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.

A lovely New Year in Northumberland

Our second stay at Craster Reach. The house was very clean and has everything you could need. A perfect location to explore the area. A lovely New Year finished off with snow!

Bev from Sheffield ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful cottage in the Dales

Fabulous stay in this wonderful cottage. So comfortable, good quality linen and towels , plenty of hot water and the most comprehensively equipped kitchen I have encountered in a holiday rental for years.

The house was immaculately clean , with a good supply of logs for the wood burner. 

Situated in a very quiet part of the Dales, with walking straight from the door, we couldn’t have asked for more and highly recommend.

Caroline from Fowey ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A home from home

Driftwood does not feel like a holiday cottage. It's more like a home way from home and has everything you could possibly need for your stay.

It's always welcoming on arrival and hard to leave. Everyone at catch the breeze is warm and professional and easy to deal with. 

Catch the breeze is now my default choice when I want a break.

Angela from Matlock ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of the best holiday properties ever!!

Rock Lobster is definitely one of the best holiday properties we’ve ever stayed in! The location is incredible – literally just yards from the sea – and we were blessed with a week of absolutely beautiful weather.

The kitchen is fantastically well-equipped; the beds super-comfy; furnishings really smart; views to die for; loads of hot water; luxurious towels and bedlinen; an outdoor table and chairs for use in good weather; an upstairs seating area with a stunning view of the seas; an amazing house in absolutely every way imaginable!
