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.
From the Cornish coast and moorland and the wilds of Exmoor National Park to the unspoilt landscapes of Northumberland National Park and the magic of the Isle of Skye (where you might even spot the Northern Lights!), these special stargazing locations are sure to make a holiday to remember. Autumn and winter are particularly magical for stargazing holidays; prepare a hot chocolate in a flask, wrap up warm, and enjoy. And do not forget to read our guide to Dark Sky Sites in the UK to brush up on your cosmic knowledge beforehand!
