It is a lovely characterful property that is very well presented and in a great location

Nothing

Cosy cottage on National Trust wooded grounds and well equipped. Great location for walks and locations around Deeside.

Everything was good! It didn’t have internet - but to tell you the truth it was a relief to be not connected all the time!

it’s location was perfect for a quiet beautiful break. if you have a dog as we do, then this is dog walking heaven on your doorstep. if you are a NT member then that is a bonus too to see the castle.

I am having to be picky as we really loved the location. This is an old granite property and despite the central heating the rooms were quite cold and took a while to heat up, but nothing a jumper didn’t cure!!

Wonderful to be in grounds of Crathes if you like walking. Very clean and comfortable.

Heating not on or working on arrival (around midnight in February in Scotland). Horrible night and freezing (literally) start the next morning. Sykes Cottages were superb and contacted the hosts and they fixed the heating by about 1pm, and left a bottle of white wine, presumably as an apology. After this, very much enjoyed our stay. No wifi is a serious problem though. So many covid forms, boarding passes etc etc to work out these days so no wifi and very poor mobile signal an issue that could be fixed so easily by putting wifi in.
