We’ve been raising the standards of self catering holidays since 1977.
Our family ethos
Tony and Clare Tregoning started the business back in 1977 and their dedication to quality and excellence is at the heart of everything we do. Tony is sadly no longer with us, but we still adhere to their original ethos of finding holiday homes we would like to stay in and have slowly grown the company to find the best picks of properties across the counties. Plus Clare still drops in to keep us on our toes.
As an independent, family-run company, we wouldn’t expect you to stay anywhere we wouldn’t want to stay ourselves. And we’re pretty picky. We want you to walk into your handpicked holiday home and say ‘wow’, sit back and relax.
If you want to make your May half-term count this year, why not book a family holiday in Dorset? Our range of self-catering cottages come in all shapes and sizes, with plenty of room for your little ones. Many cottages have extra facilities like swimming pools, games rooms and large gardens so the kids will be in entertainment heaven while mum and dad relax.
May isn't all about half-term though. There are two bank holidays to look forward to, and lots of opportunities to make the most of this beautiful and diverse county ahead of the summer crowds. Whether you're looking for a solo retreat, romantic couples getaway or catch up with friends, we can help you find the ideal cottage for you. If you've got a four-legged member of the family, it's great news as many of our cottages are dog-friendly too.
