My partner and I had two properties booked with Sykes Cottages starting Tuesday 24 March the day after it was announced by the Prime Minister and the First Minister of Scotland that only essential travel was allowed. We have tried repeatedly since Monday to get in touch with Sykes Cottages by telephone, Twitter and Facebook messages getting messages saying no refunds would be given but a change of date was possible. We have just spoken with an advisor who stated that it was not Sykes Cottages policy to give refunds. Every other holiday property we had booked has refunded our money without any quibble. Shame on Sykes Cottages for profiting from a state of emergency in our country!!
