Homeowner Information

Are you interested in letting your South West home? Do you want the best prices and more bookings for your holiday cottage?

Experience and knowledge...

A family-run business which started in the 1970s, we are the area’s leading independent holiday lettings agency. Our success is based on the simple premise that we offer great service and unrivalled experience. Our staff live locally and many have been with us for a number of years – their knowledge of Devon and Cornwall and insight into the local holiday cottages market is one of our unique selling points.

Local expertise...

We have an office in Braunton and are passionate about our portfolio of properties across the SouthWest – the high level of repeat business we get from both holidaymakers and homeowners is testimony to the expertise and attention to detail we deliver.

Positive and rewarding...

Holiday lettings provide a source of income and are a good way to retain ownership of a property while not living in it full-time yourself. Providing cottage holidays is a positive and rewarding experience – you’ll be supporting the local economy by bringing people into the area, and customers will really appreciate the efforts you make to provide them with comfortable and clean holiday cottage.

We know how to market your property...

We aim to offer the greatest selection of individual, well-equipped, quality properties and when it comes to ensuring a safe home for your holiday property, we believe we’re the best. We know how to market your property, our bookings system is easy to use and efficient, we can introduce you to a suitable housekeeper, and we operate a high level of support service to co-ordinate any emergency or maintenance issues so that holiday home ownership is hassle-free.

We work hard to support and contribute to the communities in which we work and live - that's why we were the first to win the North Devon Biosphere Sustainable Business Award. But when it comes to the way in which we run our business, the focus is as wide as the beaches for which North Devon is so well known. Our advertising is national as well as regional and is constantly reviewed to produce the best results, and our marketing strategy keeps us in regular contact with an ever-growing customer database. We invest in PR campaigns which generate coverage in newspapers and magazines, while attracting a huge volume of traffic to our website as a result of online ‘pay per click’ and search engine optimisation campaigns. And our comprehensive website is integrated with our industry-leading booking system, tabs, to allow for online reservation and payment.

Quality assessed...

Part of our strength is the diverse portfolio of properties we let, all of them offering the high quality of accommodation demanded by today’s discerning customers. That quality is ensured by our commitment to nationally-recognised and trusted schemes – every property is graded shortly after recruitment by our own VisitEngland Assessor and then annually inspected to ensure that it continues to meet the high standards our holidaymakers expect.

We’ve been in the holiday lettings business a long time and have acquired a wealth of knowledge and experience which we’re happy to share. Our advice is free, and offered without obligation.

When it comes to ensuring a safe home for your holiday property, we believe we’re the best. We’re happy to share our knowledge and experience … so let us know how we can help you get exactly what you want from your holiday cottage.
