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

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.

Probably best cottage in Craster

Craster location on the Northumberland coast is ideal for getting to know the area. Harbourway has a brilliant location in the village with views of the Harbour. Just set back far enough from the road so passers by cannot disturb you, the village is so quiet at night you can hear the sea.

The property was a wonderful flow to it, with an extremely well thought out interior. The beds are as comfy as home with good linens and pillows too. The cosy wood burner in the living area is addictive, giving that extra ambiance. Even the ornaments and art work in the property are desirable. The kitchen is well equipped and the ice maker I will miss (I never knew I wanted one).

It will be hard to find another property as all round great as this. If you want luxury, for you and your friends, this is your place.

Lovely Seclusion

An immaculate property. Its quiet position made a very relaxing break. Lovely walks on the doorstep and will return soon.

Idyllic Luxury in the heart of the Dales

We had the most wonderful stay, a beautiful home which was hard to leave, but when we did the property is perfectly located to get to experience the beauty that is The Dales.

The fact we could walk outside and be on the Dales Way was beautiful.

We took our Labrador and the property as well as the surroundings were just perfect for a week away with the dog.

Ben was brilliant and checked in to make sure we had what we need. The welcome hamper for us and the dog were such lovely touches.

The most comfortable bed!

Did not want to leave, we will be finding more of the properties to stay in across the UK.

Can not recommend enough!!
