Our words

We're a family company, born back in the 70s with a couple of fishermen's cottages in Porthleven. We've grown a lot since then but our ethos remains the same; only offering holiday homes we'd be happy to stay in ourselves. Our exclusive collection of over 1,400 places to stay features the best self catering cottages we've handpicked across the UK, from sea view escapes in Cornwall to countryside hideaways in Yorkshire.

We like to keep things as easy as possible for you, so here are some pre-prepared words for you to use in press and media coverage. If you require any additional words please do contact us.

With an exclusive, handpicked collection of over 1,400 places to stay across the UK, you can choose from cottages by the sea, properties with hot tubs, rural escapes, dog-friendly and family-friendly getaways, and eco holiday cottages, too.

Classic maintain the same standards across the portfolio - only bringing on properties they would be happy to stay in themselves. All of their properties have an over-the-top minimum inventory as standard, with more than enough teaspoons, hairdryers and all the fluffy towels and bed linen you might need.
