About Catch the Breeze
The Sykes family has been letting holiday properties since the 1970s. It’s fair to say; it’s in our blood. Our experience owning, managing and even cleaning holiday properties led to the family founding and running another successful national holiday home letting agency that still bears our family name.
Today, Catch the Breeze is about pulling on all that experience to offer something incredibly special. We understand the importance of holidays in the UK. And that it’s something that requires a lot of hard work to get just right. We know this because we’re no different. Every year the Sykes family look forward to staying in holiday cottages and the unique experience that each stay brings. We have a genuine understanding of what makes a holiday special, of what creates that all-important sense of belonging and satisfaction that makes you feel: I could live like this.
What our guests say
Excellent house
Mill Farmhouse was an excellent home for our family gathering. Chose it for all the bedrooms having en-suites and big open living area which didn’t disappoint. All staff at Catch The Breeze were very attentive and provided excellent service. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

A Truly Wonderful Stay at The Reading Rooms - We'll be back!
We had the most fantastic stay at The Reading Rooms in this peaceful and picturesque spot in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. We enjoyed walks right from our doorstep and ventured out to The Wensleydale Creamery and Hardraw Force enjoying a superb pub lunch at The Green Dragon Inn.
The cottage itself felt like a real home from home - such a perfect place to unwind and relax! It is beautifully equipped with everything you could possibly need - we even managed to do some baking during our stay! We loved the TV/snug room which gave the children their own space to hang out.
The bedrooms were incredibly comfortable, with fresh high-quality linens. We all slept so well here! Outside the garden is simply lovely - it borders a charming beck and is a glorious peaceful space to sit. We were lucky with the weather so managed to enjoy some outdoor dining and we loved sitting outside with our morning coffee. It is clear that a lot of care has gone into making this a truly special place to stay and we can't wait to come back!

Thank you so very much for the most wonderful stay in your amazing home :).
I stayed with family and friends in October 25 to celebrate my 40th birthday. We had a mixture of ages with us and every single one of us adored all the house had to offer. The house itself is divine, being from a large family, we have stayed in quite a few similar homes but yours was by far the best in so many ways. The decor, the rooms, the space, the swimming pool, the kitchen, the sauna, the rooms throughout, just amazing. Cleanliness was also outstanding, as was location, to be in the middle of nowhere away from it all, so lovely and picturesque and Wi-Fi was good where we did need our phones.
Tara was so so lovely and accommodated so much of what we asked for - cant thank you enough that was a huge part of the overall experience.
We will 1million percent visit again and I hope soon.
Thanks so much
Laura and family xo

Fantastic stay in a wonderful property. Very professional staff who assisted with reservation and needs during the stay. Lovely setting with flocks of geese flying over each night - such a treat! Property is furnished to a high spec with good bedding and soft towels etc. Kitchen, lounge and dining space simply perfect.

Another amazing stay
Stayed for a long weekend with family. Our 3rd booking with Catch the Breeze. The position overlooking the sea is unrivaled with large kitchen/living/dining area where the family could come together to eat, drink and socialise.
The bedrooms are all pretty much the same so no fighting over who has the best. The downstairs bathroom is separate to one of the bedrooms but gorgeous and next door. The upstairs living room is the highlight.
Gorgeous comfy sofas with bifold doors that open onto the balcony overlooking the sea. We had a fantastic weekend celebrating my husbands birthday with all our children and have already booked to come back in October with friends. Highly recommend.
