I have read most of the reviews about sykes cottages and I most say that there is a pattern to sykes ripping off people. i booked for april 2023 for the captains cottage scarbourough paid in full . I was offered a clean cosy relaxing well equipped cottage with parking .no mention of a school opposite parking so bad that your car cannot be moved if you do manage to get one. The smell of cannabis up and down the street that's before you enter the cottage through a door that doesn't lock cleaners that have not been in from the last guests. the stench that takes your breath away.the peeling wall paper the damp .the bags of rubbish in the back garden the decking covered in weeds the noise from next door all hours .sykes forgot to mention any off this in the advert .but you dare to point it out to them .that is if you manage to get through to the couldn't careless staff. but they are quick to react about how much they are taking from you for cancelling. Come on Sykes it should be us poor suckers taking money form you listening to your lies that made us book these slums they should be a law against you and to be honest I thought they was call trading standard but you cover your back so well . So people don't be another victim of unscrupulous company .like others never again .
