Wanted to book more than 12 months away, the whole process was handled brilliantly. Returning call promises were kept to the minute, and our holiday was confirmed much to our delight. Many thanks. CM.

Ideally placed for Chester, in the beautiful village of Christleton, able to walk along the canal. House was beautiful and ideal for our family especially the gazebo in hot weather.

The cottage was amazing but the service from Sykes was poor when it came to getting an issue resolved.

We made a last minute booking for a short break. It was a very simple and straightforward process and we were provided with all the information we needed as soon as we booked !

Lovely cottage right on the harbour front. Very useful parking permit, that we used right outside the cottage. Comfortable mattresses. We found the main oven didn't work. Overall a fantastic place to stay if the harbour area is preferred.

Communication was clear and timely and the mid-stay cleaning options were ace. Everything went smoothly and the cottage itself was just what we had hoped for (if not more so!). A thoroughly enjoyable break and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Sykes again.

Excellent cottage. Great location, immaculately clean and comfortable. The extra touches were very thoughtful. Highly recommend this place.

The property was clean and tidy, welcome pack and plenty of crockery, mugs, pans etc. Settees looked new and were very comfy as were the beds. Only complaint was deep step from french windows to patio.

As regular customers of Sykes I am very sorry to give this review. The booking calendar clearly shows our dates available and confirmation of our booking.We were then informed that the cottage residents will now book only Friday to Friday. This is not a viable start date for us. Cancelling this booking is proving impossible Two days later the booking still shows the non viable dates and the threat of paying a deposit which we will not be paying.It is a great shame that this spoils a great reputation

Took me ages to choose the property for my next trip to Yorkshire - I hope I found it with the one I chose. There was a lot of choice! The booking process was straightforward & easy to navigate. Thank you.

I've used you several times now and never be disappointed - properties have been ideal for our needs and set in beautiful countryside with easy access to local amenities. Every host so far has been accommodating and friendly and on hand if needed but not intrusive.

First time booking with Sykes Cottages, recommended by a friend who has stayed in their cottages a few times. I liked the search pages as they gave all information you need to decide, booking process was straightforward.

My family and I stayed at the log cabin for 5 nights me my wife and 2 boys. Was a bit hard to find but found it in the end. The cabin is a lovely little place just big enough for us all really cosy well presented and everything thing you need inside. Set in the back garden of the owners house but it didn't feel like it as we had the run of the garden and the boys enjoyed it. The owners are lovely people and very helpful. The owners have 2 vintage cars and he let my boys sit in them and even let them start one of them which my boys loved. The village is just over a mile away lovely little place with a garage that sells all you need for your stay and the cheapest fuel ever seen. Great little chippy and 2 pubs with great food. To visit places the lodge is placed about a hour away from places to see and do the owners gave us hints where is best to visit. We all had a great time at the log cabin.
