Hi there,

We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed your experience and found our online booking system easy and straightforward to use. Thank you for taking the time to leave us such wonderful feedback.

Regarding the deposit options, these are set by the individual property managers rather than by us. In most cases, properties will only offer the option to pay a deposit when the booking is made 8 weeks or more in advance.

Thank you again for your kind review, and look forward to helping you book the next one.

Best wishes,
Chelsea

Not a holiday company, but a portal for other operators.

Be very careful when perusing this portal, for that is what this is. It is not a holiday company, but merely a portal for other holiday letting operators, some of which deserve a very low reputation. Check out who is actually managing the holiday let and the small print in any contract you enter into. We had to cut short our holiday this year when Sykes Cottages didn't resolve the issues, including a bed with broken mattress.

Hi Linda,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent experience.

We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t have a positive experience during your recent holiday and that you were unable to resolve the issues you encountered directly with the property manager.

Dog Friendly Cottages is a online listing agent, who partner with multiple property managers to showcase holiday properties.

We do specify the property partner within the booking terms and conditions, which are provided for review and agreed to as part of the booking process, as we appreciate that knowing who manages a property may be an important factor when choosing where to stay.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Customer Support team at support@dogfriendlycottages.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

Best wishes,
Chelsea

Could advise regarding payment a different company is involved!

Nearly had a heart attack when booking as my payment went through but the page on this site crashed. Then there wasn’t any trace of my booking until a notification from another holiday company appeared and confirmed my booking.
