Mr Robertson
September 2020

“Only a trickle of hot water from kitchen and bathroom taps.”

But everything else ticked most of the boxes. Clean, warm, no noise, never heard a thing from the building site, only saw two trains pass the rear of the property, pity.Near to the village, just a short walk to the nearest shops, chipper, and Pizza place. Loads of walks for the dogs, if you enjoy cycling or running, the path to Boat o Garten is fantastic, the views perfect. Yes really enjoyed our stay, already booked our summer holidays 2021for this property

Mr Tilley September 2020

“We had a fab time in the bungalow, it was in a lovely quiet location, 10 minute walk to the town centre, 20 minutes to the pub.”

plenty of incredible walks and breathtaking scenery all accesible from the doorstep. The rental property was very cozy, immaculate and perfect for us. We loved our holiday in Aviemore and this particular rental property so we re-booked again for next year. We were all very sad to leave.. had a great holiday thank you.

Ms Fischer-buder December 2019

“Aviemore is a lovely place to stay in and use as a base for exploring the Cairngorms and beyond.”

We had planned to do some winter sports but there wasn't enough snow. It was fantastic for hiking though and I was sad to have to leave at the end of our holidays. Definitely worth a visit.

Mr Malloy October 2019

“We stayed at a pet friendly 2 bedroom semi-detached bungalow which was perfect for our needs.”

The kitchen looked quite new and was well equipped if you wished to prepare meals on a daily basis. We liked walking and the property was ideally located for a small stroll into town.

- Mr Malloy, October 2019
Mrs Todd August 2019

“Holiday house in good location to be able to walk into town centre.”

Lovely area and lots to do outside and on a rainy day. We enjoyed hill walking and mountain biking, visiting Wildlife park and Highland Museum. Steam railway is amazing and staff are all volunteers and work hard to keep this piece of history alive. Holiday property is quite tired looking with floors not that clean, skirting boards and door surrounds have not seen a duster for a long time, tea towel in kitchen we didn't use, bought one and brought it home. Wardrobe in double bedroom needs to be put out, smells foustie, check out the spelling, but it doesn't have a pleasant aroma, and area of decking to sit out is less than inviting. Having said this, we did have a super time visiting this lovely area. Aviemore itself is busy and not attractive but if you journey out a few minutes from bars and coffee shops the area is well worth a visit.

Mrs Drake May 2019

“Overall we had a lovely holiday however we were a little disappointed by the property as it was on an estate and felt a bit odd lacking the character that other places we have stayed at had.”

I also think the lack of drying facilities i.e. heated towel rail or tumble dryer was an issue when it was wet (an outside clothes dryer is not ideal when it’s raining)

- Mrs Drake, May 2019
Mr Waters May 2019

“I have booked via Sykes before and have always been pleased”

Mrs Hoffie February 2019

“Lovely cottage, so cosy and warm and very clean on arrival.”

Every detail thought of and so homely but not cluttered, lovely and modern and tidy. Really comfy beds, very well equipped kitchen, comfy sitting room with great eating area. Modern bathroom and great outdoor area with drying facilities. Local shops only minutes away, 10/15 min walk to town centre. Really near loads of nice dog walks. So relaxing, will definitely be back! Was a real haven and could have stayed another week!

- Mrs Hoffie, February 2019
Miss Groves February 2019

“It was absolutely fantastic and perfect for what was required!”

Close enough to walk into town and detailed information pack on arrival. Small issue when first arrived which was dealt with efficiently and caused no problem to our experience!

Mr Worth December 2018

“Great property and a nice touch with the hamper”

- Mr Worth, December 2018
Mrs Mainprize August 2018

“When we arrived at the cottage after a 10 hour journey (this was due a diversion on the A9 of 1 and 1/2 hrs, not your fault just added to the strain of the day) the cottage had not been cleaned or linens changed since the last people had left.”

I called the management agency, the number was located in the information file. They advised they thought it was clean and had not been in that day to check. They advised that they were aware we were coming and had made a mistake. We all make mistakes, although I was surprised. We were asked to leave the cottage for up to 2hrs so it could be cleaned. As you can imagine this was not ideal. We were tired, hungry and needed to rest after such a long drive. I was not happy at all. We returned to the cottage at 6.30 and it had been cleaned, it was just something we did not need. I hope this does not happen again. I felt it had to be brought to your attention as it tainted the holiday experience.

- Mrs Mainprize, August 2018
Mr Roberts June 2018

“Cottage was adequate for our purposes, but as a modern semi on a housing estate definitely lacking in character compared to most Sykes Cottages.”

One shortcoming was there was nowhere to dry towels - needed a bathroom radiator or heated towel rail.

- Mr Roberts, June 2018
Mr Bower March 2018

“Great location.”

Nice quiet walk/cycle away from main road into center. Steam train passes right by the house - amazing view, it only passes a few times a day so it's not a problem. House very nice, beds very comfy. Minor issue with bathroom was fixed super quick by a local tradesman - great response. Coat hanging space at the backdoor would have been handy. No drying frame for inside - there is a line outside but weather was poor so we couldn't use it after washing a few items. Full access to Sky Movie package which is great for the evenings.
