A CHESTER-BASED holiday cottage company has continued its winning streak with an eleventh win at the British Travel Awards.

Sykes Holiday Cottages took home the award for ‘Best Large Company for UK Holiday Home Rentals’ at the prestigious ceremony, with awards decided via a public vote.

A sister brand also part of the Forge Holiday Group, Coast and Country Cottages, also won in the mid-sized category, marking the tenth year that the Devon-based business has been recognised.

The British Travel Awards are the world’s largest customer-voted travel awards, with over a million votes cast by more than 400,000 travellers ahead of this year’s event.

The winners were announced at a ceremony in Battersea, London last week, with this hosted by Murder in Successville star and comedian, Tom Davis.

James Shaw, Managing Director of Sykes Holiday Cottages, said: “Our unbeaten record at these customer-chosen awards is a source of great pride within the business.  

“Our awards success is a testament to the dedication of our wonderful property owners, loyal customers, and hardworking teams, both in Chester and across the wider business.

“A huge ‘thank you’ must also go to everyone who voted and supported us this year. We’re already looking forward to the next ceremony – bring on 2025!”

Sykes achieved B Corp certification last year, marking a major achievement in the holiday let agency’s ambition to make a positive contribution to its people, the planet, and communities it serves.

Now part of Forge Holiday Group, Sykes has operated its headquarters in Chester for the past 28 years.
