Luxury Holiday Lets

For a holiday with the wow-factor, staying in one of the South West’s sensational holiday homes is hard to beat.

The South West, and Cornwall in particular, is home to many of the UK’s best examples of unique and spectacular properties including characterful houses with real personality.
From modern architecture worthy of grand designs to traditional fishermen’s cottages with the best views in the village, contemporary and open-plan interiors to cosy nooks and indulgent home comforts, the concept of ‘luxury’ can mean lots of different things to lots of different holidaymakers.

Property owners can incorporate the finishing touches and interior design that make a big impression on guests and ensure their property stands out to potential bookers:

• Quality fixtures and fittings with style and substance are essential, especially in the bathroom and kitchens. Top of the range taps, as well as matching crockery and cutlery sets are a must. Consider investing in one or two key pieces of furniture to make a statement and ensure all bed frames are of a high quality.

• When choosing your décor, play to your property’s strengths, but note that an overriding theme is not necessary. If in doubt, choose a simple and understated scheme that is carefully coordinated throughout – the perfect way to create a tranquil and luxurious backdrop to a holiday. In doing so ensure this is complimented in the choice of matching bed linens and towels.

• Go the extra mile for guests from the moment they arrive. Offering a welcome pack can provide a brilliant first impression with little investment required. Consider including a couple of examples of local produce and a bottle of wine so your guests can start their holiday in style.

• Hot tubs are incredibly popular among holidaymakers and are regularly a key factor in searches for accommodation online. Whilst installing one will require an initial investment, it’s one that has the potential to bring big rewards.
