Exceptional luxury holiday home management on the north Cornish coast

John Bray Cornish Holidays (JBCH) is proud to have over 50 years’ experience looking after more than 350 of the finest holiday homes in North Cornwall. Operating from offices in Rock and Port Isaac, bespoke property management packages are offered to the region’s holiday home owners, taking in Polzeath, Daymer Bay, Padstow and beyond.

A first-class, hands-on service comes as standard from the dedicated local team, with owners benefiting from the eight-figure marketing budget and resources of sister company, Sykes Cottages. This brings a ‘best of both worlds’ option to property owners, who can relax safe in the knowledge their property is being expertly cared for 24/7. JBCH is now doing this for even more exclusive North Cornwall holiday homes, expanding their property portfolio to meet sustained customer demand.

Hosting an estimated 30,000 guests for a luxury Cornish holiday last year, during peak summer holiday weeks, the business saw occupancy rates of over 95%. This trend continued into the autumn with an impressive occupancy rate of over 80% throughout September and during October half term. Bookings continue to be strong for 2023, with occupancy already up 3% on last year, despite the recent cost of living pressures.

An example of which is The Old Coastguard Lookout which has secured 39 bookings for 2023 already.

Situated in Port Isaac, this is a stunning cliff top property accommodating six people (plus a dog) in luxurious, spacious accommodation. It’s the same success story with The Farmhouse in Delabole. A very desirable bolthole for eight people, it has secured 30 bookings for the coming year. It’s ideal for a family or group of friends looking to relax in peaceful rural surroundings, and comes complete with a hot tub, beautiful gardens and a lake. www.johnbraycornishholidays.co.uk

New trends have begun to come to light, with a significant growth in demand for short breaks – over 20% of JBCH’s bookings are now for three, four or five-night holidays. Similarly, last minute bookings are the new normal. During summer 2022 they saw a 76% increase in bookings made within 14 days of the holiday arrival date!
