Happy New Year 2007!
Bracing Dartmoor at New Year
We hope you managed to get to wherever you were going and enjoyed a really good Christmas and New Year holiday. For many it was a merry Christmas but a murky one and then came the gales, determined, it seemed, to sweep us forward without delay into 2007. But now the skies have cleared and the days are lengthening and the brightness and optimism of a New Year are upon us. A weekend in the West Country in a cosy cottage with a warm fire is just the job to blow lingering murkiness away and we’ve got lots of them! They’re all inspected by our team who are happy to talk to you about them frankly and discuss their suitability – for you. Please don’t hesitate to call if you’d like more information.

Last year we said, after achieving 95% positive feedback from your post-holiday questionnaires, we were hoping, but doubtful, to better it in 2006. Happily, we did! Of the feedback we received from questionnaires in 2006, 96% was positive. Thank you if you sent us a questionnaire in 2006. We can’t over-emphasise how important it is to us, and if you holiday with us in 2007 please send back your questionnaire or drop us an email after your holiday - they help enormously.

Pennywell Farm…
Pennywell Farm
This well-known attraction in the South Hams starts its 2007 season on February 10th, just in time for half-term, and Chris Murray and his friendly team will be there to welcome you. Just like last year, there are lots of opportunities to get up close and cuddly with newborn lambs, see the miniature pigs, watch a falconry display and take part in a circus workshop.

Valentine’s Day…
Valentine's Day
Forget the hype and the schmaltz – this is your perfect excuse (if you need one) to do something unexpected for someone you love. A change of scene could be just the ticket, particularly a secluded bolt-hole away from it all. If you’d like us to find a place in the West Country for you this Valentine’s Day, give us a buzz and we’ll help.

Here are a few to get you going …

Well done, Max!
Max negotiating a tight corner
A mixed year, but by September Max did himself and us proud by coming back to end the season in a very creditable 4th place in the Southwest Kart Championships! 2007 will see him moving up to the AVO Ginetta Championship. The first race is on May 20th at Donnington Park and we’ll be right there – cheering him on. Good luck for 2007, Max!
New properties…
Our first supplement of 2007 should be with you in early February. In the meantime, here are a couple of recent additions: one on the North Cornwall coast ( P360), not that far from the excellent pub at St Breward, and the other in East Devon near Exeter ( G40).

HH continued to go from strength to strength in 2006 and, of course, we hope that 2007 will prove just as successful. If you haven’t tried one of our holidays before, do have a look at our website or ask for a brochure. Then, please, call us. We believe we’re unique amongst cottage holiday agencies in our determination to know, in detail, the properties we let so we can match customers’ hopes, dreams and expectations to properties that meet them. Despite the technical wonders of the internet, human beings still make the best recommendations and the most reassuring are always from a helpful human who’s actually experienced the property in question and who can help you decide ‘Is this the place for me?’. That’s what we do.

Helpful Holidays 2007

Wherever you go for your holidays this year, we hope you have a great time but, of course, we hope you’ll choose our magnificent part of the world - the glorious West Country!

Best wishes

Moray Bowater
