Spring is in the air and flowers are starting to blossom and the weather has taken a turn for the better! However, it is with a heavy heart I write this introduction. We find ourselves in truly unprecedented times with the current global outbreak of COVID 19 and the subsequent lock-down. As a business we have never faced anything like this before and as such, have been forced to adapt to a different style of working, enabling us to continue to provide the level of service that our customers expect from us. We continue to look to the future with optimism and are adapting rapidly to ensure that when the property market is able to return to whatever the new ‘normal’ is, we will be ready and on hand to help our vendors sell their property to buyers looking to find their next dream home. In the meantime, ‘We’re working from Home, so you can find your next one’. Our team of negotiators and specialist departments continue to work from home, to advise, guide and update you on current market conditions. Our website statistics tell us we have numerous people looking at our property portfolio during these difficult times. With most of the public in lockdown, people have the time to look to the future and research their next move. Perhaps it is time to start thinking about preparing to make that next move! For those looking to move soon, our instant valuation tool will generate a full valuation in seconds to allow vendors to get an idea of value. Our team may not be able to visit your property but that does not mean we cannot begin to prepare for the sales process and be ready to go when appropriate market conditions apply. We hope looking through this issue of ‘Simply South Hams’ will come as a pleasant distraction during these trying times and if nothing else a reminder of our beautiful South Hams and all it has to offer - ready to enjoy in better times!!! In the meantime, from the entire team at Marchand Petit, please stay safe and stay At Home.

Holiday letting: A changing landscape With demand for UK staycations at an all-time high, Jon Doyle, Managing Director at Salcombe and Dartmouth based Coast & Country Cottages takes a look at trends in the self-catering holiday market, and at what makes a holiday home stand out from the crowd. 2019 was a year of change with unprecedented positive results for us at Coast & Country Cottages. On a logistical level it was our first full year as part of the Sykes Cottages group, following their acquisition of our business in August 2018. This meant exciting changes for our locally based team in everything from booking software to marketing spend. In the months following the move, demand for South Devon holiday homes grew exponentially. Indeed, the 2019 season finished as record breaking for our agency, with bookings 50% up year on year! Holiday trends But what has driven this growth in bookings? Of course Brexit, the election and general uncertainty have played their part in booking figures, and the lean towards holidaying closer to home can be attributed to this in part. The change can also be related to the rise in popularity of short breaks – according to VisitBritain, the average Brit now expects to take three breaks in the UK every year! This move away from the traditional one-week summer holiday is having a positive impact on figures. There has also been a notable increase in couples holidays. Last year 41% of our bookings were from couples looking for romantic breaks. With an
increasing awareness of environmental issues, South Devon presents a desirable ‘no fly’ alternative to European holiday destinations, particularly for weekend getaways. Similarly, there has been a rise in bookings for dogfriendly cottages. In one in three UK holidays dogs now come too, with the biggest demand coming for luxury, high-end pet-friendly holiday homes. YouGov estimates that the pet dog population is now at 9.9 million, with 26% of the UK adult population owning a dog, meaning demand for dog-friendly holidays in the UK looks set to continue growing. South Devon is particularly attractive to dog owners, as the area offers miles of walking opportunities, dog-friendly eateries, beaches and attractions. Desirable holiday homes Whilst environmental, political and cultural factors are all contributing to the heightened demand we are seeing, the increase in bookings is also about how successful properties are at targeting customers. With a vast choice of holiday properties in the region, individual homes need to stand out from the crowd – something our cottages do exceptionally well. This, coupled with our fantastic regional and national marketing exposure, is providing excellent results.
FEATURE • 067
Properties currently doing best are those that take into consideration trends like the growth in the ‘couples’ and ‘dog-friendly’ market. Dogfriendly romantic retreats are booking like hot cakes! Being pet-friendly extends a property’s seasonal appeal too… very often couples with dogs look to visit at off peak times for a walking getaway or winter recharge. This is a wonderful way for owners to maximise booking potential. Equally those that appeal to a variety of customers choosing to holiday together are performing well, for instance homes for multigenerational families with multiple living areas, or properties that offer zip and link beds to provide a variety of bedding configurations. For that added something, many properties employ marketing initiatives like welcome hampers or cakes on arrival, which draw in both first time bookers and repeat customers. Those cottages with added extras like log burners, smart TVs or even hot tubs are also proving popular. In a time of changing expectations, discerning

customers expect much more than a comfy bed… it’s about creating an unforgettable overall experience that draws customers back again and again. Award-winning Coast & Country Cottages We firmly believe the service we offer both property owners and customers is a key factor in our continuing success. We now have the advantage of combining our knowledge of the local area and passion for holidays, with the marketing budget and support of a national agency - a recipe for success!

"I think more people need to reconnect with the British coast – the rare light, vivid colours, prevalent wildlife and iconic places - it’s the stuff of dreams and for me, offers an unrivalled way of life and daily inspiration." - Bert Fowler, Founder of Bert & Buoy As seen in press from Devon Life and Mollie Makes to Coast magazine and retailers from John Lewis to Galeries Lafayette - this collection of art, apparel, homeware and gifts features unique designs that are modern classics. Contemporary coastal colours, stylish sea-themed shapes and playfully pleasing patterns. Everything starts as a drawing by Bert before being applied onto handpicked materials. You won’t find anything else like it. Discover unique signed art, screen printed stationery, ceramics made in collaboration with Keith Brymer Jones Channel 4: More4 The Great Pottery Throw Down judge - lighting made in collaboration with South Hams Quirk UK and homeware including shaped character cushions, cosmetic, wash and shopper bags and luxe kitchen textiles, all made in the UK. "I really love the process of making things for Bert & Buoy whether it be art that will stay on someone's wall for years to come, character cushions to cuddle or a simple greeting card that will be sent with love on a special occasion. As an independent, it means so much more when people buy from us. It's not just supporting me and my family, but all of our makers and the wonderful people who work for us. Brands like ours make towns and villages in Devon much more interesting places to live, visit and enjoy. I encourage other designers and makers to give it a go" - Bert Fowler, Founder of Bert & Buoy.

Bert & Buoy is one to watch, as Bert takes his brand to the next level. Coming soon is the launch of a new botanicals range inspired by flora on the British coast - aptly named 'Bertanical' and the announcement of a new luxury accessories collaboration. You'll even be able to stay in a dreamy new hotel with Bert's illustrated nautical interiors. We can't wait! Experience Bert & Buoy by making a visit to their Dartmouth store. Having first launched the brand at the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta with a market stall, it felt natural for Bert to open his first physical store in this enchanting South Hams town. The store has been transformed from a fish mongers and designed by Bert with local craftsmen using locally reclaimed materials and re-purposed boat parts to create interesting new counters and displays. Take a step inside, take home a modern classic. www.bertandbuoy.com #nauticalniceness
