Also known as 'Hogan's Cottages'. Booked and paid for holiday to the Republic of Ireland. Due to Covid restrictions, and as I live in England, I can not go. Current restrictions state I would need to isolate in Ireland for 10 days, and they 'may' review this on 19th July for all fully-vaccinated people. Problem 1: I travel on 18th July. Problem 2: I was a volunteer for Novavax vaccine research late last year, and am fully-vaccinated with a highly effective vaccine. However, as this vaccine is not yet officially approved, I do not have proof that anyone outside of England will accept. Therefore, on both counts I can not travel to the Republic of Ireland. And Sykes are refusing to refund me, so I am able to book something else in the UK - even though I am less than 12 days away from my departure, and current restrictions state that people from the UK can not travel to the Republic of Ireland without isolating for 10 days in a very expensive hotel! Absolutely shocking treatment! Do not book with this company - they take your money, and then deliver zero customer service and zero empathy for one of the many UK volunteers making it possible for everyone else to have their vaccinations...
