"This cottage far exceeded our expectations."
Located in a lovely rural area on a farm, easy access to Stirling and Falkirk and beyond. Very spacious, very clean and the photos are absolutely accurate. I would happily rent this cottage for a long term if I lived in the area. Wendy was helpful and a great host. We really loved our stay.

"A lovely cottage!"
Modern, comfortable in a country setting! Flowers and herbs, peace and quiet yet close enough to see the wonders of Scotland! We had a wonderful stay, cooked most of our meals as everything we needed was in the modern kitchen! Plenty of space yet cozy and clean, we felt right at home! The owners were friendly, kind and helpful! We did not want to leave! We highly recommend the cottage for a quiet, comfortable and peaceful stay in Scotland! Thank you for our enjoyable and relaxing stay!

It is beautifully equipped with all possible fixtures and fittings. The setting is so peaceful and quiet - Covid seems to be miles away.

"Our second Sykes' cottage booking this year - this last minute break did not disappoint."
A lovely cottage that has been thoughtfully renovated and designed. Lots of space, the kitchen and dining room were both really nice and the lounge was equally good - very comfy sofas! The downstairs shower room was well equipped and modern and the upstairs bathroom was also very smart. The 2 bedrooms were large with good sized beds. Lots of storage space for everything we took with us. The cottage had everything anyone would need. We took our own towels and used our own condiments/foil/cling film/cooking oil etc, but we didn't need to, the kitchen drawers and cupboards had so many items for people to use.
We ate in at night, as we were out every day - it was nice and relaxing to be in MuirMailing for a week away.
Wendy was lovely, very helpful -also really nice to see the ponies going out on the field when it wasn't too wet and the dogs were so well behaved.
A really great place to stay - 40 minutes from Edinburgh - lovely walks around Stirling Castle and Edinburgh, plus the country park nearby. Would highly recommend

The mobile signal on the 3 network was not very good but that was mentioned in the details of the cottage so expected. The showers were excellent. The beds were comfy, as was all the furniture. The kitchen is very well equiped.
The cottage is very convenient for visiting Stirling, Falkirk, Glasgow and Edinburgh areas with lots of places of interest to visit within a reasonable distance.
We would stay there again to visit the area and recommend it to family and friends.

Really nice cottage in a nice quiet location with lovely views of the hills and mountains to the North & East. Cottage very well appointed and felt really homely. Only regret is that we could only manage a short stay, when a week or two would have been perfect. Well positioned for the shops in Stirling and well situated to major roads to head down to Edinburgh or Glasgow or head north to the Trossachs and Highlands. Quite fancy going back some time in the not distant future. Many thanks to Wendy & Graham for a lovely stay.

The owner of the cottage couldn't do enough for us, as far as suggestions for worth seeing areas, directions, even helped us with a dilemma regarding another booking a week later.. She went above and beyond. We loved the farm atmosphere, the owner was a champ with the animals, absolutely nothing we could say remotely negative. We give this a 10 plus.... best cottage we have ever rented, and we've rented quite a few in Europe. Thanks Wendy, you were a champ, and you were so very helpful in all respects.
