Promotional feature: Holidaycottages.co.uk expand their Derbyshire portfolio
Those who live in Derbyshire are well aware of its virtues; in fact, Derby was recently named one of the top three happiest cities in the UK. The county, often referred to as the gateway to the Peak District National Park, hasn’t slipped the attention of tourists either.
The Peak District alone welcomes over 8 million visitors a year, spending a combined total of around £356 million. The rural landscapes are a major draw for tourists, looking to enjoy some fresh air and the unspoilt beauty. It appeals to a wide range of people, with interests varying from walking and horse riding to more extreme pursuits such as caving and white water rafting.
James Morris, Managing Director of independent self-catering cottage agency Holidaycottages.co.uk, explains why the company are keen to broaden their portfolio in the area: “The future of tourism in Derbyshire is looking extremely positive and with large numbers of tourists comes an increased demand for quality accommodation. We’re looking forward to partnering with Derbyshire holiday cottage owners to meet this demand”.

They have a team of over 90 staff, including Regional Managers dotted across the country, ensuring that customers and owners receive a personal service from people who really know the area.
Debbie Mckenzie, Reservations Consultant said: “We are all delighted to have received a Gold Trusted Merchant Award from independent review company, Feefo, with a fantastic overall rating of 98% for customer service. We are often asked for by name, and our friendly and professional approach has helped us to build up an extensive base of returning customers. 180,000 people booked their holiday through us in 2013.”
The company are confident in the future of tourism in Derbyshire and are looking forward to offering customers a selection of high standard self-catering properties.
