“Sykes cottages dealt with my booking efficiently. The accommodation was as stated on the website. Views from the property were superb and the cottage was immaculately prepared and suited our needs perfectly.”
“The process for renting this unit was borderline deceptive as I was unaware that I was entering into another contract(with additional fee) with a property management company. If I could cancel without suffering costs I would. I only hope that my actual experience with rental will exceed my expectations.”
“We thought the cottage was very nice and well placed for touring the area. The only issue we had was the dog barking at night next door as our dog became nervous at going out at night.”
“No welcome pack guiding us though the property. No WIFI in 2026. TV inadequate. A smart TV would give options like I Player. Sofa and chair in living room uncomfortable. Stair grippers come through stair carpet. Cleanliness (Lack of attention to detail) Under and around. Gate at fron of property will not secure. Bathroon sink plug filthy. Human hair in bath.”
“It was a bad idea to ask me to leave a review following the dreadful experience I have had with booking initially with Homes to Go ,not realising it was going to be with Sykes.
I have suffered undue anxiety and distress over the initial booking ,trying to find someone to help me and then with shock at the added costs of £250 for a hot tub supplement which is being charged for two nights.I have emailed, sent texts snd phoned to resolve my issue with still no conclusion .I simply wish I had not made thd booking at all and I haven't even had the break as yet”
“Great appartment with fantastic views. Very well equipped and clean. Would thoroughly recommend as the area has lots of brilliant walks from the door and there is plenty to do and see. We would definitely return.
Only issue to note would be that the second bedroom is very small.”
“This really is a wind down holiday and one we much needed. Within a huge nature reserve and a large garden, it was one the whole family could wind down and relax....except for our dog who took full advantage of the enclosed garden. Property had everything you needed. Loved the evening display of moths. Some were truly beautiful. The owners despite being right next door were wonderfully helpful and kind but not intrusive. The table tennis table in the garden was a great bonus.”
“Always my first choice go to cottage provider
The app is extremely easy to navigate around and the choice available is also very important
Customer support when needed are always helpful in their support”
“Have booked with Sykes before with no problem however I am so disappointed with the company this time! I booked my holiday for four people. Afew days later Sykes cancelled the holiday saying something about a pricing problem. I later had a phone call from the owner of the holiday home saying that because Sykes had put the property up at the wrong price they had cancelled the holiday & blocked his bookings. He said he would contact Sykes & ask them to honour my holiday at the original price. Sykes eventually got back to me offering me no booking fee and £50 off the holiday but they would only hold it for 24 hours ( all the other dates for the month were still blocked out) so we were pushed into a corner to except as we wanted the holiday. Now afew days later they are doing a 10% off for early booking offer and that would have given us a better deal anyway!! So much for their 'good will gesture!! Push us to take the offer before we could get the 10%!! And they should have excepted the agreement from the original payment of the original holiday price anyway. Such bad customer service”
“We have used Sykes cottages many times and always find them honest and trustworthy in all aspects of the booking process, they have great cottages in excellent locations.”
