Sykes Holiday Cottages is proud to introduce new flexible cancellation terms for holidaymakers which allows them to cancel up until 7 days before check-in, offering greater booking confidence and flexibility.<\/p>

Sykes is the first holiday let rental agent to launch this option in the UK, with Sykes partnering with Pikl, a specialist insurtech provider, to enable the new customer proposition.<\/p>

Flexible cancellation allows travellers to change their mind about going on holiday, cancel their booking and get their money back before midnight, 7 days before check-in (less a small flexible cancellation fee and the costs of any travel or accidental damage insurance they’ve purchased through Sykes).<\/p>

As well as benefitting customers, the flexible cancellation terms also aim to support holiday let owners to increase bookings. Sykes’ owners could reap the rewards of a higher customer confidence and booking conversion, with the flexible cancellation terms now in line with what is offered by hotels and online travel aggregators.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"As a champion for UK holidays, it's only right that we're leading the charge when it comes to our customer proposition, including trying new cancellation options.

\nWe understand that plans can change unexpectedly, and our new offering ensures customers can book their dream staycation with peace of mind that they will get money back if they can't travel.

\nThis latest update ties directly into our commitment to providing holidaymakers with the best experience possible. Following an initial test period, by providing this option on all of the properties across our UK portfolio, we hope customers will feel more empowered than ever to choose what feels best for them.\"\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
