“Already left a review but would like to add a comment to thank the owner for the contents of the "goodie box". The house was great and enjoyed our stay.”
“By and large, Sykes cottages are top-notch. But it does pay to read some of the actual reviews instead of relying solely on the Sykes star rating.
No less importantly, the booking process just works and the cottage I've seen and paid for has always been the cottage I've arrived at and stayed in (thereby beating some other sites that could be mentioned!).”
“House in fabulous position close to beach. On arrival electric off in kitchen , owner arranged for electrician to come Monday 9.00 we waisted a morning of our holiday waiting but he didn't appear. Damp smell in dining room, wall had mould on it. Food left in freezer from previous occupant. Unwashed metal tray in oven with fat in it some kitchen utensils not washed .Houses on the street being renovated it was like living on a building site. Scaffolding up at house next door had to keep dining Room curtains closed all week ,builders had radio on from about 8.30 in a morning . We counted 10 builders vans on the narrow rd most days. Porta loo in front garden next door near so cdnt sit out (plus builders) . Had to wait on drive while lorry emptied the portalloo anther day had to wait 15 minutes for skip lorry to drop off and pick up skips. Numerous times had to ask for vans to be moved so we could get off the road. Builders always curtious . House could do wth a good clean and some new furniture upstairs especially.”
“Easy to use website.
They keep you informed of any relevant information about your booking.
Cottages we’ve stayed in have just been like home from home.
Would thoroughly recommend.”
“Cottage was ideal for our staycation, did find it initially difficult to enter the garden to the property from the drive as wooden gate bolted top and bottom and not clear we had to pick up and detach the iron fence to get through. The electric shower water flow weak but everything else was spot on and comfortable.”
“Sykes cottages have been a helpful company, I have been happy with all cottages I have booked, if there were any problems, it was delt with quickly.I recommend to book through Sykes cottages”
“I have been to Sykes Cottages for a few years now and always find the properties like they say they are well equipped and clean and have booked two already for next year as they go fast.”
“Lovely cottage, good location, everything you could need for a short break or longer. Welcome pack appreciated even some treats for our pooch. Good communication from the owners and Amble a lovely town to visit and well placed for visiting lots of beautiful empty beaches in the area.”
“We visited stonerush lakes 8 yrs ago and loved it ,so we decided to go back this year.
The cabin had everything you needed ( except a frying pan ) but it was obvious from the start how tired the cabin was.
The decking was in need of tlc ,even the outside looked in need of a coat of paint .
It was clean and tidy but not outstanding, unfortunately 😕
The mattress needs to be replaced 😴
On a plus the shower was really 👍
I personally wouldn't return unless improvements have been made .”
