Lintie Cottage Reviews

Can't fault our stay one bit , host ,we're very helpful and if we needed ... Can't fault our stay one bit , host ,we're very helpful and if we needed anything, they were straight onto it , what can I say view's are beautiful, the hot tub was a relaxing place with beautiful views, my 2 dogs enjoyed as much as we did , I will definitely return in the future, thank you for making my stay as comfortable as possible
Cottage is in a lovely location with lovely things to see and do. Lovley views. Hot tub was a bonus and kept topped up by the owner. We were kept awake by dogs barking most nights which wasn't much fun. Kitchen was not very well equipped some basic items missing such as a measuring jug, grater, bowl to mix thing in, oven gloves. There were no coat hooks to hang coats up, which would be a real problem when it's wet weather. There was a good washing machine, but no washing basket or airer to dry clothes. Bedroooms were a good size and worked well for the 4 of us. The 4 of us had no WiFi connection the whole time we were there. It would be best to be clear about this rather than say intermittent which it really wasn't.
Gillian
Great property . Helpful staff . Had a great stay . Only downside was the noisy pipes at night kept us up .
Heather
We love Meiklebob Farm especially the hot tub and the friendliness of the owners as well as their speedy responsiveness to any requests or issues.
Excellent accommodation in beautiful location. The hot tub was a great treat and ideally sited with views over the bay. The cottage was clean and tidy. Our only niggles were neither dishwasher nor vacuum cleaner were working, and basic kitchen cookwear weren't provided
Kimberley
The cottage was lovely, great location, clean with wonderful views. Sadly the whole week was spoiled by noisy pipes during the night, keeping us all up. The noise frightened my granddaughter so much we had to change the sleeping arrangements as she didnt want to be by herself. We purchased ear plugs, they didnt help much and we stopped using the water after 8pm but this had little effect. Sorry but I couldnt go back here as what should have been a restful holiday was spoiled. We complained to the owner who told us it was the pipes and it would settle down. It didnt. Through the day it wasnt too bad as we were out or had tv on. My husband said he thinks it was water hammer With pipes contracting and expanding and it was others using the system too
The main issue was a complete lack of communication. The advert for the lodge said there was a BBQ which there wasn't. It also said there was WiFi, it even went so far as to say it was intermittent due to the rural area. There was no WiFi of any kind and when I tried to call the 2 mobiles constantly go to voicemail I even sent a text asking with no response. We also paid for a cottage with a hot tub for 3 nights. We were told on arrival that the hot tub would be up to temperature in a couple of hours. This was not the case. When I called about it with no answer and had to leave yet another voicemail a man arrive to check it and said it would not be ready until the next morning as it had been totally emptied to clean. This I feel is not right, great that it was cleaned but they should not be charging for the full use of the hot tub if you can't on your day of arrival. There is also a cleanliness issue, the woman who greeted us said she could not come in due to covid restrictions. This wouldn't have made a difference as there was still food and drink residue on the dining table. Clearly not been cleaned. As part of your departure they ask you to clean before you leave. I feel given there prices this should not be the case either as you don't have this anywhere else. Especially when they don't even clean it properly. They don't even clean away the masses of spiders webs that are in every room. This is also a working farm so expect to be woken before 7am with varies vehicle movements and dogs barking.
Brilliant holiday cottage with fantastic views. Hot tub was wonderful even if we were in a heatwave. Everything was in the cottage, good communication from owners.
Leanne
After a small issue with double booking which was sorted out quickly the owner very kindly expressed his concern about us being put out & gave us some wine as an apology which was gratefully received. The property was lovely & comfortable, the owner was lovely & regularly checked in with guests he seemed to like the fact that his guests were enjoying themselves, would highly recommend this place & would defo stay again xx

We also recommend a visit to Castle Douglas and the Treasure Hunt Treasure Trails. These treasure hunts are great fun for the whole family and are an entertaining way to explore a new town or village. Children will enjoy solving the clues whilst learning about the history of the area. The walking trail is suitable for wheelchair users and those with pushchairs so no one is left out of the fun.

Kids can run around on the Soft Play Area while mum and dad relax in the Tea Room. There is also a Farm Shop onsite selling toys, gifts and fresh local produce including cakes and jams.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

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...
