Our 2013 brochure is out with holiday cottages galore...


We're delighted to announce the release of our 2013 brochure. With over 580 wonderful places for you to choose from throughout the West Country, we're sure you'll find the perfect spot: a family holiday near a fine sandy beach; a relaxing break exploring the stunning coastal scenery or rugged moorland; an indulgent stay in a luxurious 5 star house; a grand gathering in a large farmhouse or historic country house; or perhaps just a quick retreat to blow away the cobwebs?.

This year, Green Cottages qualifying for our eco initiative feature for the first time. There is also a marked increase in properties throughout Devon, and in particular across Dartmoor and the central ‘river country’, as well as north Cornwall and the Newquay coast. Why not browse all our new holiday cottages?

Amongst the many places new for 2013 is The Old Stables, a big stone-built cottage for 10 converted from a former barn in the heart of Ilsington on Dartmoor’s farmed and wooded south-eastern slopes. 

Smart and spacious inside, the original features combine easily with modern touches; a big arched floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the open-plan living area gives rolling countryside views. This comfortable and welcoming cottage is a good base for exploring the moors and coast. Pets welcome.

On the quieter Pentire side of Newquay in north Cornwall, just 200 yards from Fistral Beach and the coastal path, is Fistral Edge, a spacious, modern three-storey townhouse for six. 

Set at the end of a gated crescent row with its own enclosed lawned garden, the light and airy house has lovely long uninterrupted views across the golf course and beach and out to sea. Pets welcome.

All our properties are regularly inspected and star rated by our team so we can advise holidaymakers honestly through first-hand experience; 38 holiday homes carry a top 5 star rating, while 60 have 4½ stars. 67 have use of a heated swimming pool, some have private moorings or fishing rights; others are on working farms and most have stunning views across countryside or out to sea. Many are within ambling distance of the beach or local pub.

Properties range from romantic retreats for two up to big country houses sleeping a maximum of 48 guests. In fact many of our properties are exceptionally plush and we're proud of our reputation for offering big and beautiful places. 81 of our houses sleep ten or more; many can organise professional catering and maid service. Prices are from £175 to £5,995 per week.

And don't forget, dogs can come too, with many of our holiday homes making your 'best friend' more than welcome. Cottage availability for 2013 is live on our website now, so you can already look and book online.
