A lovely, quaint cottage. Beautifully clean when we arrived and very welcoming. A detailed folder with emergency numbers, how to work things, suggestions of places to eat etc. A very short walk (about a minute) to the stoney beach. Stairs are steep. The main bathroom is downstairs. The smallest room has a very small toilet in it but was useful for those early morning interruptions! Nice size kitchen with lots of appliances. Parking is an issue but we always found free parking spaces up the sea front road. I loved this little cottage.

Wonderful setting in Perth but quite expensive. Cottage was clean and tidy. The National Trust for Scotland staff made me feel so welcome. They were 5 star all the way.

Cottage was rural with space for 1 car per cottage, there are 3 cottages in total. The stables is the first one and is overlooked, it has a lowish fence which other cottages walk around. The back of the owners accommodation looks directly on to it. The only time we spoke to the owners was when they told us we'd left the outside light on all night while they cleaned the hot tub about 4.30pm on our first proper day. Cottage has a lovely modern kitchen which is full of everything air fryer, slow cooker, washing machine, but it only has a teeny tiny freezer, and a smallish fridge so bear this in mind. It has a nice modern bathroom but the shower needs a pump for power imo, there is a useful downstairs loo too. The dogs aren't allowed upstairs which was difficult as ours have access at home and aren't used to being segregated. There is a stair gate that helps. I'd have liked a fan in the property as it got hot upstairs. There are TVs in both bedrooms and living room, none are smart though so no Netflix or streaming, I'd have taken my fire stick if I'd known. There is also a locked door in the bedroom which I personally found really off putting. Lots of dog poo in the garden when we arrived we picked up 4 poos from other people which is a bit disrespectful, pick up after your dogs before you leave. Hot tub was cooler then we were used to and we couldn't seem to turn it up. The cover to the hot tub is also heavy and seems a bit broken compared to others we've used. It's really hard to pull back over. It was a nice touch though. Well situated for diddly squat, Cotswolds zoo etc etc all of which are dog friendly. Really enjoyed this area to holiday In and you can tell it's a labour of love to the owners, they have tried hard to make this a home from home for people.

Usually book through Sykes. The cottages are always of a good standard and match the description given (unlike some booking companies).

Pelham house has everything you need for a stay in Keswick in the Lake District. It is only a five minute walk into Keswick and from there only five minutes to Derwent Water. The house itself has everything you need, three bedrooms, two on the first floor and the third on the second floor where there is also a bathroom, toilet and two sinks. The second floor bathroom is very old and although thoroughly usable could do with a refit. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, living room which is comfortable and has a decent TV and the kitchen which also has all that is necessary. Overall good - would happily stay there again.

We stayed there for 4 days. We have 2 children and 1 toddler. Daughters 10 and 14 slept on the sofa bed but it wasn’t as comfortable as the bed in the master bedroom. The master bed was really big so it could fit 3 people. The rooms were very spacious and all the utensils were there so we didn't need to bring a lot of items to our room. The balcony was quite nice and it showed off a really nice view. I would love to stay there again.
