Local service, national reach

Helpful Holidays has been one of the leading south west holiday cottage agencies for more than 40 years.

From a small cottage business set up around the Dartmoor farmhouse kitchen table of the original owners, with just a small number of cottages, Helpful Holidays has grown significantly, now with more than 650 stylish holiday homes, covering the whole of the West Country.

This award-winning company experienced impressive further growth when it became part of the Sykes Holiday Cottages family in 2018, and by keeping the local office and friendly approach – along with the kind of personal service that only a regional office can deliver – the Helpful Holidays team is able to remain on hand for their homeowners, who they get to know personally. At the same time, having access to the marketing budget of a national company has allowed them to generate a huge increase in bookings for their happy clients!

“We are thoroughly delighted with the high level of bookings we are achieving, together with the excellent personal service we receive. I wholeheartedly recommend Helpful Holidays to anyone wishing to holiday let their property.”

With the ‘staycation’ here to stay and travel restrictions in place, the Helpful Holidays team have seen a massive uplift in booking levels like never before, which is now leading to demand so great that they’re inviting new owners to join their portfolio. One recent new property, only launched this February, has already obtained 30 weeks of bookings, generating £62,000 for the owner. This is a testament to the increasing demand for good-quality holiday properties.

Emily Rossiter, who has been letting her property with Helpful Holidays for more than seven years, says: “We are thoroughly delighted with the high level of bookings we are achieving, together with the excellent personal service we receive. I wholeheartedly recommend Helpful Holidays to anyone wishing to holiday let their property.”

Mr and Mrs Burden agree. Having been with Helpful Holidays for more than 19 years, they say: “Helpful Holidays are the best agent to guarantee success with your holiday business.”
