Helpful Holidays has been a family business since 1982, a partnership of Su and Euan Bowater and now have an excellent team of 29 who administer and inspect (see star ratings). Based in Chagford within the Dartmoor National Park, they are at the heart of the West Country and know it and the cottages they let very well.

 

They all visit the properties regularly and will tell you exactly what they think of them when you phone to ask. They only choose the properties which they think have merit and offer you an excellent chance of a very happy holiday and if their existing customers didn't agree such a huge majority of bookings every year would not come from them, their friends, relatives and work colleagues.

 

A recurring theme in the questionnaires people kindly return to them after their holidays reflect how 'helpful' their owners are - and their staff.

 

Approximately 95% of questionnaires express great delight.
