“The cottage we rented had inaccurate parking information & instructions. No real interaction with Sykes as it’s all faceless & automatic with the emails coming out for payments etc. no character unlike the property we rented.”
“We had a lovely stay at Middle Cottage, Newport, Pembrokeshire. The cottage was like a home away from home - spotlessly clean, comfortable and fully equipped with everything you may need. Mel and Richard, the owners, welcomed us on arrival and explained heating controls etc. The visitors’ folder lists recommended walks, restaurants, gardens etc, so plenty of useful information. A relaxing week was spent using the house as a base and the good weather was a bonus.”
“On arrival at the Old Farm Cottage on 5th October on entering the cottage was met with loads of blue bottle flies and a terrible fousty smell which was overpowering tried to get rid of the flies as the were landing on the kitchen worktops or anything you put down Early evening tried to watch the telly 3 controllers tried the instructions even txt the owner no reply so after 2hours gave up My husband does not sleep very well so he slept in the single bed the bedding was damp and smelt fousty the bedside light was full of cobwebs with dead flies I really cant describe the smell it was awfull so in the morning we left the cottage by 9 oclock as couldnt stand it any longer we then had to find a bed and breakfast in barnstaple that took a small dog for the Monday and Tuesday night before we went on to another cottage on the Wednesday that we had booked for the rest of our holiday which was a lovely place. Very very dissapointed with the first cottage which wasnt cheap then had to pay extra for more accomadation due to the state of this cottage. Not happy at all”
“Stayed here 3 or 4 times we love it.
So peaceful and amazing for our family and our dogs.
Amazing pub in the village of Dufton 2 min drive or 20 minutes walk.”
“This is our first stay here, me & my partner stayed in Curlew Corner. We absolutely loved it! it was so peaceful and we proper chilled out. Waking up to seeing the alpacas & the goats were a highlight to us! The pod had everything we needed. Thank you for the cupcakes to arrive to, they were delicious!😍 we will definitely be back! Thanks again Ray & Diane”
“skykes website is brilliant. very simple to navigate and the pictures they take of each property are perfect, very imformative of what the accomodation has got what you can do during your stay”
“We have been using Sykes for a number of years and always find the Web site easy to navigate and the booking system straight forward. Top marks for Sykes.”
“I did not get the cottage i had booked as it had been double booked , I was then given a property 15 miles inland and not next to beach as i wanted . Having tried on many occasions to speak to someone at Sykes I have found this to be virtually impossible and having complained through thier online and email system I have had verry little to no responce . The holiday cost me £500 which I guess I have lost my advice to anybody would be to be verry carefull booking with Sykes as they are not aproachable should anything go wrong . I do not expect this review will go public , or I will get any responce , but please be sure i will take any oportunity I can to make people aware of my dealings with Sykes and how helpfull they have not been.”
“This was our second visit to Cliffe Cottage and we had a lovely time again. The cottage is very comfortable, has all the amenities you might need and is perfectly situated to enjoy Lewes and the wonderful South Downs.
The biscuits and prosecco welcome pack and the lovely fresh flowers were such a treat on our arrival. We hope to visit again soon.”
“We had a fantastic holiday here , the welcome food package was a lovely surprise. The castle and grounds are stunning and the small pool was a huge hit with my kids who basically had it to themselves most days, our dog had plenty of space to play ball outside on the sweeping lawn , the apartment is very spacious, would definitely recommend, also the pub 5 minutes walk away is worth a few meals too.”
