Laundry Cottage

  : The secluded location. The non-corporate 'feel'. The house was very clean. Problems were responded to. It was good to be able to sit outside.
  : Just a few minor things: The windows didn't open. The kitchen lacked a few things, e.g. a big pan.

  : The location was wonderfully atmospheric. The cottage was in the middle of woodland with an amazing ruined mansion house just round the corner. Early morning walks were fabulous. The friendly farm centre, with shop and bistro was a 10 minute walk through the woods. We had lovely traditional Scottish meals at the licensed bistro, and handmade pizzas to collect and eat outside one evening - all recommended. The cottage is traditional-style - lots of pine and the millennial young people with me complained that the wifi was too slow - but it was suitably equipped and had Covid-19 procedures in place. Another cottage was joined onto Laundry cottage and there were a few others nearby on the estate. We liked the tennis court and field for football, frisbee etc, the young people watched the large TV (not Smart TV) and we travelled to Edinburgh one day for the tourist experiences. The farm shop sells venison, wine and other local produce as well as Scottish souvenirs and crafts, but we needed to drive to nearby Lanark to buy essential foods. In winter, you can have a log fire as well as the storage heaters so it would make a lovely wintry break. All the cottages on this estate are highly recommended for anyone whose holiday is about nature, walks, restaurants, clean air, talking, tennis and history.
  : The access road to get to the cottage was in places very pot-holed and bumpy - resurfacing would be great, or just filling in the pot holes would save the suspension of the small urban cars as it's quite a long road.

  : Location was ideal.
  : Very dated furnishings. Drive from main road to cottage a nightmare. Private road full of pot holes. Best suited for 4x4 vehicles.

  : The location was great, easy access for day trips to Edinburgh and Loch Lomond. The cottage was clean with most of what you need for a self catering holiday. Easy to find but felt tucked away from the world so was lovely and peaceful.
  : My only criticisms would firstly be the mattress in the master bedroom, personally I didnt find it all that comfortable however it didnt bother my husband. Also the curtains in the master bedroom werent black out ones so as we were there in July it was light very early, not a problem for most people I imagine, Im just a very light sleeper.

  : Very close to my son who lives in Syminton
  : The cottage was so cold when we first arrived. Once it had warmed up it was better. When we were out and then got back about 8 or 9, unfortunately by the time the fire got going it was time for bed.
