• "Edge Hill is a super little cottage, it is spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable."

  It is the perfect base for visiting Galloway and surrounding area. The bed is comfortable, the bed is tight in the bedroom, as shown by the photos but dont think a lot can be done about that. I hit my toes on bed leg as I was getting into bed and it hurts but I learnt to be careful lol. I wanted for nothing more in the kitchen, everything was there. We visited both The Clachen and Lochinvar Hotel both were excellent. We went to see The Red Deer Range and fed the deers (they love carrots) and saw the Wild Goats. Raiders Road and Otters Pool well worth a visit. Also as a Liverpool supporter went to Glen Buck where Bill Shankly was born. Would we come back to Edge Hill.....you bet we would. Thank you for the treats you left us.

  Hi Julie, thank you for your wonderful comments. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Edge Hill and found it to be a perfect base, you certainly packed a lot in! We’re sorry that you hit your toes on the bed leg, we are thinking of getting a small double divan but are unsure whether this would make for a slightly less comfortable sleep or be beneficial, as it would make the bedroom more spacious. We're glad you enjoyed the treats and we would love to have you stay again. Kind regards, Adam. Property Owner

  Damp smell in living room bedroom to small mattress uncomfortable fire alarm went of from 10pm to 1am before got it ofno answer on owner phone he phoned me next day and then asked if I had dog because it was ten pound charge I booked the holiday through homestogo not you the booking was for 2adult and 1 small dog left 10 pounds on board at cottage and had to put wheels bins out myself not much of a holiday

  Hi Davina, wow, reading your feedback it sounds like you've had the worst holiday ever. We're not sure as to why your review is on Sykes website as you booked through Home to go but we shall address your comments here anyway. We're sorry you felt the living room smelt damp; we do have an old cottage but we definitely don't have any damp. We haven't had any issues before with the smoke alarms going off or since your stay. If you had only left me a message or text, instead of a missed call at 11:30pm when you phoned me, we would have been more than happy to try and fix the problem for you that night. Regarding the dog charge, Sykes have put our cottage on third party websites, including Homes to go, that we were unaware of. The information on these websites is inaccurate and we feel misleading eg: that we have a pet charge, the narrow bedroom, no smoking or vape pens. Had you seen our listing on Sykes, you may not have chosen our cottage due to the narrow bedroom, dog charge and no vaping being allowed. Our booking information only showed two adults, not two adults and one dog, which we feel is due to the miscommunication between booking companies. After our nice chat on the phone with you, we did say to you that we did not want the dog charge and Sykes informed you of the same, as we felt that you had already paid for your holiday for two adults and one dog through homes to go. We're sorry if you had trouble putting the wheelie bin out, if you had said, we would have been happy to do this for you. However, you did book a self catering holiday cottage for a week and the bins do have to be emptied. Regards, Adam Property Owner

• "My wife found the bed very uncomfortable, not because of the limited access but because of the mattress."

  Extra pillows would have been good. A cafetiere in the kitchen would have been nice - although I knew there wasn't one I failed to pack one.

  Hi Simon, we're so sorry your wife found the bed very uncomfortable and we're sad that you didn't reach out to us and ask for extra pillows, as we would have been more than happy to give you some more. It's unfortunate that you forgot to pack your cafetiere, as we mentioned in our email correspondence with you prior to your stay, this is something that we don't have in the cottage. We hope you had an enjoyable time in Dumfries and Galloway. Kind regards, Adam. Property Owner

• "Extremely well equipped, lovely cottage in a quiet edge of village setting."

  Southern Upland Way passes right by the door. Nice touch on arrival; milk, teabags and biscuits provided and much appreciated. Rear garden gravelled throughout with table and chairs to enjoy the view. Bedroom is a little narrow as described and care is needed. Kitchen has everything for a comfortable stay. Placement of the toilet roll holder made us smile, located on the wall behind the toilet. For convenience, suggest moving it to the wall opposite, next to the radiator. We didn't use the wood burning stove in the lounge, but can see others may appreciate it. Cold times of the year however, may require adjustment of the electric heating timings. Overall a very pleasant stay and would not hesitate to recommend the cottage. Plenty of interest in the area to keep visitors entertained. Thanks for the stay from Anne, Stephen and the dogs.

• "We were made very welcome with milk & biscuits both fir humans & dogs."

