20<strong>16</strong> promises great success for Marsdens Devon Cottages, the North Devon based holiday letting agency. For over 40 years, it has<br />
proudly delivered the highest standards of service to both its homeowners and holiday makers for its portfolio of over 350 VisitEngland<br />
graded holiday cottages throughout North Devon and Exmoor. Last month, it not only achieved outstanding booking levels but<br />
expanded its portfolio further to now include properties in Dartmoor, Torbay and South Devon.<br />
Excellent bookings from comprehensive marketing<br />
Letting through an experienced agent is the best way to achieve the<br />
highest possible booking levels, and Marsdens Devon Cottages’<br />
booking record is outstanding. Many properties in the best locations<br />
achieve strong bookings throughout the year and the agency enjoys<br />
a returning guest rate of over 40%, compared with the industry<br />
standard of 28%.<br />
“There is always demand for high-quality accommodation, and<br />
Devon is a world-class destination attracting visitors from across<br />
the UK and beyond. It’s a testament to the quality of our properties<br />
and the hard work of our local team that so many visitors keep<br />
rebooking with us year after year” said Oliver McCarron, Business<br />
Development Manager at Marsdens Devon Cottages.<br />
Marsdens prides itself on promoting its ever growing portfolio of<br />
holiday properties through high ranking websites, regular direct mail<br />
and email campaigns to its huge database of guests and enquirers,<br />
and its attendance at national, regional and local shows and events.<br />
As more and more holidays are now booked online, Marsdens<br />
Devon Cottages invests heavily in online marketing and social<br />
media. It recently relaunched its website with a new look to not<br />
only improve its users’ experience but also to ensure greater<br />
compatibility with devices such as tablets and smart phones and to<br />
maintain high rankings on internet search engines.<br />
But for those that still wish to telephone, Marsdens Devon Cottages’<br />
booking lines now offer longer opening hours to take calls from<br />
potential holiday makers late in the evening and over the weekends.<br />
Building on Success<br />
Marsdens Devon Cottages is always looking to expand its portfolio<br />
of VisitEngland graded self-catering properties it can offer its<br />
holiday makers in Devon and Exmoor.<br />
“We offer competitive commission rates for a bespoke professional<br />
service and high levels of bookings” said Oliver “If you have a<br />
property you feel would make a fantastic holiday home, please don’t<br />
hesitate to get in touch. The Marsdens property team is happy to<br />
provide a free, no obligation quotation”<br />
