    As it’s an old cottage, the stone floors were cold despite the carpets. Couldn’t be helped in any way but take slippers!!

    Cleanliness, homeliness and quietness! My three favourite things about a booking and Tig cottage had all three in spades! The communication from Vic was excellent and we were made feel welcome from first message weeks before the stay. Will definitely return here! Thanks guys.

    Would like the option of a lighter duvet, the cottage really holds its heat so could be a bit warm when sleeping.

    Everything! A complete home from home😀

    The only issue we had was the shower didn't work, and the owners did contact the electrician who couldn't source a new one whilst we were there, unfortunately. This was a pain as my knees aren't as young as they were, and getting out of a bath every day is painful. Baths are not my friends 🙂. The owners and the housekeeper apologised, and unfortunately, it was just one of those things, but knowing it would be replaced, we would recommend and stay again.

    Tig cottage is in a beautiful, tranquil, and ideal location for a peaceful stay. The cottage is decorated beautifully with comfy sofas, bedding, and a large bath. It has everything you would want for a cottage stay. I loved the garden, games and all the information about the area. It is dog friendly, which is what we were after, and came with a dog bed and an emergency dog mess box. The art work and sculptures were lovely and we ended up buying a small sculpture. It is a place where we would happily stay again.

    Immaculately clean and modern. The welcome pack had lots of good ideas and was well thought out. Had an issue with the shower but communication with owner was easy and was sorted really quickly. We got to meet the housekeeper, he had lots of local recommendations. Our dog had a great time and was well catered for.

    I guess, it would be the bathroom being down stairs?? BUT! Having said that, we did know this before booking and for a couple of nights it was no issue, and to be honest it was kinda useful when we came back from a long walk with the dog and his muddy paws! We could go in the back, and straight into the bathroom and pop him in the bath.

    It was spotlessly clean!!

    Absolutely nothing. Can’t fault this place or the owners .

    The cottage has everything you need for your stay . The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to cook a meal . Lovely and cosy and the beds are so comfortable. My dog loves sitting in her bed looking out the patio doors watching the wildlife. This was our 2nd stay at the cottage and we have already booked our third stay later this year . The owners are so approachable and are super nice . Can’t wait to go back .

    That the toilet was so far away from the bedroom. Would be nice to have a cloakroom toilet upstairs just for convenience but apart from that I really enjoyed staying in the cottage.

    The cottage was easy to find, very comfortable, clean, everything you could need while you were on holiday. Amazing views of the river from the garden and on a clear evening you can see so many stars! Was a great base for exploring Ayrshire with my dog.

    We felt these additions would be good to have : Shoe/boot stands at front/back doors plus coat hooks at the back door. More storage for clothes in the bedrooms. A gate on the decking would be good for dogs & families with children.

    We loved the tranquility, the cottage was just so lovely. It was the cleanest cottage we have ever stayed in, plenty of seating for relaxing in the evenings & the beds were like home from home. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The decking outside was such a great area & it was the perfect place to listen to the stream & birds. We frequently saw & heard buzzards.

    We loved the location in the middle of a Glen a few miles from the Sea front. Easy access to the main road and 15/20 mins from major towns. The accommodation was extremely comfortable and had everything you could possibly want for. The sofa’s in the living room were amazing and the beds were amazing. There was even off road parking and as it was on the Water of Tig, had its own swimming pool.
