So, what makes a holiday home eye-catching to those planning their breaks in Dartmouth and the surrounding area? Focusing on what customers are looking for in self-catering properties, the Staycation Index revealed that luxury properties were the most popular type of hol- iday home in 2018, with features such as log fires and hot tubs in high demand. For holiday home owners looking to maximise their letting revenue, data showed that prop- erties with hot tubs can earn up to 54% more than other homes in the same region. Coast & Country Cottages New Property Consultant Rachel Farley says ‘Increasingly discerning customers are looking for luxurious properties of a VisitEngland Four Star standard or above. Similarly, holiday homes with views over the River Dart are excep- tionally popular, whilst dog-friendly accommodation and properties with private parking always sell quickly!’ Another important factor for property owners to
consider is going pet friendly as, in 2018, one third of Brits brought their pet on holiday. Accepting pets helped Sykes Cottages owners to earn an average of 11% more per year and Coast & Country Cottages bookings patterns show that pet-friendly properties often book more quick- ly than others. Particularly in Dartmouth, with an abun- dance of fantastic walking routes, rolling countryside and dog-friendly beaches on the doorstep, demand for pet-friendly accommodation has been steadily growing over the years.

In light of these trends in customer booking behaviour, Coast & Country Cottages is now actively looking to recruit new properties to satisfy the need for self-catering holiday accommodation in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, both for the 2019 and 2020 season.
