For the fourth year running, a local holiday home company has been nominated for a British Travel Award.

South Hams-based Coast and Country Cottages has been nominated for the Best UK Holiday Cottage / Self-Catering Booking Company.

Winners are determined by the public, who have until Saturday, September 30 to cast their vote, with the successful companies announced at the BTA Gala Awards dinner, being held in London on November 29.

Coast and Country Cottages has previously won three consecutive British Travel Awards, receiving accolades in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Run by Andrew and Karen Jones, the locally-based company markets around 400 self catering holiday cottages exclusively in Salcombe, Dartmouth and the surrounding South Devon countryside.

Andrew Jones, Coast and Country Cottages director, said: “We are delighted to be, once again, nominated in these prestigious awards. As a small, family run business with around 45 employees, this means so much to us all.

“Our third consecutive win last year was due to the commitment, hard work and dedication of our fantastic team and we would like to thank them all, plus our loyal property owners and the customers who return to stay with us in this beautiful area, year after year. We hope that our many satisfied customers will choose to vote for us in the 2017 British Travel Awards over the coming weeks and thank them all in advance for their continued support.”

BTA chief executive Lorraine Barnes Burton said: “The British Travel Awards give you the opportunity to reward travel and tourism enterprises for outstanding performance in service delivery and product offering.

“Voting in the 2017 Awards is now open and nominated companies have until Saturday, September 30 to lobby their happy customers for votes – good luck to Coast and Country Cottages.”
