“Avoid 25 George Quay – Booking.com & Sykes ARE SCAMS/CROOKS”
Nothing. The weather, LANCASTER CITY BUT NO THIS HOUSE!
Review of Booking.com, Sykes Cottages, and 25 George Quay
I am writing this to warn others about the deceptive practices of Booking.com, Sykes Cottages, and the property owner of this residence. What I experienced was disgraceful, and no traveler should have to go through the same.
Booking.com advertises properties with misleading information and hidden fees. I was charged for four guests even though the house only had two beds—an outright misrepresentation. When I raised the issue, Booking.com and Sykes Cottages pushed the blame back and forth, hiding behind automated replies that never solved anything. There are thousands of similar complaints online, proving this is not an isolated case.
The house itself was miserable. It smelled old and dirty from the moment we entered. It was attached to a bar THAT STAYS open until 3 a.m., making sleep impossible. PEOPLE TALKING LOUD AT BAR UNTIL 3AM. Despite being rented in summer, it had no air conditioning—a detail deliberately left out of the listing.
Amenities were unacceptable. No refrigerator (only a tiny mini-fridge), no cleaning service, no towels, and only one roll of toilet paper for a 13-day rental. THE PANS ARE RUSTED AND THE COFFE MACHINE DISGUSTING! On the first day, I even found a broken piece of glass on top of the bathtub—a serious safety hazard for my children. The owner’s response? “I will send someone soon.” Nothing was done.
The situation was so unbearable I left after six days, even though I had booked thirteen. Booking.com, Sykes Cottages, and the property owner mislead customers, take their money, and refuse accountability.
Do not believe the glowing reviews—they are fake or manipulated. Stay far away from Booking.com, Sykes Cottages, and this residence unless you want your trip ruined. I will also be posting a video on YouTube exposing all these issues so travelers can see the truth for themselves. TV DOESNT CONNECTS TO THE INTERNET, THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS HOUSE TO INTERACT YOU.

It was an excellent experience and would like to come back in the future.
The location is good, ~ 10 mins walk from the city centre, bus station and train station. The layout inside the house is good, excellent view of river Lune on the front side and meadows on the back side.

Perfect
The flat is amazing. The time there was perfect. The flat is very cozy, well decorated and very comfortable. The bedrooms are so confortable and very fragrant (we slept a lot there). The kitchen has everything we needed. The view from the windows is spectacular. James was very kind and receptive. The decoration with natural flowers was another lovely care!
I only haven't liked to leave the apartment. We would like to stay there for more and more days. It's an amazing accommodation indeed.

Cosy attic hideaway near centre of Lancaster.
Excellent location, next door to very friendly pub with good beer. Walking distance from supermarket, town centre, castle and river walks.
Cosy. Comfortable. Well equipped. Clean. Good views of river.
Couldn't get TV/Humax to work - no instructions.
Not really a complaint, but, the stairs/headroom/sloping floors took a little getting used to (for this 6 footer !). In the end it became part of the charm !
One needs to pay attention to parking - 3 hours out front (and overnight) but one needs to park beyond the viaduct (5 minutes walk) to get free parking other than that.

PERFECTLY WONDERFUL STAY WHICH WE VERY MUCH EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS.
We thought everything was fabulous. The furnishings were of excellent quality and everything was like brand new. We loved everything about the apartment including the way it sloped slightly due to the age of it! Old on the outside and brand new on the inside done in a very tasteful way. The furnishings etc had clearly been carefully thought out and you could tell that the owner really cares about his property and goes over and above for his guests which was much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend the apartment to anyone wishing to explore Lancaster and the surrounding area as it is perfectly located for such a visit.
Nothing - we loved it and in particular the location which turned out to be 5 minutes walk from where our family lived a century ago! We remembered being at the same family house in the 1950's and 1960's including the surrounding area which was very pretty.

Excellent stay in beautiful Lancaster
Excellent location in a quirky property. Facilities were like being in a home from home and had everything you needed. Bathroom was exceptional.
Only small drawback was duvet was too heavy, but thus could just be personal preference. I took tge duvet out of its cover and just used the cover.

Little gem
Really lovely apartment. Very comfortable beds, good kitchen and bathroom space, and spotless throughout.
Very easy walking distance from the town centre and castle. Excellent place to stay when coming up to visit our daughter at the university.
A couple of beams were a little low (especially one on the stairs) and caught us a couple of times. Might have annoyed us if we were taller. The sitting room was a little dark even with all the lights on.

Short break visiting son at uni in a lovely period property.
Thoughtfully furnished and very comfortable with a great location on the quayside.
Only personal preference, but would have preferred a walk-in shower so that we could take our parents.

A fabulous property in an awesome location!
A truly lovely apartment full of history in a fabulous location. it is a quirky place that is so comfortable and was perfect for our weekend away as a family. it is impeccably clean and so well equipped for us to cook for ourselves. Communication with the owner was also excellent.
The age means it is on a slope and the ceilings are low in places - but that isn’t really negative, just something to be mindful of.

Superb
Apart from my forgetting to phone for the keycode 48 hours before, everything was excellent. The owner rang and Sykes Cottages contacted the cleaner who brought round his keys within 30 mins.
Excellent facilities.
The floors are sloping and polished so it's advisable not to walk around in socks!

Quaint spot in a good location.
lovely spot with great history in a great location. was on upper floors so may not suit some people and banged my head a few times as I am tall but goes with the age of the building.
Very little really.

Had a great time the Apartment was fantastic a lot better than a hotel option.
A beautiful apartment set over two floors, the finish and decor is very nice and to a very high standard, I contacted James who was very helpful and a very nice chap he gave me lots of useful information. The setting is nice and quiet on the side of the river, only a five minute or so walk into the centre. We had a really lovely stay and it was a lot better than a hotel at that price point. If we were going to Lancaster again we would certainly try and stay there again. The beds were really comfortable and we had 2 really good nights sleep.
The parking situation is a bit of a strange one, there are parking bay spaces outside the property. But they are restricted to three hours between 8am and 6pm. James did tell me this and said they were quite strict upholding it, so i parking behind the apartment in a pay and display. After checking the council website and asking numerous people (including in the pub next door) nobody seemed to know if i could park between 6pm and 8am outside the apartment without getting a fine. Just a minor thing but i do like a free parking spot, There is free parking on the road further down but we found it a bit far away.

Historical, comfortable and a great choice!
We stayed here a couple of years before it was renovated by the current owner. The transformation is amazing. Still uneven floors due to age of the property (all part of the charm) but very sympathetically set up for short breaks. Having the history explained in the information folder was fascinating. The owner clearly loves his apartment, building and the city.
Having to leave. This really was a great time away!
