Locally based holiday lettings agency Coast & Country Cottages has been nominated for the Best UK Holiday Cottage/Self Catering Booking Company in the prestigious 2016 British Travel Awards (BTAs). The winners will be determined by the consumer, who has until 30 September to cast their vote, with the successful companies announced at the BTA Gala Awards Dinner, being held in London on 23 November 2016.

The family owned and managed agency, Coast & Country Cottages, won Best UK Holiday Cottage/Self Catering Booking Company (small) in both 2014 and 2015 and is delighted to be nominated once again, ahead of another busy summer season. Since acquiring the company in 2001, Andrew and Karen Jones have successfully grown the business, which now markets and manages around 400 self-catering holiday cottages exclusively in Salcombe, Dartmouth and the surrounding coast and countryside.

Karen Jones, Director, says 'Winning at the British Travel Awards for the last two consecutive years was due to the commitment, hard work and dedication of our fantastic team and we would like to thank them all, plus our loyal property owners and the customers who return to stay with us in this beautiful area, year after year. We hope that, once again, our many satisfied customers will choose to vote for us in the 2016 British Travel Awards over the coming weeks and thank them all in advance for their continued support.'

British Travel Awards' chief executive Lorraine Barnes Burton said: “This year there are nearly seven hundred nominations listed against 83 Award categories and competition to win a British Travel Awards will be fierce.  In 2015 more than a million votes were cast by the consumer to decide the winners, making the BTAs easily the largest awards programme in the UK. Voting in the 2016 Awards is now open and nominated companies have until 30th September to lobby their happy customers for votes – good luck to Coast & Country Cottages.”

The British Travel Awards are considered the benchmark for excellence when it comes to finding out who really is the best in the travel industry. The British Travel Awards is a proudly independent organisation, verified by leading global business practitioners, Deloitte.
