I've had mostly good experiences with this company. The descriptions of the cottages and apartments were spot on, and the photos really helped me make up my mind. Booking was easy and I got quick replies too.
Excellent cleanliness and amenities
The cottage was so clean and had everything we could possibly have needed for a comfortable stay. We couldn't find any faults with it at all. The owner, who lived next door, was really helpful during our visit. We can't wait to go back and will definitely recommend this place to others.
Best place to stay in the country
It's honestly the best place ever! The views are absolutely stunning, and it's so peaceful and cosy. The hosts are really lovely and helpful, we've already booked to come back next year. There's so much to do and see, and the food is delicious. I would definitely recommend everyone to stay here!
Quick and easy booking process
The process of booking our getaway was really simple and stress-free. It was so easy to find a property and make a reservation. The challenging part was picking just one amazing property from all the great options available. Now that we've booked, we can't wait for our trip and will share our experience in a review after our few days away.
Quick & easy booking
I've been booking holidays with this place for years now. They always have the best cottages that actually match what they show online. Last year, we had a bit of a worry with a cottage we booked, but they were really quick to help us sort it out. I just booked another holiday using their app and it was so easy. They even sent all the details straight away. I really like how you can save your favourite places too. I'll definitely be telling my friends about it!
Search criteria functionality
I recently tried out the search criteria feature on the website and I have to say, it was really handy. I loved being able to make a list of my favourite things and sort them by dates and places - it made finding what I needed a whole lot easier. One idea I had though, is that having the choice to make separate folders for different dates and places would make things even better. The website looks good overall, and the reviews were super useful in helping me make up my mind.
4 holiday houses
I've rented four holiday homes in the last year, and they were all fantastic! Each one had its own unique charm, was really enjoyable, had all the amenities we needed, was spotlessly clean, and matched their online descriptions perfectly. I would absolutely recommend them and I'll definitely be booking another one soon!
Short break at a cottage
I had a great time during my quick getaway at the cottage. The place was really cosy and spotless, which helped me unwind completely. The views of the Severn Valley from there were absolutely breathtaking. I especially loved taking long walks straight from the doorstep, it was so serene and scenic, perfect for discovering the surroundings.
Holiday cottage stay
We had a great time staying at this amazing house! It was really clean and had everything we could ask for. The best part was being able to park right by the front door - so handy. The only thing that would have made it even better is if one of the bedrooms had twin beds for the kids. It worked out fine though, as our youngest two ended up sharing a double bed.
Holiday bungalow stay
We had such a great time at the big holiday bungalow! The size of the place was just perfect for us to unwind and chill out. It was in a really quiet spot, which made it even more tranquil. We've been here three times now, and we're already thinking about returning in the future. Being close to Scarborough was a real bonus, and we never had any trouble with parking. The welcome pack was a really nice touch and made us feel well looked after when we arrived.
Last minute break
I recently decided to book a last-minute break, and I have to admit, I am pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. I got an immediate confirmation of my booking and even received the key code through email. The process was really quick and efficient, which I always appreciate when it comes to customer service. The cottage I stayed in was clean and cozy, just ideal for a weekend getaway. I would absolutely recommend this service to anyone in search of a hassle-free booking experience.
Easy booking process
Booking with this company was so easy. The information they gave us was really clear so we knew exactly what we were getting. When we got to the cottage, it was even better than we thought it would be. It was so clean and we were so happy to see that everything we needed was already there. And having a field next door for our dog to run around in was just perfect.
Excellent holiday accommodation
To be honest, I've been using Sykes to book our holiday cottages for years, and I've never been let down. The website is really easy to use, and they have a great selection of properties to choose from. Booking is a breeze, and whenever I have any questions, the customer service team is always there to help. I know I can always count on Sykes to find us fantastic accommodation for our holidays.
Lovely accommodation booking experience
I recently booked a fantastic place to stay with this provider and I was really impressed. The property was exactly how they said it would be and it was even better than I expected. They were always quick to get in touch about payment, directions, and how to get the keys to the property. I found their communication and organisation really impressive. Some providers give you a welcome pack, but unfortunately, this one didn't. However, that's a minor issue and I would absolutely book with them again in the future.
Repeat customer, seamless booking experience
I'm a frequent customer and have booked with them four times in Swanage. Every time I've booked, it's been really easy and straightforward. We recently went on a trip and afterwards decided to change where we were staying for our holiday in September. Luckily, both places were owned by the same person so the staff were able to sort it out quickly. They let me know about the change straight away and I got an email to confirm everything.
Easy booking process
I love going to this company whenever I want to book a cottage for my holidays. Booking with them is so easy and simple, which makes the whole experience stress-free every time. They have a great selection of cottages to pick from, so there's something for everyone. I really like how easy it is to use their website and book with them.
Online booking experience
Even though it's convenient to book things online, I was pretty let down by the customer service I received. When I had a problem with my booking, I had to go through a bunch of irrelevant options before I could find the right help. It was so frustrating that I eventually gave in and called Customer Services, only to be stuck waiting on hold for what felt like forever. When I finally got to speak to someone, they did answer my question quickly, but it shouldn't have taken me nearly 20 minutes just to get a simple response.
Buying holiday cottage, easy peasy!
I booked this holiday cottage online and it was really easy - no hassle at all. I got all the information I needed, the booking process was simple, and all the payments went through without a hitch. When I arrived at the cottage, it was spotlessly clean and everything was in working order. It looked just like the pictures. I didn't encounter any problems at all!
User-friendly website
This website is really easy to use and has loads of great options to help you decide. I've been using this site to book my holidays for years and it's never let me down. I'm so excited for our family holiday coming up!
Holiday
I booked a holiday cottage through Sykes. Unfortunately, my mother fell and injured herself so we could not go. Luckily, or so I thought, I had taken out the insurance Sykes offers when you pay your fees. It has taken two months and lots of form filling to be told today, I will have to wait five to six weeks to receive any information from the insurance company (ETI Services) and that my claim was "not important". DO NOT TAKE OUT THE INSURANCE FROM SYKES, it is not worth the bother.
