The Web site had very good filters which enabled me to focus only on the properties that filled my criteria. The booking process was easy.

5pm is late getting in may be a worth having a look at changing it. House is brilliantly located, only there from Friday to Sunday, had to pay for full week rental on hot tub, refused to add on plus when we got there no privacy it’s right outside the house no garden.

Hello Janet,
I'm very sorry to hear that you were having difficulty amending a booking and I sincerely apologise for this.
As we are just a listing agent, any cancellation or amendment requests are processed by the property manager which in your case would be Sykes Holiday Cottages.
Nevertheless we do take all customer feedback into account and the issues you have raised with us. I appreciate that you have supplied us with your contact details and I will be contacting you to discuss this further.
Kind regards,
Katie

Could be a little clearer
Having emails from different company names is a little confusing, and being asked for name, address etc. twice was annoying too.
Otherwise, quite straightforward.
