Angus Cottage Reviews

We were looking for somewhere clean, cosy and dog friendly thats exactly what we got. Very comfortable beds, lovely warm and cosy cottagehot tub a massive hit with my sons and the dogs loved having a safe garden to run around in. Christine and her husband were welcoming hosts and having Dottie the pig at the bottom of the garden was just lovely
Positives Spacious and warm cottage, comfy bed and lovely outlook and countryside. Negatives The cottage needs a deep clean and painting. The chrome towel rail, in the main bathroom, is mostly rusty. Signs of mould behind the main door, bedroom window sills and bathroom. The kitchen appliances needed a clean. Dusty on the wall by the side of the cooker hood. Compared to other cottages we have stayed in this rates poorly.
Disappointing. Total lack of warmth and general upkeep to the cottage. No WiFi, the sofa is dirty, the floor is in need of revarnishing, the shower trickles water on all settings. The patio doors were filthy from the previous occupant, no tea towel, a broken dustpan and brush. We were given 1black bin bag for the whole of our seven day duration. No welcome gift as stated in the advertisement. The guttering outside is broken so when ot rained it just poured down the outside of the building. The garden is unkept, the grass in need of mowing and the fencing broken. No hot tub for two days due to what I was told a system error. The advertisement states charming, but there is definitely none of that. I doubt very much we will be using Sykes again and no I would not recommend the company.
This is my second time at Angus cottage. The setting is beautiful, the beds are very comfortable, and the tranquility and peace is invaluable. Perhaps not suitable for those dependant on good WiFi or data signal or who like more than basic freesat provision, but that's one of the reasons I love it the disconnect from tech and screens! Being a returning guest I know to bring a few essentials with me, but it would be helpful if basics like cooking oil, salt and pepper, and a few more dishwasher tablets, were included. But that's nitpicking on my part, I love my stays on the farm and look forward to returning
We had a delightful stay at Angus cottage and will be returning. The setting is delightful. The owners are extremely helpful and approachable.
A great location for a quiet restful stay. The cottage was spacious. Lovely views. The hot tub was the perfect ending to the day. An abundance of wildlife can be viewed from the cottage window. Coastal walks within a couple of miles were another bonus. We would definitely recommend this cottage to our friends.
Lovely little cottage, perfect for a secluded getaway. Friendly owners, great little walks and lots of farm animals to keep the kids entertained.
Thomas
This cottage is very dated. The inside is needing modernised the couch and chair are not comfortable to sit on.No view .The garden were you sit out the grass hadn't been cut.The ramp you walk up into the house had no safety hand rail.The bath had no rubber mat so wasn't safe to shower..You have no WiFi and to say it's intermittent is very mis leading No notice to tell you how things worked .
We really enjoyed our stay at Angus cottage. It was perfect for a family of 3, clean comfortable and safe for a 4 yr old to explore. The hot tub and farm animals were a big hit, especially Poppy the pig! The owners where quick to answer any questions before we arrived so we knew ahead what was provided and what we needed to bring. Whilst other cottages weve stayed at provide basic cooking foodstuff this one didnt but we knew ahead so that didnt bother us and wouldnt put us off booking again. Theres a washing machine and hot tub but initially nowhere to hang wet clothes, however, when we asked the owner he got us a laundry rack so we where sorted pretty quickly. The area is rural and beautiful and with 2 lovely beaches a short drive away rockcliffe and sandyhills. Dumfries is a 30 drive away with a Morrisons and Aldi and there is a lovely farm shop half way there if you want to get local produce or special dietary stuff.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Angus Cottage. The owners were very accommodating and extremely friendly. We couldnt work the hot tub and I was within minutes given instruction on where I was going wrong by the owner. No problem was to small for virtually instant correction. For a working farmer he was always ready to have a chat and see how the holiday was going and suggestions on local attractions. I without hesitation recommend the Angus cottage and also the other cottages in the complex. We will be booking Angus again next year. The hot tub was fabulous. A deep thank you to our hosts see you next year
Lynnette
The accommodation was perfect for our needs and had all commodities to hand . The setting is absolutely beautiful with stunning views . The owners whilst giving us our privacy readily made themselves available for any queries we had or any additional needs. All in all the perfect relaxing holiday that we couldn't pick fault with if we tried. Already planning for next year! Thank you.
Lovely property, amazing views. Excellent having enclosed garden for dogs. Hot tub superb. Such a lovely welcome pack. Friendly hosts. Wifi didnt work but didnt matter. Amazing relaxing break and would definitely return here.
Jeanette
Had a fab time, maybe could do with an extra chair if 4 people came, would definatley come again, so peaceful and relaxing, just what we needed.
Elaine
We really enjoyed our stay but a couple of things could be improved we only had three knives and two spoons in cutlery for a family of four and had to buy a set of cutlery also 5 light bulbs were not working on arrival. There was washing machine but nowhere to dry washing without putting on heating nowhere to hang it outside.
Robert
A big thank you to the cottage owners and Sykes for allowing us to rearrange the dates at short notice.
Alison
Peaceful and relaxing in a friendly and dog friendly environment. Lovely clean and well stocked cottage, the only fault we could find was the fact that we could not connect to the wi fi...... not sure if this was because of bad signal or what, but our phones could not access the IP account. Other than that the holiday was great and good weather too enabled us to enjoy the local estuary and great clean beaches nearby. Covid meant that several places we would have liked to see were closed, so we have an excuse to return! But the young Red Kites put on a fab display for us nearly every day we were there and its great to see bats flying and listen to the owls hooting at night time.
Carole
Spotless clean rooms, very comfortable, spacious and well equipped accommodation, we would definitely recommend.
Isabella
Super friendly hosts and lovely location
Robert
Great area some brilliant places to take the dog for a walk.
Barbara
The setting was beautiful and the Owners very friendly. Explained the cleaning methods they used during the Covid Crisis and that they couldn't go into the property once we had arrived which was very reassuring that they were following safety guidelines. Checked the Hot tub everyday, our daughter & her husband both enjoyed this facility very much.
Suzanne
We've just returned from spending a lovely few days here a friendly welcome, plenty of peace to relax, a lovely hot tub to enjoy and a beautiful area to explore. Thank you very much, Alex!
Robert
It was great to escape shielding to a private oasis in the countryside with a wonderful hot tub. Everything was in place for a sanitised but relaxing break and I would definitely return.

We also recommend a visit to Castle Douglas and the Treasure Hunt Treasure Trails.

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
