“We had a fantastic stay at this lovely dog-friendly cottage. It truly had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing break — well-equipped kitchen, cosy living space, and a really comfortable bed. It felt like a real home from home.
The location was perfect, peaceful yet just a short distance from Grasmere, making it ideal for exploring the village and the surrounding walks. Our dog was very welcome too, which made the stay even more enjoyable. We wouldn’t hesitate to return!”
“We have booked regularly with Sykes so that we stay with our small dog in lively accommodations that have generally been in Derbyshire and just returned from our stay last week which was lovely and clean and quality fixtures and fittings.
We have booked again for the Cotswolds in the summer and have 3 others booked throughout the year. The only issue with Sykes is the £40 promotion that we have not been able to use only the £20/25 bloom discount plus we had a real
Issue with one a stay in Longnor and Sykes don’t do anything with the evidence.”
“The cottage and it's location were ideal for us and when we find next year's half term date we will book again. Just one issue - we booked the ferry by phone as I'm a wheelchair user and they stated that - contrary to the advertised details and joining details - the cottage has no discount arrangement with Wightlink so we did not benefit from that as expected. Maybe investigate that?”
“Lovely cosy cottage. Everything you really need. Very well thought out with plenty of coat hooks/sockets etc. Very comfy bed, hot shower, warm and comfortable. What more do you need ?”
“Really lovely place to stay, hot tub was brilloant and hot upon arrival and everything you would need in the kitchen and bedrooms.
Not a critisism at all but the tv is up to high to sit comfortably and the bed upstairs is very short. Im 5ft 2" and my feel hung off the end. If the ned was in a different position a longer wide bed would fit”
“Generally had a good experience with Sykes and the properties we stay in. BUT we made some observations to an owner while on holiday and have been blocked from leaving a review... So, how true are the overall ratings?”
“We have used Sykes multiple times and have always had good service. The cottages are realistically advertised with clear photos and facilities. I had cause to use customer services recently and found the agent to be efficient, professional and resolved my query perfectly.”
“The house was perfectly located for a 4-5 minute easy stroll into the town and similarly in the other direction to a small shopping outlet.. Didn't appreciate however that it was on a main road which could have meant a lot of traffic noise if it was a summer break, luckily for us it was a cold wet February so we had windows closed. Inside the property was dirty on the floors and in the corners behind furniture etc. Would have been happy to run the hoover around but there was absolutely zero cleaning equipment bar a dustpan and brush. Beds were comfortable and property was spacious with a lively garden for the summer months.”
