Owner experience through Sykes UKCaravan4Hire website

As an owner the transition to Sykes has been a disaster. The website is poor. Options are limited. Sykes has sought to take control of what owners can do with the listings.I read many comments here from owners and guests and sympathise with them all. As an owner I had to hide all availability as soon as the transition happened as I could not control the availability calendar which had not transitioned the existing availability calendar correctly to the new platform.That itself proved to be very painful and difficult.I did manage to reach Sykes and continue to await a return call from them to resolve a number of issues - none received after a month of waiting.I have since sent a message requesting to be delisted. This is being ignored.We are still trying to take our caravan details off the new Sykes website but cannot get a response from them. fortunately we have managed to hide it from view to avoid double booking requests.The transition has been very badly managed. The website has very limited administrative capability. In fact Sykes have sought to take a lot of control away from owners. I understand many are disappointed and frustrated with the new site.Sykes are also seeking to take a lot of control away from owners and dictate how owners control their listings and pricing etc..The UKcaravans4hire Company that sold their company seem to have abandoned caravan owners.It is saddening to read the bad experience guests have had booking through the new Sykes platform. There are other sites to book through which provide a much better direct owner experience for guests. I recommend contact through those sites.
