We've stayed in Faunas Corner twice now, it's a well equipped cottage and very peaceful. We'll no doubt be booking Faunas Corner again. We found Faunas Corner through a friend who goes every year. Thank you Sykes

Booked for 5 nights Within 2 hours of arriving owner phoned to say the fridge wasn’t working and wouldn’t be working for the duration of our stay Second day-tried to use oven but it consistently tripped out RCD switch disabling all electrics-owner admitted there had been a problem the previous week as he had an electrician out to replace a fuse-obviously not done correctly and not checked Overall no fridge and no oven cooking facilities for 5 days. Both problems were outstanding problems , however owner and company still happy to rent out an unsafe house Property is Alnbank ground floor Argyle Street Alnmouth Northumberland NE66 2SB

Fantastic holiday at Tor View Okehampton. Delightful cottage, extremely comfortable and plenty of room. The owners Kelvin and Sue were extremely friendly and so helpful, they definitely go over and above with all the extras, everything you could possibly need. Scrumptious welcome pack. Lovely areas to explore, great walks.

All these negative reviews don’t fit with our experience of eighteen different Sykes Cottages in four years. (eg, how can Sykes be criticised for a poor phone signal?). We had a prompt covid refund from Feb 21. I find the App so quick and easy to personalise. We really study a cottages details and reviews, and have generally found them accurate. Also we find it and the surroundings on Google Earth and Street View where possible. Haven’t had any problems with cleanliness … though we always tap ‘no pets’ in the options.

We spent a week commencing October the 17th in Minehead at 19Quay street; Property 945599. This cottage is well appointed and in an ideal location just opposite the sea wall and backed by North hill. it is well appointed and comfortable for a party of 5 in our case. We have stayed at the property next door some years ago and this influenced our choice in covid times. Well equipped, in all respects only problem in that it took a little time to sort out the heating but resolved. On outside of main town but easy walking distance to amenities. Would rent again Malcolm Searle

I’m so annoyed at this company we were on holiday in Wales when the area went into lock down we immediately e mailed Sykes to ask what to do we got no reply the lock down happened at 6 pm on Thursday 1 st of Oct we left the property that morning to leave the area before lockdown happened as to welsh government guide lines to leave as soon as practicable losing 9 nights of our holiday at no time did the owners say we could stay phoned Sykes on 2nd of Oct girl on phone agreed we could not stay now received an e mail to say no refund fools that we were we booked another cottage throw Sykes for this week starting 3 rd of October in Scotland so we did not completely lose our holiday customer service stinks having booked many holidays throw this company in the past we will certainly not be booking in future we should have known they were not to be trusted we had to break of a holiday when our mother died no refund for that either even although we had took insurance out on both occasions rotten to the core

After an initial prolonged waiting time on the phone, the service received from customer relations member Carl was excellent. I made a mistake on booking, he sorted it and called back as promised the next day. Many thanks.

Received e-mail saying holiday cancelled for end of June went on Sykes website to find cottage available for 2021 the same week, Booked amendment on line at an extra cost of £11.00 The whole process was easy and took 3 minutes.

Sykes have NOT made me happy.i have tried to rebook ( Coronavirus halting the possibility of meeting my bookin) and wrote explaining,even offering to postpone for 12 months. Told I could do this through my account . I tried but it was not possible. The site blocked the ability to amend holiday dates. I had checked their site and ghe cottage we had booked was free for the weeks wanted in 2021. They seem to be willing go.take new bookings but curiously unable to.amend , as they suggest we do, any live bookings. I wrote and explained and again suggested 2021 dates. Again told to use my account but no access to that function was allowed. They are now insistent that I pay the full deposit despite the fact that I will not be able to fulfil the booking due to Lockdown. I then tried to cancel and as always the only way to cancel was to tick the box which "confirmed to collection of the full deposit" total lack of integrity in my view. Sykes ate manipulating dates under the terms of their punitive deposit scheme in line and contrary to their contentions, are certainky NOT acting on behalf of their clients best interests. I hope that clients both renters and holiday makers take full note of their dishonourable approach and guess they will.soon cease trading.

Nice website that makes reviewing options a pleasure. The transaction went through without incident and Sykes made several follow-ups to ensure all was well (a nice touch). We will definitely use them again when booking holiday cottages.
