Riverside and lakeside holiday cottages
From tranquil escapes on the banks of the River Fowey to lochside cottages in Scotland, there’s something rather lovely about a getaway by the water. Feel your stresses and strains fade away with your waterside stay, best spent soaking up the glorious views, watching the local wildlife, indulging in sun-drenched waterside picnics, and kayaking or paddle boarding along the glassy water. Sounds just perfect, doesn’t it?

We’ve been raising the standards of self catering holidays since 1977.
Our family ethos
Tony and Clare Tregoning started the business back in 1977 and their dedication to quality and excellence is at the heart of everything we do. Tony is sadly no longer with us, but we still adhere to their original ethos of finding holiday homes we would like to stay in and have slowly grown the company to find the best picks of properties across the counties. Plus Clare still drops in to keep us on our toes.
As an independent, family-run company, we wouldn’t expect you to stay anywhere we wouldn’t want to stay ourselves. And we’re pretty picky. We want you to walk into your handpicked holiday home and say ‘wow’, sit back and relax.
