We started out in 1977 and are still run by the same family today, only marketing holiday cottages we'd be happy to stay in ourselves.

Over the years we've carefully grown our portfolio from a few fisherman's cottages in far west Cornwall, across the counties of Devon, Somerset and Dorset and over on to the Isle of Wight to include all the best bits, from bijou luxury apartments on the waterfront to sprawling manors with acres of grounds to explore.

We're looking to get in front of new audiences all the time, particularly a younger market as we cater well for young families with our Baby Plus properties that have a list of added extras to make life easier.

Having played with the idea of press trips for bloggers in the past, we thought it was about time we took Influencer Marketing a bit more seriously. That's when TravMedia popped up with sit-UP and we jumped at the serendipitous chance to meet lots of like-minded people and get the show on the road, so to speak.

We're looking forward to getting on board with enthusiastic people in the travel industry who we think will love our ethos and our places to stay as much as we do.

With over 1300 properties in our exclusive collection, we can usually find the perfect place for any occasion, whether it be a romantic honeymoon hideaway or a big multigeneration special occasion, staycations are definitely the way forward for 2019 and beyond.
