“Absolutely stunning cottage and really clean. In a superb location with the bonus of 2 parking spaces. The family loved our stay. There is everything you need and more! The prosecco and chocolates were a lovely touch to see in the New Year. We cannot wait for our next stay.”
“Really lovely cottage with loads of character. No shortage of pots, pans etc and all of good quality. Location is great for shopping, eating out, walking etc and nice to have off street parking. The only thing letting it down is the mattress, you can clearly see a ridge in the middle and we both felt we were sliding down to the bottom during the night. A new mattress and it would be perfect.”
“We had a lovely stay at a really nice property. I really liked that with Sykes if you have a question you can phone up and speak to a real, and very helpful, person.”
“Booking process is clear and straightforward. A very wide range of accommodation and facilities is offered. Communication is as and when necessary so not bombarded or overwhelming.
Very pleased”
“I have been using Sykes for a year now and have had 2 getaways that have been 5 star experiences. It's a great app and the listings have been exact to descriptions and communication has been top tier. I have recommended the app to friends and family also.”
“The organisation and logistics from Sykes were very good and were efficient.
The house itself was very nice , well maintained nicely furnished , very clean and in a good position.”
“No information about oven, and recycling/rubbish collection times. Lge.bedrom window catch not working. Fire risk assessement needed , only one exit. We noted that the oven had been mentioned in a Sept.25 review. 3 monthe before our arrival. Insufficient hand towels, ( only one provided )”
“This place is absolutely lovely, spotlessly clean and great value for money. We stayed for four nights over New Year with two other couples and really enjoyed spending NYE there. We chose not to eat out so we could relax and fully enjoy the cottage, especially as we’d already spent quite a bit on the accommodation.
The only downside was the size of the fridge/freezer. For a group of six staying several days, it was a little small, and we struggled to store all the food we’d brought, ending up leaving some items outside due to the cold. A larger fridge/freezer would definitely make it more convenient for larger groups. Additionally, one couple slept in single beds, which was fine, though we would have preferred all
Because of these issues, we gave 4 stars, but it would have been a clear 5-star stay if the fridge/freezer were larger and all beds were doubles. Overall, we loved the place and would definitely stay here again.”
“We booked for New Year and have immediately re-booked for summer!
Gorgeous bungalow, short walk from the town centre. Everything you need is close at hand. Absolutely loved our time there.”
“The house advertised was just as we wanted so we enquired about staying an extra night. We had to chase Sykes 3 times for an answer, via customer services, which was disappointing and it was a good job our enquiry wasn’t of an urgent matter”
“We stayed at the cottage over Christmas and it was fantastic. The owners had decorated it and the whilst the bedrooms are small the downstairs with the extension is very comfortable and everything you need for a great break is there. There are 3 pubs that are within easy walking distance and it also doesn't take long to walk into Ironbridge. Would also recommend a visit to the Jackfield Tile Museum , which is just 30 seconds walk above the cottage and you can park up there if you don't fancy driving down the lane to the cottage.”
“Cottage rented was lovely, also warm. However communication with Sykes Cottages was worse than useless, they did not respond to my request, just kept asking the same questions which I had already answered, instead.”
“The house is beautiful and we had a fabulous time. THe house had everything you needed, Rhian and James had thought of everything to make our stay so easy. We will definetly be looking to go again. Thank you”
“The lodge we stayed in was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed for a great stay. I feel the communication from Sykes cottages could be improved as previously I had emailed and rung White Cross Bay where we stayed and I had no response on the phone and although Sykes cottages responded to my emails it wasn’t with clear information about what I had actually asked. When we arrived 30th December there were major issues with the national grid in the Lake District which was out of their control and was told the park may have to close and they would make a decision shortly however as the electric was intermittent we took a chance and stayed and so glad we did as all the electricity stayed on and was fine. The lodge was stunning and extremely comfortable and would definitely stay again. The next day the passes for the facilities was free because of all the upheaval the day before and the lads enjoyed the pool, sauna, jaccuzi and steam room. Signage could be better as we spent a while looking h for our lodge. Would recommend White Cross Bay and the lodge 32 Grasmere.”
