"Delightful cottage with a beautiful garden and a very welcome Welcome package!"
The facilities were great and the location for our holiday couldn’t have been better. Would definitely revisit and recommend to others. (One very minor quibble but worth mentioning is the oven trays could do with replacing.)
Noted the oven trays, however, thank you for all your positive feedback. Great to hear this. Property Owner

The weather was awful so we had to be inside more than we wanted but was nice to enjoy the fabulous views whilst having a glass or two of wine Daisy (our cocker spaniel) agrees with the other reviews regarding the garden - she loved it Have already booked another stay, hopefully the weather will be better! Thank you Craig

"A lovely cottage that has been very well renovated - good kitchen, nice lounge, good size bedrooms and excellent bathrooms."
Huge garden and quiet. A great place to walk with walks in the woods only 100mtrs away and longer walks in the very quiet lanes - my dog loved it. The river Esk is 25 mtrs away - a glorious river. The owner very accommodating - nothing but good things to say about this cottage,
Thank you for your lovely response. Property Owner

"Superb cottage."
Lovely welcoming feel as you walk through the door. There was a loaf of bread, milk, butter, tea and some dog treats made available on arrival, which is a very thoughtful gesture. Very clean and tidy, all the homely comforts. Fantastic views, and woodland walks right on your doorstep. Very peaceful and tranquil. Plenty of places to visit only a short drive away. Annan is a lovely place to visit, just 15 mins by car. Overall a delightful cottage in beautiful surroundings, will definitely be booking again.

"The most wonderful holiday accommodation I have ever stayed in!"
A beautiful setting, well equipped, there was little that could be improved! It really was like a home from home for us and rest assured we'll be back. Craig was out and about on his farm, but always had time for a chat if we saw him, and was so quick to replace a lightbulb that we found on our first evening. A real lasting legacy and tribute to the vision of Lucy.
-
"We had a very relaxing stay at this impressive cottage in a quiet rural area."
Plenty of walks from the cottage, and well placed for south of Scotland, Borders and the Lake district. The owner was very helpful and close at hand. We would recommend this cottage and hope to stay again.

"A really comfortable cottage, nicely converted and decorated, very well furnished and equipped."
We've just got home from a good week in Hollows. The cottage is right next to the River Esk. Opening the bedroom window at night gave a soothing background sound that soon sent me off to sleep. During the day, quiet roads and woodland paths gave places to walk and relax straight from the front door. Or sometimes I just enjoyed sitting in the sun in the large garden. The wood provided for the fire was well-dried and soon provided a warm, homely blaze in the evening. Many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into providing and running this place.
-
"We stayed for a week at Lucy's Cottage and it was amazing."
The cottage was very well equipped, had good quality furnishings throughout and was spotlessly clean. Very large double bedroom and the most comfortable bed. 2nd bedroom was a single - again very comfortable. Setting was perfect for us with lovely walks. Garden enclosed so our dog was perfectly safe. Lovely welcome pack which was greatly appreciated. We will certainly be back.
-
"Lucy’s cottage is extremely comfortable, well equipped and with a great deal of attention to detail."
It is set in a lovely, large garden which provided freedom for our dog. The owner, Craig, was very welcoming and on hand to provide local knowledge. The location is peaceful, with easy access to travel further afield, or walk the dog from the doorstep.
-
"This was the best cottage I have stayed in by far, we didn't want to come home, the place was spotless and comfortable, the bed was amazing, everything you needed was in the kitchen, the welcome pack for both us and the dog was a lovely touch and greatly appreciated, garden was beautiful and lots of birds, very peaceful and just what both me and my husband needed,and our little dog had lots of fabulous walks, will definitely be back and intend to stay for longer if possible, thankyou for a wonderful week."

"Lucy's cottage is superb."
We've now stayed in 4 of Sykes cottages over the past 4 years, all brilliant and top notch. But, this one is up there at number 1. A credit to the property owners, Craig, and the late Lucy, whom we felt was with us, smiling away, and seeing us enjoying our week with our Airedale Puppy, Millie. The Facilities of Lucy's Cottage had everything needed. It's Spotlessly clean, well presented and very peaceful, along with being in a superb location, next too the river Esk. There are plenty of beautiful walks to take your dog around this area. A visit to Annan and the Cafe Royal is a must if you like fish n chips.There the best myself and Mandy have ever tasted. Freshly caught over night, and served that same day. Mmmm lovely!! A visit to the lake district and Unsworth water, Carlisle too, is not far away. Overall 5 stars for everything. A big thank you to Alan, the gardener, whom we appreciated popping around now and again doing his work, keeping the outside clean. And of course, keeping him going with a friendly cuppa n lovely chat. Last but not least, Craig, the owner. A very nice gentleman to meet and talk too. We are very privileged having stayed in this Cottage, " Lucy's Cottage " You now have the legacy of Lucy. Compliments to you. A fantastic well needed magical stay. We will return. Thank You Craig. Rob/ Mandy/ Puppy Millie

"A lovely well equipped cottage."

"Lucy's Cottage is a wonderful, beautifully finished and well appointed place to stay."
Right next to the river Esk, with great walks on the doorstep, and the nearest village, Canonbie, easily reachable by foot. Lots of light throughout the cottage, a quiet spot secluded from the A7 as it is in a dip below the main road. Had some good chats with the owner who's farm is next to cottage, who really wants you to have the best stay possible. Such a nice guy! The pictures don't do it justice I feel, so many nice features be hard to list them all. Can't wait to get back!

About the location
LANGHOLM
Lockerbie 18 miles; Carlisle 19 miles; Hawick 23 miles.
Langholm is a burgh on the River Esk in Dumfries and Galloway. From Mesolithic Man 9000 years ago, through Roman occupation to the notorious Border Reivers around the 16th century, Langholm has much history to share. The town developed around the textile industry, achieving a worldwide reputation for its woollens, expanding its population and earning the nickname of the ‘Muckle Toon’, or the Large Town. Langholm is also famous as the birthplace of Hugh MacDiarmid, the poet and Thomas Telford who was born just outside the town and after whom a road in the town is named. An unused Episcopalian church was converted into the Armstrong clan museum and was visited by astronaut Neil Armstrong in 1972 when he was made a freeman of the burgh. The town also hosts festivals for music, food and arts and the annual Common Riding draws many visitors. Within easy reach is Lockerbie, home to a good selection of bars and shopping facilities, as well as a jazz festival. A short drive from Langholm in the River Esk Valley is the Kagyu Samye Ling, the first Tibetan Buddhist Centre established in the West. As well as offering residential retreats, day visitors are welcome all year round to explore the temple or relax in the peace gardens and grounds.
