Sykes takeover of Lyme Bay Holidays, not great news for their customers.

For many years we have booked accommodation in the Lyme Regis area with LBH, including a week last May just before the take over, this morning I visited the website to book another week in late Spring, The new Sykes style website is no where as useful as the old one which used to show you exactly where each property was so you could easily avoid all properties with a steep climb up a hill, the new map just shows you where Lyme Regis is.

The big change though is fixed arrival and departure dates. Last year we made a Monday to Monday booking which avoided travelling on the busiest days of the week, now it seems it is all Fri-Fri or Sat-Sat. You can change that on the web site but it nearly trebles the price of the holiday £1,200 becomes £3,200 which is bonkers, same happens if you want to add extra days.
