What People Say About Us

“We have now had seven years experience with Classic, and feel very comfortable with them as our partners in holiday letting. We have received, and continue to receive, excellent support from the complete team.

From our experience, which is echoed by our guests, we are delighted with the professional approach, their fast response, and customer support ethos that runs right through the company.

Classic have proved to us that they are a forward looking organisation that doesn’t sit on it’s laurels, but can be relied upon to react to changing trends in tourism in the West Country.”

Marion and Eric Hunt, Owners of Watermill Cottage (1192).

“When Classic Cottages took on ‘Maryland’ for us in 2004 our occupancy went from 30% (16 weeks in 2004) to 79% (41 weeks in 2006), which speaks for itself.

Classic obviously have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the self-catering holiday trade in the West Country and we have been very impressed by their commitment to achieving the best for both their Owners and guests.

With so many holiday homes all competing for the same guests it’s great to be with an agency that is consistently giving us the occupancy rates we need through good years and bad.”

Newton Farm Partnership (Sarah Hutchings), Owner of Maryland (1645).

“Having been disappointed with another holiday company, we joined Classic Cottages in 2006 and have been fully booked for two seasons.

We cannot speak too highly for their professionalism and expertise in marketing our property, and for their welcome and friendliness towards us, the clients.”

When I meet my guests on a Saturday, time and time again they confirm that they are always confident of standards when booking with Classic Cottages.”
