Easter at Coast & Country Cottages

A recent survey of accommodation providers in the South West found that the majority of local businesses were reporting a decrease in the number of visitors booking with them for the Easter period in comparison to last year. This year, many schools are taking the two week school holiday which usually falls around the Easter Bank Holiday, during April, meaning many families have been unable to book their usual week’s break in Devon. With Easter falling earlier and the weather to-date so unsettled, a break in the UK may not have appealed to many visitors this year. With potential visitor numbers apparently reduced in this way, businesses have had to work harder to attract bookings. Locally based Coast & Country Cottages are delighted that their efforts are paying off, reporting increased value of bookings of 14% for the Easter/school holiday period combined, compared with this period in 2007, which in itself was a record year. With almost 400 properties, exclusively in the South Hams, including many fabulous new luxury properties in Salcombe, Dartmouth and throughout the area, an extensive national and local advertising campaign, highly rated website and glossy brochure, contact Coast & Country Cottages at their Hannford’s Landing ‘head office’ for a free brochure or Owners Guide. 01548 843773 www.coastandcountry.co.uk
