In 2025, Sykes Cottages has expanded its portfolio with stays that go beyond traditional “holiday cottages.” Here’s what caught our attention:
🏡 Eco-Friendly Getaways
- From solar-powered cottages in Cornwall to sustainably renovated barns in Wales, Sykes is leaning into greener stays.
- Think reclaimed wood, rainwater harvesting, and locally sourced welcome hampers.
- One guest noted, “We left lighter—mentally and environmentally.”
🌊 Coastal Luxury with a Local Touch
- Recent listings in Devon and the Lake District feature floor-to-ceiling views, hot tubs, and walkable paths to the sea.

- Perfect for couples craving something special, or families looking to make core memories.
🐾 Pet-Friendly with No Compromises
- More than ever, people want their holidays to include every member of the family—including the furry ones.
- Sykes now offers expanded pet-friendly cottages with secure gardens, dog towels, and even “puppy welcome packs.”
- According to a user review: “It was the first trip where our dog felt as welcome as we did.”

It’s Not Just a Booking—It’s an Invitation
At its heart, Sykes Cottages is about more than places to sleep. It’s about giving you space to feel more connected—to nature, to loved ones, and maybe even to yourself.
