Found the map slightly awkward when moving around. (Maybe an age thing!) Once booked everything was very straightforward and information sent was clear and helpful.

Lovely setting, room was clean and tidy, comfy bed, nice warm shower. We took two camping chairs with us as nowhere to sit which we knew before we arrived. Great location for exploring the area.
Very quick and easy booking process. Although because I'd waited for confirmation as to dates the price went up by £40!

Be very careful when booking through this website!
We booked a lodge for a family break, it was not obvious prior to booking that it was a 3rd party booking for Sykes cottages. Have since been told by Sykes that we’ve been double booked - the lodge was already booked by them! Currently waiting for a refund and the kids are really disappointed.

Hi Mr Hewitt,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We understand how disappointing it must have been to have your booking cancelled after paying in full, particularly when you were due to stay the following week.
As a listing agent, we unfortunately don’t have control over the availability of the properties listed on our website. However, we’re very sorry to hear that the property had been overbooked and that this affected your plans. We do hope the property manager was able to arrange a suitable alternative stay for you.
Best wishes,
Chelsea
Poor accommodations
Poor accommodations, are the cottages vetted, some basic items were missing, Tv control, grill handle, rubbish bags etc, the place was far from spotless and the electrical wiring was questionable
Following the reply from LastMinuteCottages, I have no idea how to contact the management that control the cottage, the only contact we had was the owner who lived abroad somewhere.

Hi Roy,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear that you found the accommodation to be poorly maintained during your recent stay. As the listing agent, we don’t manage the properties ourselves, this is handled by the property manager through whom the booking is made.
We do hope you were able to raise your concerns directly with the property manager and that they were able to assist in resolving the issues you experienced during your stay.
If you have any further questions or need any assistance, please feel free to contact us at support@lastminutecottages.com and we’ll be happy to help where we can.

You have a listing under Sea Ayr centre appartments .
I want to bring to your attention that this place is no where near the photos listed and is indeed a horrible place to stay , I recently had a stay there with my family and was like hell . The bathroom is full of mould and flooring is so badly laid .
Once I brought this to there attention they called me a drug addict and was very hostile .
I am making it my priorty to ket everyone know how badly treated we were and how bad condifon the place is in

Hi Andrea,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’ve experienced an issue with your booking.
We’ve had a look at our records and can see that a booking was successfully made through Last Minute Cottages on Friday for a stay in October. We’re therefore not quite sure what may have happened or what you mean by having only three hours to make alternative arrangements.
We’d really like to understand what’s happened and make sure everything is okay with your booking. If there’s a problem that we’re not aware of, please contact our Customer Support team at support@lastminute-cottages.co.uk with your booking details and we’ll be very happy to look into this for you.
We hope we can get to the bottom of this and ensure everything is in place for your October stay.
Best wishes,

Hi Meetul,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your accommodation was cancelled after you had booked and paid for a three-night stay.
We completely understand how disappointing and frustrating this must be, particularly as this was planned for the bank holiday weekend and you had been looking forward to a holiday with your children. Having to tell them that those plans can no longer go ahead is something we’re genuinely sorry for.
We’d really appreciate the opportunity to look into what happened with your booking and see whether there is anything we can do to help. Please contact our Customer Support team at support@lastminute-cottages.co.uk with your booking details and we’ll be happy to investigate further.
We sincerely apologise again for the disappointment and inconvenience caused.
