Sykes Holiday Cottages

Sykes Holiday Cottages is one of the United Kingdom's leading independent holiday cottage rental agencies, facilitating stays across the UK, Ireland, and New Zealand. Founded by Clive Sykes, the brand began as a family-run business and has grown exponentially through a series of tactical acquisitions and investments.

Today, the brand operates as a major tech-enabled travel platform, connecting property owners with holidaymakers. While its service is digital, its 'production'—the management and hospitality services—is primarily based out of its headquarters in Chester, England. The brand is now part of a global hospitality network under Forge Holiday Group, backed by significant private equity investment to expand its footprint in the European leisure market.
