“This was our third visit to Trefor , my daughter and granddaughter and I love this cottage. It is tastefully furnished and Ann pays great attention to detail, there is nothing lacking, it is very comfortable . Always lovely goodies on the table and Ann gives us such a warm welcome and is always available if we need her. The best cottage we have ever stayed in .”
“Have enjoyed several trips now booked with Sykes Cottages. All have been great, quality accommodations, and the booking processes and communications have been spot on.. thank you!”
“We had a fabulous stay at the smugglers shack. The booking was very straightforward and the details were useful for our stay. The location of the holiday park was excellent to explore the area locally and more further afield.”
“Unfortunately Sykes cottages being only the middle liaison for independent property rentals have limited to no resources and resolutions when any issues or problems with a rental cottages arise. Our recent holiday was ruined due to many issues. The Killiow lodge at Truro advertised as 5 star was in fact dirty, faulty with many items broken including a washing machine that leaked twice. The lodge needed a refurb. A embarrassing maximum refund of 9.6% was offered for the inconvenience. Sykes informed us to contact an external legal source regarding our concerns if we didn't take the 9.6% 'good will gesture'. Sykes terms and conditions take away all accountability from them, be warned. Sykes can't actually give you any service or guarantee you will actually get the standard of cottage you are led to believe when booking. The photos used are misleading, they're not recent but years old. We will never book with Sykes again.”
“Very nice cottage with complete amenities, lovely views, I can say one of the best cottages I lived.
Just need a little more attention to clean the birds dropping on stairs railing and some instructions about how to operate garage door and rubbish, however I will still give full stars and will love to come back.”
“We had a lovely stay at piglet cottage. The property was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. A lovely welcome basket too. My only concern was that the garden was not fully enclosed for dogs that can jump (low wall and fences) and whilst it’s a fairly quiet road the cars that did come through were fast so we kept the dogs indoors which was a shame but the rest of the property was very dog friendly and lots was provided for them.”
“Needs a lot of upgrades. Shower was faulty, some of the heaters did not work and sparked. The cooker oven needed a good clean and kept setting off the smoke alarm. There was a bad smell in the bathroom and most of the decor inside and out needs modernising. The front door was not secure and the lock barrel was loose.
The complex was in a good location next to the bridal way that led all the way into keswick.”
“The coach house was a lovely place to stay. It had every facility needed. It was surrounded by fields and on the outskirts of Newton Stewart for the shopping.”
“It is obvious that Sykes Cottages do not inspect the properties they rent out. In the last 3 years we have experienced cleanliness issues (where we have had to clean the property on arrival and damp issues with another.)
I cannot seriously recommend Sykes at this present time.
We have been using Sykes for many years the quality is going down and the price is going up.”
“We have used Sykes Cottages for a long time now some years multiple Cottages, and can say we have never been let down on availability quality and cleanliness, even with our dogs it's value for money and excellent, professional and great varity”
“We were an mixed group with 4 adults, 3 teenage boys and a small dog. We stayed in August and the weater was lovely. The annexe was perfect for us and we had plenty of room to have our own space. The large eating and kitchen area was great for us to gather in the evenings to eat and chat about our day and planning for the next. We had great weather and walked to the beach, down the hill and into the main area where the shops and plentiful eateries and bars Mawgan Porth has to offer. The pizza's are amazing but you advisable to book in busy holidays! We did lots of walking and had lazy days on the beach with prepared picnics and drinks. We walked to Lusty Glaze beach (taxi back) which was a great walk and the live music at Lusty was great. Lots of exploring and you don't need to drive as there are plenty of walks and things to do. Mary was lovely helped us sort a few things out, we would like come back but it's already booked up for next year! The annexe is well equipped with everything you need, the view is amazing and it's tucked up on the hill so open the massive window and let the fresh air in! Thank for a lovely stay - I'd just suggest a shower in the bathroom with just the bath and some instructions on arrival would be great. We had a wonderful time, thank you Mary x
We didn't deal with Sykes but with the owner herself, which was speedy and friendly.”
“Hour Cottage in Stow on the Wold was the perfct location for visiting the Cotswolds and within easy walking distance of all the facilities Stow itself provided. We had a great holiday and Sykes kept us fully updated to the minute we arrived!!”
