We've used Sykes for a number of years now and have always had a positive experience. If I was to have one gripe it would be the ability to search and the results you get. It's not the most straightforward initially and when my wife does a search with the same criteria she seems to get different properties ! That being said we're used to its foibles now and usually find somewhere we like.

First time booking with Sykes cottages found the website easy to navigate and then booking the property of my choice was easy.

I have booked many holiday cottages with Sykes and everyone has just been perfect. On the occasion I have had to phone I have always been impressed by the way any question I have is always attended to immediately.

Very happy with Sykes Cottages. Description of property accurate and booking process easy. Only one issue - the details for key collection were incorrect on first email you sent after payment had been made. This was corrected on a later email though.

Booked a short break through 'Sykes Cottages' and again the process was simple and efficient. We have used the sight to various locations in the past and have not been disappointed

The property we booked, Chyrosen had a number of safety issues. Does not look that Sykes checks up on their properties very often!

Fir Trees was an excellent cottage, a real home from home. Everything you could possibly need was in the cottage which made our holiday very enjoyable. Something for you to be aware of - the shower in the family bathroom couldn't be used as it was very hot. It did not cause an issue for us as we shared the en suite shower. I also noticed an iron mark on the carpet in the living room . Other than that perfect cottage to stay in.

The Croft is a well equipped place to stay. Its light and bright. Dog friendly too. Lovely enclosed garden with a bench, table and chairs and sunloungers. Walks to two pubs within 15mins. Good food in both.

Cornish Views is finished to a very high standard and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Pam and Colin were very welcoming upon our arrival. We felt so relaxed there and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It’s set in a great location for exploring Cornwall with wonderful views from the upstairs bedroom.

Lack of response time when ceiling was coming in in the bathroom was a bit disturbing. Great properties, though.

Comfortable, clean, welcoming and fully functional. Owners are on site if needed and are very helpful. Our German Shepards loved their treats including roast dinner leftovers. The grounds are beautiful and lots of room for two boisterous dogs. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Amanda Michael Ebony Roxy and Rosie.
