“This is my husbands and mine second visit to Petlyns Patch and we enjoyed it just as much as the first visit time or maybe slightly better due to the great weather. Lovely welcome pack on arrival which is much appreciated and we loved relaxing in the hot tub with a glass of Prosecco. Good comfortable bungalow and greatly placed on the island for visiting places of interest. Will be hoping to return again in the not too distant future. Thank you.”
“We thoroughly enjoyed our time located at the Abraham. The cottage adequately provided everything we needed for our week long stay. Bed was comfortable. We really enjoyed learning some of the local history from Sean (the host) who we’d had to contact when we encountered a problem with the hot water. The issue was addressed was immediately. All fixed with a cheerful smile. The area was lovely, lots of beautiful scenery and history. The only slight negative for us was the stair case ( we’re in our seventies). We would though still definitely recommend and may well revisit ourselves in the future.”
“Cosy, bathroom could do with a heater but the shower excellent.
Brian very informative on the local area, the pub is just up the road and serves great beers and food.”
“we have used Sykes cottages over many years.
9 times out of 10 they have been very good.
our recent one in Morcomblake was lovely. a fabulous base to explore parts of Dorset.
I only gave 4 stars as, I'm not enjoying the ,4pm check in now. and 10am depart. it's like you've paid for a day and don't get it. the check out I can accept but not 4,pm check in. so may rethink our holidays in future.”
“The cottage was lovely, everything very new and clean. Nice to have some milk in the fridge and some biscuits, etc. Thank you to the Owners. In a good position for exploring the Cotswolds.”
“Perfect spot for a holiday. Superb house, plenty of room and everyone has their own bathroom. We found the settees too large for us. Half of us are 5foot and under and we couldn't get comfy on them, but we had a laugh at all the feet dangling. We will be back for more fun. Thank you for the wine and crisps. We left beer in the fridge for the next holiday makers in there. Enjoy.”
“Very comfortable and well equipped house. Easy access to Darlington town and surrounding areas. Despite near a main road the traffic wasn't at all noisy.”
“The Arched House was a joy for a week. Lovely owners. Beautifully furnished, comfy beds. Towels could do with replacing, they were ok for the three children.
Sykes itself is the most appalling company that I have booked a holiday with. Several times before the holiday I tried to communicate via phone2x 40/45 mins. Emails etc.
Eventually Zi located the owner to request 2 extra sets of bedding as family going on the Monday and then friends coming. He willingly agreed. I then got an email from Sykes stating that they had contacted the owner and bedding could only be changed after 10 days. I queried this saying they needed to speak to the owner as he had agreed. An email came back stating the same as above and also very rudely suggested that we bring our own bedding. So we did and then the owner came around with bedding. Sykes had obviously not spoken to the owner. We had by then used our own bedding. If I was the owner I would move from them and book direct or with Lyme Bay Holidays who were more helpful.”
“I have been using Sykes now for a number of years , all most exclusively for UK holidays. The standard is very very high. I am very pleased with the service I receive and will continue with them in the future.”
“Trefor Ganol is a beautiful house, very well equipped, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. We wanted to be out in the countryside and this house did not disappoint. We were extremely impressed with the provision of dog beds and bowls - our dog was very comfy on the dog beds. Three observations: be aware that the directions on the link from Sykes took us to the wrong property - they took us to a group of barn conversions further up the road on the opposite side of the road. Secondly, the upstairs shower was not hot at all. Finally, not the end of the world, but it was a bit of a nuisance having the dishwasher in the utility room rather than in the kitchen as you had carry dirty dishes, cutlery, pots and pans, through to the other room to load and unload the dishwasher - but it didn’t ruin our stay! Will definitely stay here again.”
“Had another brilliant holiday break with Sykes at St Margarets, Carbis Bay. We did have a couple of minor issues with the accommodation which was sorted out very quickly. Not going to stop us booking again! No8 is our favourite location in that neck of the woods.”
“After the initial disappointment due to Sykes having the wrong description of the property, which they dealt with very quickly, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Sygun, amazing views from back garden!”
