Ms Wilson
October 2020

“This delightful and very comfortable flat is in an excellent location, just minutes from the high street in Jedburgh.”

We found that it had everything we needed, it is well-appointed and felt just like home, Despite being so central, it is very quiet and the parking is excellent. Jedburgh is a lovely town with a great selection of eateries, much to see and is the perfect place for exploring the Scottish Borders. Wonderful! We had a great time and will stay here again!!

Mrs Bishop April 2021

“The accommodation was perfect and in a great position to make the most of the great walking and facilities in Jedburgh.”

I was disappointed that I had to pay £6 for the pleasure of having to ring Sykes Cottages because it was last minute, even though I was very happy to book and pay online.

- Mrs Bishop, April 2021
Mr Middlehurst August 2020

“Due to covid restrictions tha abbey,castle and Mary Queen of Scots house were all closed to visitors,which was unfortunate.”

We had a great time visiting Kelso, Melrose, Hawick and enjoyed Jedburgh also. It is always a great experience to enjoy a Sykes cottage property.

- Mr Middlehurst, August 2020
Mr Roxborough July 2020

“The owners made available a lot of paperwork about the local area.”

Since the Tourist Information Office was shut, this store of information was invaluable. I particularly liked the book about the Waterloo Monument and we were able to enjoy the local countryside by using the file of carefully mapped walks.

- Mr Roxborough, July 2020
Mr Russell March 2020

“The home is in a great central location for Jedburgh and is a pleasant and comfortable flat.”

The rooms are a good size and nice and bright.

- Mr Russell, March 2020
Mrs Lewis January 2020

“Approach was strange, between white vans at the opening of a very tight alley lined with dustbins.”

Initial impressions were negative, especially on opening the front door to be greeted by a horrible stink emanating from the bathroom. This smell srayed with us for the whole stay. The owner's housekeeper did what she could, but it reduced rather than eliminated the smell. We bought disinfectant and used it twice daily to try to get rid of / mask the smell. The property was generally clean enough, but the bathroom had a lot of black mould or dirt along the bottom of the skirting and in the joints of the floor tiles. The pipework behind the washbasin and to the side of the toilet was filthy - had not been cleaned in months (years?). The dishwasher broke down with a full load of dirty crockery. The instructions for the wifi were hidden behind a curtain and there was no provision for recycling.

- Mrs Lewis, January 2020
Mr Smith October 2019

“Very spacious flat could easily live there.”

You can visit plenty of places all within 1 hour drive stopped 1 wk but only saw half of it

- Mr Smith, October 2019
Mr Whitley September 2019

“Ideal flat for a couple.”

Very convenient for town centre.

- Mr Whitley, September 2019
Mrs Lowder September 2019

“Good communication with the owner.”

Flat was very convenient with everything needed for a comfortable stay. We would definitely return. A good base for visiting other border towns.

- Mrs Lowder, September 2019
Mr Murray August 2019

“Booked this for my in-laws & they had a lovely time.”

They said the accommodation was very clean & comfortable. Everything they needed for a week away. Excellent location.

- Mr Murray, August 2019
Mrs Grant July 2019

“The cottage was very handy to the town within walking distance.”

It could have been cleaner in areas. It would have been helpful if few toiletries in bathroom ie more than one toilet roll etc etc. Parking was very handy. Otherwise good cottage for a couple.

- Mrs Grant, July 2019
Mrs Toase July 2019

“This is our 3rd visit and again was everything we wanted.”

This flat is extremely comfortable and is so close to the town for shopping and walking. It is ideal for a couple. Very clean and tidy and well presented. The bed is very comfortable and with a walk-in shower is great if you are a little disabled as all on the lower floor with no steps, although would be too small if in a wheelchair. Would highly recommend.

- Mrs Toase, July 2019
Brown June 2019

“They should have had a written description of how to get the wifi and use the tv.”

We had to call the caretaker out to rectify both. Even she had difficulties. Otherwise, it was a lovely week. Close to the town centre. Not too far from main attractions in the Borders. The Kelpies were the highlight I must say.

- Brown, June 2019
Mr West June 2019

“Cottage was in a good central location for the town with convenient parking.”

- Mr West, June 2019
Mr Findley May 2019

“Lovely apartment that we have been to several times.”

Always clean and comfortable! Lots of great places to visit near Jedburgh within an hours drive.

- Mr Findley, May 2019
Mrs Thomson April 2019

“Convenient location both for town centre and visiting other parts of the Scottish Borders.”

Parking a big bonus plus very quiet location although central to amenities etc.

- Mrs Thomson, April 2019
Mrs Taylor March 2019

“Good sizeable and comfortable accommodation with easy connection to a range of towns and places of interest.”

There are a number of strolls by the river within easy reach and the high street and shops very convenient. Owner makes you very welcome

- Mrs Taylor, March 2019
Mrs Ruiter March 2019

“Op een ochtend deed de cv het niet en dat is nog dezelfde opgelost.”

Erg fijn! Eén minpuntje; voor 8 dagen verblijf hadden we per persoon slechts 1 grote en 1 kleine handdoek. Gelukkig hadden we de beschikking over een wasmachine.

- Mrs Ruiter, March 2019
Miss Davies February 2019

“Our second stay at this property, good parking, quiet and it met our needs very well.”

Just behind the high street so handy for the shops and next door to one of the main attractions of the town. Ideal place for exploring the Scottish Borders.

