Little Broadenham, Chard, Somerset

Lovely big property with beautiful garden and fabulous views (and owl's at night). Plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 dogs. The house has a well equipped kitchen, large dining table, plenty of seating and very comfy beds. Patio and hot tub were enjoyed immensely by all and plenty of room for our 4 legged friends. A perfect 10 days

Despite due diligence and checking the company was nothing to do with Sykes Cottages as it comes under the Snaptrip umbrella, I found on receipt of deposit it is infact a SYKES MANAGED PROPERTY a company I avoid like the Plague. False advertising at best!

In reply to your apologie, but not exactly helping me, I have been given this which I am looking into, Digital Markets Competition and Consumers Act 2024 requires information to be given on who you are dealing with. You are lying by omission. There is no where on your sites that you say Sykes collect the payments and manage the bookings.

Hi John,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed after discovering the property you booked is managed by Sykes Cottages.

Dog Friendly Cottages is part of the Snaptrip Group, and we work with a wide range of property partners to offer our customers as much choice as possible. Some of the properties available on our website are managed by third-party agencies, and partner information is provided as part of the booking terms and conditions you're asked to read before a reservation is completed.

We appreciate that you have specific preferences around the companies you choose to book with, and we’re sorry that this wasn’t clearer for you before completing your booking.

We’ll take your feedback on board, as we’re always looking for ways to make our property information and partner details as clear and transparent as possible.

Best wishes,

Rebecca
