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.
Weekend breaks are underrated, in our opinion! Throw a few essentials in your bag and away you go. Why allow yourself only one trip to your favourite corner of UK in the summer holidays? A weekend in a holiday cottage anytime of year is an opportunity to see the autumn leaves scatter the garden or storm watch whilst hunkered up in the corner of a cosy coastal pub or see the hedgerows fill with spring flowers. These little moments don't ask for a lot of time but create such special memories. Take a look at our collection of exclusive holiday cottages in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset and the Isle of Wight available for two nights and surprise yourself (or someone else!) with how much you can discover on your short break holiday...
