The property itself was very comfortable and well equipped I found communication with Sykes time consuming as your phone numbers were not manned or just cut off and I was constantly referred to the app which when I got to it did not show my booking - when I eventually got replies to emails they were helpful but the multiple attempts to contact were unnecessarily stressful so in future I would not choose or recommend Sykes despite your range of properties -
