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

Escape-from-it-all and book one of our secluded cottages -
guaranteed to leave you feeling totally invigorated and fully
relaxed.
Perhaps it's your honeymoon or special anniversary and
you're looking for a quiet retreat for two, far from the beaten
track and deep in the countryside. Think cosy nights in by real log
fires, hand-in-hand strolls along leafy lanes; no neighbours, no
internet, no timetables, no work!
Or, like Cameron Diaz in the film 'The
Holiday', it could be a holiday just for you. One to spend
time alone, to put pen to paper, learn how to paint, walk for
miles, explore your own country - or even discover one's inner
self and improve overall wellbeing. Who knows? You might even meet
your very own Jude Law!
You may be searching for that dream secluded cottage at the
coast, a hidden jewel away from crowds. A place to unwind and
appreciate the simpler things in life - the sounds of rolling surf,
unique flora and fauna, dune-fringed landscapes, wide, starry
skies.
From remote Scottish isles and moorland settings in Devon, to
rural villages in the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbria. Add Wales,
southern Ireland...the list goes on. We have all kinds of secluded
cottages in all kinds of settings - just take a look and see!
