“Wonderful property, comfortable, great beds, well appointed kitchen stocked with everything you need and a very kind welcome gift of wine and chocolate. Great location with walks from the doorstep in either direction taking you on coastal walks, through woodland, country lanes and rural footpaths. Silverdale itself is a lovely little village, quiet , but with 2 great pubs, eating out opportunities and a really good Indian Takeaway, as well as a very handy CoOp. It well deserves its 5 star rating but just needs to attend to a couple of gremlins to be absolutely perfect. The toilet rolls are of very poor quality and disintegrate on use. The larger of the towels supplied are not really bath size . And finally the heating. We arrived on the 2nd day of Storm Amy at the 4pm check in time to a very cold property. The only information in the book given was that the heating was on a timer - but no indication as to when? Also that if we wanted to turn up the heating we should turn the dial on the thermostat in the hall. The heating finally came on at 7.15pm by which time you can imagine we were fairly chilled and it wasn't on for very long. We never knew when the heating was going to come on, it didn't always come on in the mornings, and the afternoons likewise. Thanks to having had the foresight to bringing hot water bottles and a fleece throw with us we managed to cope with the colder days, but we would like to think that on our return next year, and we really do want to come back next November ,the heating will be a bit more accomodating to the season.”
“The Cairn is a perfect base for break in the Boat of Garten area. It is cosy and is excellent for 2-3 people looking for a well furnished cottage with everything you need for a break. Prefect for exploring the area such as Loch Garten and the RSPB Osprey site, cycling through to Aviemore and beyond off the road and also popping up to Landmark at Carrbridge. Enjoy a meal at the Boat Hotel or Anderson’s restaurant a few steps from the door. There’s also the Osprey cafe for a coffee or lunch with friendly staff and a really well-stocked shop next door to
The Cairn. We’ll be back again!”
“Recently stayed in a gorgeous cottage in the valley at Sandsend, which was so cosy. Stayed at a lovely cottage in the Lakes in March this year which was lovely too. Always book through Sykes, I haven’t been disappointed with any properties to date.”
“Lovely stay. Fantastic cottage lovely and cosy and clean! Shower was great. Everything you could possibly need. Staff were so nice. The chance to ride on the trains was fantastic. Had a lovely break. It was so peaceful at night.”
“Good accomodation for two people plus a dog. Well located for a walk into Port Isaac. You have to use a grass verge for a couple of hundred yards which might be a problem in very wet weather or for those with mobility issues but, then again, Port Isaac is in itself a challenge to the less mobile. Children will love the little enclosure with the various farm animals.”
“Hendre is a fantastic cottage in a good quiet location. The cottage is well stocked and clean. The Owners are super friendly and helpful.
Highly recommended”
“Absolutely over the moon… even better than the pictures .
The friendliest people I’ve ever spoken to . It was a surprise for the girlfriend a she cried at how beautiful this was . The view from the cabin is 100x better than the photo . It’s breath taking . Lovely hot tub . Amazing bed . Sofa comfy a the tv blew my mind away …
I couldn’t recommend this enough”
“Website is easy to navigate. The booking process is very efficient and you get plenty of reminders about the upcoming holiday, payment requirements etc.”
“Ideal location close ro harbour and town centre, no need to use the car. Lovely walks close by, particularly to Nothe Fort. Cosy well equipped cottage and lovely surprise little hamper of treats on arrival which was very welcome. Would definitely visit again and recommend this cottage.”
