One glance at us and cottage comes to mind. Embracing that first impression is the biggest part of Tom’s Cottage character. But is a classic look enough to work with a letting agency of the same name?
At face value: of course not. But Classic Cottages’ name represents their business ethos as well as the façade of their property listings. Old school yet contemporary – sounding like what they (and we) are. Echoism, that’s instantly understood.

The latter is a huge thing for us: keeping abreast of evolving legislation, plus guidance on implementation in a period house. The agent that keeps us on top of what we’re about. Assurance for guests and ourselves.
Classic Cottages’ genuine presentation of their listings is also paramount to us. No oversell with online images here, we all aim to exceed guest expectations. Then there’s the Classic professionalism during each and every holiday – checks that guests have settled in OK, plus dedicated points of contact should the unexpected occur. Integrity.
