Chester-based holiday company Sykes Cottages has been voted best large UK holiday cottage booking company for the third year running in the British Travel Awards.

More than a million votes were cast by members of the public, making the 2015 British Travel Awards the most coveted in the travel industry.

Chief executive Miles Hill who represented the company at the spectacular awards ceremony in London said: “We are absolutely delighted to win this award for the third time.

“We moved into our new Lower Bridge Street offices in Chester city centre at the start of the year, to allow us to expand, so that we now offer more than 6,000 holiday cottages and have a team of more than 250 great people delivering the best customer care in the holiday cottage market. This award is recognition of that.”
