Never been disappointed yet and this beautiful house was as good as the rest. Booked quite a few through Sykes Cottages and the communication is always great and the accuracy of the listing is spot on! About to book another and would highly recommend.

I have had a very good holiday with Sykes Cottages for the second time. Last year in September I had my first holiday with Sykes Cottages. I was very impressed with the accommodation I stayed in with my partner. This last holiday from 1st - 8th September was very good. We stayed in a Lodge in Potter Heigham Norfolk which was excellent. We will be booking a holiday with Sykes Cottages again very soon.

Sadly not 5Star standard we were expecting. Toilet roll holder hanging off wall and toilet seat loose. Bedding not matched. So many cushions on pew at dining table we were unable to sit on it. Most of them were marked as were the cushions on the settee. Kerb at the end of the driveway rather high touching the underside of car each time we went out. Potentially a lovely property! Very peaceful with lots of nearby places of interest to visit.

Sykes don’t appear to be interested in customers individual needs. We had no hot water and they weren’t sure if they were going to send someone the same day. The gardener turned up, let himself into the back garden and started mowing. We were not made aware that this was going to happen. I asked for a slightly later checkout time on medical grounds on their WhatsApp chat an was told no. Was the cleaner there when we left, no. John Bray used to be much more approachable and understanding.

Beautiful well equipped cottage in the quaint village of Tilton on the hill. Check in and check out was seemless and it was beautifully decorated throughout. Lovely place to stay.

We love The Bright House in St Eval. It is our third stay and we will be back. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and quiet. About 15/20 minutes drive from Watergate bay and Harlyn Bay.

Wonderful. We stayed a week in September and received a warm welcome from the owners who lived nearby. There was a home baked Victoria sponge cake awaiting for us on arrival - this was a real treat and much appreciated and enjoyed. The owners were very friendly, attentive and unobtrusive. The cottage was spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable, decorated to a high standard, very well equipped and contained local information on things to do and places to visit. The location was perfect for visiting many local attractions, NT properties & gardens and pretty villages, with their distinctive yellow-stoned Cotswold cottages. The setting provided privacy and was peaceful with the sounds of wildlife - wonderful. Our stay was all the more memorable for the seasonally good weather and relaxing on the patio area in the evenings ... enjoying the wonderful views over the fields and countryside. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Wash House and would recommend this holiday cottage.

Linden View is an excellent property with fantastic views, the pictures really don't do it justice. The house has everything you need and more, the welcome pack was a lovely touch and greatly appreciated. Jennie was an amazing host and nothing was too much trouble and her local knowledge gives you some lovely places to visit. The outdoor seating was perfect for breakfast and watching the sunset. Jennie has the loveliest friendly dog who visited daily. Thank you Jennie and Nutmeg for an amazing holiday we will definitely be returning. Ian, Sharon, Maddie and Youssef

First time dealing with you and was very impressed. I enquired as to whether we could get into our property any earlier and you checked with the housekeeper and got back to me.

Stuart and Andrea are great hosts. Their speed at getting things done is amazing. The accommodation was good, the facilities, especially for families are fantastic. A really peaceful setting with animals to see. We would not hesitate to recommend them and should we return to that area would happily stay there again as our 1st choice. Basically could not have been happier.
