Holiday to Ireland due May 20 moved to May 21. Had email from Skyes cottages on Fri 30th April advising to cancel or move holiday again. I then cancelled on the Friday and money was refunded in full into my bank acc on Tues 4th May. And that was over a bank holiday weekend. Very good service.

I chose to cancel a booking when it became obvious that it would not be possible to go due to C19. I had paid a reduced initial booking fee and the total fee was taken from my credit card at the due time. I expected this and wrote it off as it was my decision to cancel giving my reasons. Quite a while later and to my great surprise I received a letter telling me I was receiving a refund and when it came it was for the total amount. I am very sorry to see other people have not received the same service. We have booked for several years with Sykes with no problems.

Had a lovely Christmas holiday I stayed in a cottage called cawsand in Cornwall ( and before anybody asks I didn’t travel from a different tier). The cottage was modern clean and had everything I needed. The owners Lisa and Felix were very kind and left me to get on with my holiday however if I needed anything I just had to ask. I would recommend any of the three cottages and hope to stay again in the future.

Booked a holiday to Wales which was unfortunately cancelled due the Wales Lockdown. I was issued a refund within a few days of the announcement, and have rebooked to go to North Wales. This has now also been cancelled due to the England Lockdown so hopefully their refund process is just as smooth this time.

Have just returned from Bluebell cottage Cark. It was one of the nicest holiday cottages we have stayed in. So clean and comfortable, a really home from home. Lots of thought gone into it, couldn't believe the number of coat hangers and drawer space. It was great to have a mirror near an electric plug a rarity in holiday homes. Situated in a lovely quiet cul de sac in a village with lots of walks close by. The Engine pub, 2 mins walk with a supermarket opposite. The pub serving good meals and very friendly also for dogs 🐕. We had problem working the heating but Neil the owner came out to us promptly and got it sorted without delay. Can't wait to return to this lovely cottage and area.

Great description of our holiday cottage - clean and well appointed - total smooth free booking and also contact with the owner. The whole process was seamless - one issue upon arrival was dealt with by the owner within a couple of hours. A great staycation.

Just returned from a 7 night stay at cedarwood cabin in Sussex. Had a lovely week and the cabin was as as good as it looked in the photos as advertised. A very peaceful and cosy place to stay, and peter and Karen were great hosts who couldn’t do enough for you. Would definitely recommend this for a relaxing break in the Sussex countryside.

I really can’t say I have had any problem with Sykes . My holiday got cancelled due to Covid but I was able to transfer dates at no extra cost without any problems. They were so good . This is my experience. The cottage I normally get is straight with reviews ( seaspray Eyemouth) it’s a great holiday home with everything you need and great back garden and close to beach and all shops/ restaurants and pubs . I have been in this cottage now for five years , so it really has great appeal and booking through Sykes has always been straight forward. Thumbs up from myself and family. Great owner , great company.

We recently stayed at Heather Corner in Haworth, the Yorkshire Dale's. What a wonderful place to stay. The cottage is so well equipped, everything had been thought of. The owners are lovely and welcomed us personally. If there had been any problem we were welcome to ring them but of course everything was perfect. There was plenty of hand sanitizer and the cottage was immaculately clean and COVID safe. The beds were extremely comfortable as were the pillows. There's a table and chairs on the patio and the water feature is a lovely touch. It's a few minutes walk to the main street and a lovely park. The car parking at the cottage is a bonus. I would highly recommend Haworth and the wonderful cottage and we are already looking forward to our next visit.

We have used Sykes Cottages for over 10 years. We have found al the cottages clean and well maintained. The staff members who we have contacted have all been very helpful. Because we live in Canada and the restrictions of Covid19 we requested a change of dates which they have agreed with no problems. Many of the complaints maybe valid, but during this time frustrations tend to bring the worst out of people. Hope you all are safe and healthy.

Reading all the reviews I began to think I was booking with a different company. Web site easy to use and got my refund within 14 days - web page said I had a credit and returned to me without hassle. Rebooked holiday with them again.

Booked holiday last August (2019) as was attending wedding. Wedding no longer going ahead so contacted Sykes. I must admit I was in dread of the outcome bearing in mind other views. Well, I couldn't have been more surprised. Wonderful customer service, all by phone, full refund provided - no credit to account to use in future and all sorted before final payment due date. Perfect solution. Can't understand why others are having such problems. Bear in mind they are dealing with a lot of queries right now, email and on phone whilst isolating themselves so it's no wonder response times are going to be longer. Can't have asked for a better outcome. 10/10

Covid -19 aside, I can happily say that I am impressed by the customer service I've received perviously - and look forward to staying at another this winter in lovely Llanberis. Given the circumstances, the current guidance is troubling. However I feel that Sykes - still offer nothing short of commendable holiday lets. On that basis, can only offer a 5* review. I can only imagine what misery anybody working in a call centre can be experiencing right now, and can only commend the staff for managing the best they can given the very often blunt lack of humanity I'm seeing from some other customers.
