When the holiday rental world is filled with the likes of booking.com and Airbnb, why should you book through a local agency when trying to find the perfect holiday cottages in South Devon? There is no denying the success of these companies in the travel and leisure industry. But let’s think about the benefits of booking local for a second. These companies are global and with that you lose the personability and area knowledge that local letting agencies can offer. With booking local, you can be sure to gain more than just holiday cottages in South Devon from your host. And what is better than gaining a little extra from your booking from the price you pay.
GETTING MORE FROM YOUR BOOKING
When booking local you are getting more than just beautiful holiday cottages in South Devon, you get area knowledge. Local letting agencies are run by local people, living in the area. They are people who have lived there for a while or may have even grown up there. With that comes some great area knowledge and this is sure the case with Your Devon Escape.
Our team are either born and raised in the area or have lived in South Devon for over a decade. This guarantees that our local knowledge will is greater and more unique than a national company or website such as booking.com or Airbnb. Ask us questions before, during and after the booking process for recommendations in the local area. You can gain insider knowledge about places to go and things to not miss.
24/7 SUPPORT
Local agencies are just naturally smaller than the big national companies. With this you automatically gain more hands-on, personal support. You are guaranteed to reach a real person contacting the agency rather than an automated machine, chatbot or no response at all. When you book direct through a local company, the host can call, text, or email you directly with any questions, explanations, or recommendations. And this is the sure case with Your Devon Escape.
Our employees are not just knowledgeable about the local area and the needs of their guests. They also know their properties inside and out from regular visits. The team is always nearby if something unavoidable happens during your stay. In-person help is readily available from one of our team or maintenance.
