The booking via Sykes was very 'user-friendly', done very easily by helpful and friendly staff, and follow up emails quick and efficient.

Please find below rural holiday cottages to rent. A holiday in the
countryside lifts the spirits whatever the time of
year and our portfolio of rural cottages features some absolute
gems. Many are traditional in style, with wooden beams and floors,
real log fires and farmhouse kitchens; while others are really
modern with clean, contemporary lines and the latest fixtures and
fittings. Some are big, some are small and all boast idyllic
settings amid peace and quiet, away from bustling towns and cities
- pure bliss in today's hectic world!
Our rural cottages spring up in all kinds of places across the
length and breadth of the UK and Ireland, including the magical
Highlands of Scotland, the untamed landscapes of the Yorkshire
Dales and the delightful rolling countryside of the Cotswolds.
Enjoy lazy days exploring the region, whether your preferred
method is by car, on horseback or bicycle, or by your own two feet
- relish that fresh air and feel truly invigorated! Potter around
sleepy hamlets and pretty villages, stocking up with provisions
from small, independent shops rather than busy supermarkets.
Tempted yet? If you're the kind of person who's always
rushing here and there, stop a while and savour the laid-back
lifestyle of a rural cottage holiday. You'll love it - we
promise!
