Never ever book any property through Sykes or that is managEd by them including any company that is part of Sykes. Look very carefully at the small print towards the bottom of the front page on web sites and then phone and ask the company a direct question. Are you part of Sykes? If the answer is yes, don’t go any further despite any assurances that the booking will be governed by the company’s own T&Cs. There are also lists available if all companies under the Sykes umbrella. Their descriptions are misleading, they have a tenuous grip on the truth, they use salad words to bat away any criticism, are impossible to contact unless you wish to make a booking and can’t give a toss about customers or cottage owners. Avoid at all costs.
