“Sykes cottages have over the years provided excelent service with outstanding properties at reasonable rates unfortunately our recent trip to Windermere was not up to the same standard. The property was nice a good size but was not as clean as we have come to expect. We raised the following issues during our stay : Dirty crockery, chipped cups and glasses, dirty oven tray, mould on shower cubicles/tiles, no parking permit, low water level in hot tub,.”
“Wonderful cottage with a lovely garden, well equipped and great location on the quiet end of the high street but easy walking distance to shops and pubs.
Had a great few days here and would definitely stay again!”
“Lovely cottage, view from kitchen couldn't be better. Sitting room cosy central heating good but sitting room fire didn't seem to work. Hope to visit again.”
“The cottage was a little tired , especially in the lounge area, with table heavily stained. No wifi for 2 days , hence no tv or internet access, tried ringing Sykes and owners number for 2 days but no reply to either”
“A lovely cottage, very well equipped and comfortable. We stayed at the property for 3 weeks and it met all our needs. The cottage was very well presented and the beds were very comfortable. The owners were really nice and very responsive if we needed anything. A lovely stay and we would defenitely return.”
“The one big flaw in your whole service is this Friday to Friday booking malarkey. Hate it. Worst day of the week for travelling. Surely you want your customers to arrive in the best of moods - both to the holiday property and home afterwards? Until you change this, we will continue to prefer other operators who do Saturday to Saturday lettings.”
“We had a lovely time at Piggery Place. I have mobility issues and it was a great place for me. Rise and Recline chair, wet room with shower seat on wheels which meant if I had a wash I could wheel the chair to the sink. The only thing I missed was a view of the countryside but we did have the cows. We chatted to them every morning.”
“I really enjoy browsing the Sykes site looking for inspiration for future trips. The information given is accurate and the cottages we've stayed in have lived up to expectations, the most recent being above and beyond.”
“A beautiful lodge which was clean and well maintained, the hot tub on the decking was brilliant they kept checking it during our stay and it was private and not overlooked by others. Facilities available were the gym, it was small but had what it needed, a sauna, steam room and another hot tub. The location was good, easy access to sites we wanted to visit, nice and quiet. Would visit again”
“The website is completely user friendly and the booking system is clear and easy to use.
We have booked and stayed in a number of Sykes Cottages over the years and have never had any issues or cause of complaints.”
“Disappointed with the 'help' I received when there was an issue with the cottage I booked - basically, email communication, no actual conversation and made to feel "tough, that's what you booked and no one else has had a problem". (When actually the reviews often highlighted the same problem with the cottage). Not what I expected from this company. Will think twice about using again.”
