“It's always a pleasure booking direct with sykes staff and I find it easier to ask specific question with ready made answers and altogether an enjoyable experience in dealing on a 1-1 basis”
“Very comfortable ground floor apartment. Spacious. Peaceful. Well presented new kitchen which was easy to work in. Fitted with a dishwasher and washing machine too. Great to have a separate dining room. Only disappointment was no access to the garden, but the consolation was a lovely park on the other side of the road for our little dog, which he enjoyed so much being able to run free off the lead.
Llandudno seems to be a very dog friendly town.”
“This was the first time we have booked through sykes cottages & have found the whole process very straightforward. There are a large number of houses/ cottages to suit different budgets & party size.
We have now booked a second holiday with them for later on this year.”
“Nice and clean and very nice decor. We enjoyed our visit and had no problems. Very central to the village the only problem was parking but we were aware of that before booking. Would stay again so that says enough!!”
“We decided to book the day before we travelled. Sent the details to Sykes and got a call back almost immediately. We only wanted 6 days. Sykes were very helpful and got in touch with the owner immediately who agreed and here we are in glorious Combe Martin in Devon enjoying our first day. Thanks again Sykes it's our second time booking with you and I'm sure we'll do so again. The property is lovely and only 20 steps from the beach and a lovely cream tea provided on arrival”
“We very much enjoyed our stay at Castle Fraser. It was clean and comforable. The gift basket of goodies was a wonderful addition.

“We spent a wonderful week at a beautiful cottage on the Isle of Wight. Booking with Sykes was so easy from start to finish and we were sent all the relevant information needed in a timely manner. Will definitely be using them again.”
“Sykes' admin was first-rate (as always) and John, Marian and Jules at Cartwheel Cottage were excellent hosts; especially understanding when we had car trouble on the day we were supposed to leave (we did get away, rather late).”
“We had a very comfortable experience at Pentire Reach in Crantock. It was ideally located with some good views to the south.
We do however have some recommendations:
1. On hot days we could have benefitted from fans in the bedrooms as some of us could not sleep, especially in the upstairs rooms.
2. There were no hooks in the bedrooms or bathroom to hang towels. We suggest installing hooks on all doors in bedrooms and bathrooms
3. There is no mirror above the wash basin in the upstairs bathroom, only on the door, which was not practical.
4. The door leading from the kitchen to the patio appears to be difficult to lock and needs attention
5. The wheelie bin was 3/4 full when we arrived. It would have been nice to arrive with an empty bin as I had to send a message to the person managing the property to have this emptied on the 4th day of our stay. There were 8 of plus two babies and obviously this fills up very quickly”
“Positive
Well equipped kitchen Lovely upstairs living room Light, airy, well furnished Terrace and view Location Welcome packs Games, books appreciated Appliances worked well
Negative Bedside light in twin bedroom needed Umbrella for outdoor table More comfy chairs in kitchen dining room More loungers that work Only one patio door opened”
“Alma Terrace, Llanfairfechan has loads of charm. It has a typical cottage feel but with some modernisation. For example the WiFi worked well, TV in each room, a fairly modern kitchen. It was really clean and the little river running outside is lovely.
There was a heavy damp, musty smell and a constant dehumidifier running in the utility(apparently this had been caused by a flood from the previous holiday let and not reported to the next person-us), the milk left was way out of date and the large bins in the bathroom for sanitary waste were not so nice along with all the damp smelly mats left out on the line outside - all little things that could be fixed. The kitchen taps and hot water did not work but a call to the owner did mean that someone came out the following day and fixed it.
Its location to the village and beach were good, the nearby pubs didn’t disturb us. Being able to take our little dog was nice.
All in all a nice place to stay but needs a few little things adjusting.”
“We had a party of 6 stay for 2 nights and had a lovely stay. Hot tub was great and there was fantastic views.
Only downside was the number of flys, we purchased 2 cans of fly spray but didn’t seem to help. Every evening returning to the property there was around 20 flys buzzing around.”
