Property was not as advertised - issues not addressed
The customer service I have received form Sykes Holiday Cottages has been awful. I broke my toe joint due to damaged decking at a home, I have sent several emails and was advised Anisha was dealing with my complaint, but every time I email I get the same auto reply. This is not acceptable. I’m still in pain 5 years later.
