Filed 3 times to take booking.

You failed to take the booking on the first attempt. You then failed to take the payment on the second. You passed the details of the booking over to cottages.com with the wrong information. You failed to supply the payment information. So my booking has now been cancelled. I will try again.

Please contact us at support@dogfriendlycottages.co.uk with your booking details so we can look into exactly what happened and help ensure this is resolved for you. We’d also be very happy to assist if you’d like help rebooking your stay.

Simple, Clear, and Reliable Booking Process

I had a really smooth and stress-free experience booking through Sykes Holiday Cottages via Rest Easy Group. The whole process was straightforward, clear, and easy to follow from start to finish. Communication was excellent, and it was reassuring to know there’s a dedicated Customer Success Team available if needed.

Everything was well explained, and I felt confident that any queries or changes could be handled quickly. It made the whole booking experience feel simple and well supported. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again—highly recommend! 😊

Hi Deidre,

Thanks for leaving us some feedback from your recent booking on Dog Friendly Cottages.

I’ve looked into this for you and can see that your first contact with us was yesterday, when my colleague advised you to reach out to the Property Manager regarding your booking confirmation. As a third-party listing agent, we’re unfortunately unable to provide booking confirmations directly, as these are issued by the Property Manager who handles the booking and payment.

We’ve also checked our records and haven’t received any previous emails or previous missed calls from you.

If you need any further assistance in contacting the Property Manager or obtaining your confirmation, please don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’re more than happy to help. You can reach us at support@snaptrip.com.

Best wishes,
Chelsea

I wanted a specific lodge at a holiday park in Bude and found it on your website rather than taking pot luck on the parks own website.