  Sofa large & comfortable. Nice sized garden with good seating area & table, south facing & the weather was very hot so well used. Great shower, ample towels. I know the listing made it quite clear the bedroom was narrow but the bed frame sticks out so on the first night I managed to bash my shin and because the weather was warm it was like sleeping in a shoe box. But the worse thing was the sheet, thick & woolly, really uncomfortable. (Probably due to the unusual heatwave). There is no door between the kitchen & lounge either so it was difficult to get the dogs to sleep in their beds in the kitchen. Having said all that we did have a lovely week, the kitchen was great, lounge really comfy, good porch to dump your walking stuff. Nice sized garden with interest for the dogs & great shower.

  Hi Jacqueline, thank you for leaving your feedback. We're pleased you felt so welcomed to Edge Hill and found both the inside and garden a nice place to enjoy your stay. It's nice to know you found the lounge and sofa comfy and that you thought the kitchen and shower was great too! Apologies that you found the sheet thick, woolly and therefore really uncomfortable. We do leave contact details in the cottage, for anything, no matter how big or small, we will do our best to help. We would have been more than happy to have changed your sheet to make your stay comfortable had you got in touch.

  Having rented many holiday cottages over the decades I have experienced places that vary from barely adequate to superb, but rarely are they so well equipped and with clear instructions for the appliances and local information. Often it is a mystery as to how to operate some weird domestic appliance, or there is a strange mish mash of kitchen utensils, but not at Edge Hill which had a properly equipped kitchen and clear instructions for everything. Also, nice touches like having the Ordnance Survey maps available.

• "Handy location for my activities at Forest Lodge where I needed to come and got at random times and have food preparation facilities."

  Didn't have chance to use the log burner due to being out most of the time so not worth lighting the fire, but noticed that although there were a reasonable number of logs there was no spare kindling for a second fire if I had used it. Thankfully the storage heaters just about kept enough warmth in he cottage to allow me to be reasonable comfortable in the cold weather. Only real issue was that the bedroom was rather cramped and I found it impossible to walk down the side of the bed especially with arthritic knees and being a large person. I ended up having to move the bed to one side to increase the space on the other side so that I could squeeze into and out of the bed. In general the cottage was good for my purposes and I am probably looking to book it again for next year - just sad to notice a sizeable price rise for next year.

• "I feel this cottage is overpriced."

  The bedroom is exactly as pictured and described. Too small for comfort and bordering on claustrophobic. Some issues with cleaning - a stained toilet bowl in a new bathroom (which I was able to clean with the cleansers provided). The cooker was greasy inside and bedroom windowsill thick with dust (this may be because it’s really hard to get down the side of the bed). A pint of milk on arrival would have been lovely for us strangers to the area (lots of tea and coffee left). It didn’t spoil our holiday and we’ve had a lovely week. The cottage has a great range of equipment, the garden is wonderful for dog owners and the location fine for access to the Southern Upland Way.

• "A more powerful Vacuum cleaner needed for dog hairs."

  The couch was ok but I'd prefer a higher back for neck support. Having said that a bed settee was a bonus. Altogether a great Sykes cottage as usual.

• "Cottage would be better and more sensibly equipped with a washer/drier as opposed to having a dishwasher."

  The cottage is for a couple whom should hardly generate a lot of dishes. However if you are there for a week or longer it would be so handy to have a washing machine. Despite this, was our second visit to the cottage and thoroughly enjoyed it!

• "The cottage was as expected with a dog friendly enclosed garden."

  Washing machine would have been more use than having a dishwasher. Bed and sofas were a bit soft as I have a sore back. Cottage was ideally situated for touring around the area.

• "Lovely cosy little cottage in a excellent location for walking."

  Cottage was well equipped having everything you need to make a home cooked dinner, the walking guides and OS maps were great, a thoughtful touch! Very dog friendly, our dog really enjoyed his stay too. You could tell a lot of thought went into the making of this holiday cottage. The only minor for us was the bed was firmer than we would habe liked, but this is down to personal taste.

• "Excellent well equipped cottage in a good location."

  It felt very safe and the people were very friendly. The property contained lots of tourist information regarding sightseeing in the surrounding area which was very helpful. There was a pub with a restaurant serving superb, reasonably-priced food within easy walking distance - The Clachan Arms. Our only negative comment was that we found the bed too firm for our liking but this did not detract from a most enjoyable stay.
