Really pretty cottage and location.. Have stayed several times previous and plan to stay again! Really lovely, friendly owners. Our favourite place to come and stay!

Lovely little cottage situated in a beautiful quaint village.. Owners very pleasant. Log burner was fantastic. The cottage could have been a little cleaner - lots of dust and cobwebs. Take your own pillows if you wish to sleep well.

Enjoyed our two nights stay at Sweet Pea Cottage, very relaxing , loved the walled garden for the dogs to run around.. Had the log burner on Fantastic ! Would recommend a visit to this cottage .

A charming little cottage adjacent to the owner's property with a fully enclosed garden ideal for dog owners.. The cottage itself is bijou but perfect for a couple and a dog. We visited in February when the weather was pretty cold and wet but the cottage was cosy and the woodburner was a valuable addition. A huge plus was the unlimited supply of logs which was much appreciated. Only criticism we had was the wifi which was a bit intermittent at times. Lots of good walking routes within a 40 minute drive so a great base. Would definitely recommend for a long weekend away.

The Cottage was more than we expected, kitchen facilities all you could want.. Bedroom a double with shower room off was superb. The lounge was very spacious and comfortable for ourselves and our dogs with access out to the brilliant walled garden. Although we only used the dining table once it was a welcome addition. The best aspect for us were the two sofas with the wood burner with ample supply of additional wood . It was always cosy after a day exploring the beautiful countryside. The hosts were welcoming but certainly not obtrusive, reassuring to know they lived on site.

Gorgeous, pet friendly warm cottage. Lovely enclosed garden. Real home from home. Loved being able to close the lounge and bedroom doors to keep the dogs in the kitchen/ hallway- so helpful! Great location for New Lanark, Clyde Falls. Tinto great off lead walk for the dogs, but accessed via cafe entrance as more accessible.

My wife and I stayed for a short mid week break with our two Bernese Mountain dogs. The cottage was immaculately clean throughout and the heating had been left on prior to our arrival, creating a warm and cosy welcome. The walled garden was fantastic for the dogs and the place was a great base for some wider exploring around South Lanarkshire. I would highly reccomend Sweet Pea cottage for a very relaxing break!

Just back today having spent a week at Sweetpea Cottage. I decided to have a week away with the dog, to walk, read and find some peace and quiet. From the moment I stepped inside Sweet Pea Cottage, I knew it was going to be perfect. There is parking just outside the cottage and the walled garden at the back,which is accessed from french doors, is much bigger than the pictures portray. The wood burner was easy to use and logs were supplied by the owners, I was advised to help myself. There is also a washer dryer which is great when you have been on muddy walks!! There were plenty of towels, tea towels and essentials like loo rolls to get you started. There is a dishwasher, fridge freezer, microwave, oven and hob. The bedroom isn’t big but it has a small wardrobe and side tables, and is very comfortable with quality pillows and duvet with a view over the garden. There is Sky Tv in the cottage. Wiston is a small hamlet made up of houses, community centre and primary school, there aren’t any pavements however it is generally very quiet and I found no problems walking the dog on these roads to reach our preferred destination for walks. Both Lanark and Biggar are within easy driving distance. I thoroughly enjoyed my week at Sweet Pea Cottage and found the owners to be very helpful and accommodating as well as being lovely people. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sweet Pea Cottage.

We stayed at the Sweatpea Cottage for Christmas. It was the perfect place to get away from holiday stress and nonsense this time of year brings. It is such a comfortable place to relax and get away from everything. We were especially pleased that they allowed pets. We can imagine holidays without the stress but not our pet. It was nice having her with us. The cottage has everything you need to relax and feel at home - comfortable bed, fire place, stove, refrigerator, dishes, silverware, towels, television/cable, DVD player/DVD's, nice views of the garden, and the internet. Edinburgh is not too far. The town of Biggar is very close by and has some great places to eat. We loved our stay here. Will definitely try to come back if we are in the area. Highly recommended.

Not sure what could have happened to first reviewer in May, can't have had cleaner turn up or something, but for us.... Nice cosy bolt-hole for couple of days. Big lawn for our dog to romp around. View to Tinto hill. Good kitchen - new fridge, cooker ok? - comfy living room. Shower could be improved. But it has what I want from a rural break (for a single or couple) - fresh air/water, peace and quiet, views and dark sky. It's a 'getaway' although wi-fi worked. Nearest civilisation, Biggar, nice town, liked Crown Inn

A lovely cottage with access to a huge walled garden. The cottage was clean and comfortable and the owners next door were very friendly.

Arrived at cottage was smelly and dirty, neglected, wet towels hanging in shower room. Internal pictures of cottage on website bear little resemblance to what you are greeted with. Shower tray overflowed due to hair (human/animal)in plughole. Arrived on the Friday after travelling 5 hours to get there and spent at least 2 hours trying to clean the place. The fridge smells even though we cleaned it with anti-back, it made no difference, the cooker was so dirty we didn't even attempt to clean it.(not that we should be cleaning anything on holiday). Arrived on the Friday, relocated by Sykes to another cottage, which is absolutely beautiful. Find another cottage if you want to enjoy your holiday.

Owners of the cottage were very helpful and the location of the cottage had plenty of amenities within the area and was a good base to explore the countryside.