- Miss Davies, February 2019
Mrs Cooke January 2019

“Very comfortable cottage Owner very pleasant to deal with”

- Mrs Cooke, January 2019
Ms O'keeffe November 2018

“Positives- So, so many positives.”

Great location. First holiday I’ve felt ‘at home’. Warm,comfortable, had almost everything you could want. So easy. Owners were fantastic! Negatives- Could be cleaner. No bathmat, take your own or use the hand towel and could do with an extra dishwasher tablet but these are minor things. I’d definitely stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

- Ms O'keeffe, November 2018
Miss Davies October 2018

“No, it is a good flat in a central area for the Scottish Borders.”

The flat itself is at the back of the town so access to the stores etc: is exceptionally convenient.

- Miss Davies, October 2018
Mrs Toase September 2018

“Extremely brilliant accommodation.”

Very good location near to town and all facilities. Lovely places nearby to visit and easy to get to. This is our 2nd visit and we loved it. The flat has everything you need for a really comfortable stay and is beautifully equipped. Would highly recommend for a couple looking for a lovely holiday.

- Mrs Toase, September 2018
Mr Turnbull August 2018

“Comfortable accommodation.”

- Mr Turnbull, August 2018
Mr Moorcroft July 2018

“We were totally delighted with our Flat, the size, the cleanliness, the location, all that was provided ie toiletries, tea bags, milk etc.”

You certainly go that extra mile to ensure you're guests are comfortable and satisfied. Both my partner and I agreed that we had never felt so sad to be leaving a holiday. Jedburgh is a beautiful town, ideal for touring The Borders, and we are both fully intending to return some day. Our Gratitude is bigger than my girlfriends backside Many thanks Ray Moorcroft

- Mr Moorcroft, July 2018
Mr Peek July 2018

“Very central, which was excellent, as we were there (though we didn't know till we got there) for the Jedburgh Callant festival, so were able to stroll along to watch!”

- Mr Peek, July 2018
Mr Groves June 2018

“Accommodation was exactly what we had hoped for to enjoy a quiet relaxing holiday in the Borders.”

Each day gave us the option of either enjoying the excellent local facilities and attractions or having a drive deeper into Scotland. A friendly community in a lovely part of the world.

- Mr Groves, June 2018
Ms Wilson June 2018

“We really enjoyed our holiday at this apartment as it was clean, comfortable and quiet.”

The living space and bedroom were larger than we had expected and well furnished. Off-street parking and a washing machine made life easy, as did the modern supermarket and various shops just around the corner. Jedburgh is a charming town from which to explore the many delights of the surrounding area.

- Ms Wilson, June 2018
Mr Findley May 2018

“Very clean and comfortable!”

Our second visit to the property, and we will be back! Everything is provided, and in good condition. The bed is the best one we have ever slept in! It is so comfortable-it’s untrue! Jedburgh itself has a few good places to visit, the best being the Castle Jail. Free to use, but worth a donation. Same with Queen Mary ‘s House. Only problem is they both have lots of steep stairs! Okay if you don’t have any problems. Would certainly recommend a visit to Jedburgh and the Borders area!

- Mr Findley, May 2018
Mrs Blackman May 2018

“Ideally situated for exploring.”

Glad of private parking area. Everything we needed had been thought about. Lovely little place.

- Mrs Blackman, May 2018
Mr Bilton May 2018

“Everything great couldnt ask for more great accomodation even down to needle and cotton”

- Mr Bilton, May 2018
Mr Aylott April 2018

“The only irritating thing about my stay was the sound of renovation/decoration from the flat immediately above No3, which seemed to be going on interminably through the day and quite late into the evening.”

Obviously, this has nothing to do with the owners of No3, but it could give rise, I imagine, to complaints from people more sensitive than I am to this sort of noise. Didn't spoil my stay, and the apartment was otherwise excellent value, considering it's location.

- Mr Aylott, April 2018
ShellNottinghamshire March 2018

“A little gem”

We stayed for a week and loved it, the apartment is very well equipped and surprisingly spacious for a 1 bedroomed apartment. We couldn't have asked for more it was so warm and comfortable especially as we had snow. Jedburgh itself is a great base and everyone we met locally were very friendly especially in the local pub The Tavern 2 minutes away.

- ShellNottinghamshire, March 2018
Mr King February 2018

“Excellent holiday in the Scottish Borders.”

Perfect location for exploring what the border region has to offer. Comfortable accommodation provided for all our needs. Highly recommended.

- Mr King, February 2018
Miss Johnson December 2017

“Really lovely apartment, where time stood still.”

Visited the abbey, must return to do the jail and queen Mary's hour. Plus loads of places to eat, perfect for a short break away from busy city life.

- Miss Johnson, December 2017
Mr Pole October 2017

“Very accommodating owner.”

Super flat.

- Mr Pole, October 2017

Can’t be faulted- we have already booked for next year! Will try to get a van to nick the bed!!! PatnBill Findley

“Homely and welcoming flat in a lovely historic town”

I came here for a week principally to get some time and space to work, and this little flat was a lovely, warm and comforting place to do this. It's a fantastic place to relax - a real home from home, very clean and well equipped. Thank you for a perfect stay!

- cainpi, January 2017

“Excellent accommodation”

My husband and I spent time touring the Scottish Borders and our holiday flat was ideal for this purpose. Centrally located in a quiet area of the hisotric town of Jedburgh and within walking distance of all local amenities. Our accommodation had everything we needed with lots of lovely little touches.
