a round of golf at the Boat of Garten Golf and Tennis Club, which boasts an 18-hole course designed by professional golfer and golf-course architect, James Braid. The village is a short drive from the town of Aviemore, where you can enjoy outdoor activities all year round; enjoy skiing in the winter months, or walk, climb and cycle through the summer. Also nearby is the Caledonian Pine Forest, with many marked walks and trails to explore. Boat of Garten is a wonderful spot from which to enjoy a holiday exploring this stunning national park.
