AN Earby holiday firm has been nominated for one of the travel industry’s top awards.

The UK’s largest cottage holiday website, cottages.com, which is based at Stoney Bank Road in Earby, has been nominated for a British Travel Award (BTA), one of the highest accolades for UK holiday companies.

The nomination for Best UK Holiday Cottage / Self Catering Holiday Booking Company comes hot on the heels of three record breaking milestones for the company, including the highest number of bookings ever recorded for UK holiday properties this August bank holiday.

Further milestone successes include a record number of new properties signing up to the cottages.com portfolio, with over 2,000 additional properties recruited this year.

The company is also celebrating a record number of its existing property owners receiving Customer Choice awards, recognising UK holiday properties with the best customer feedback scores and excellence in quality and service.

Simon Law at cottages.com said: “We are immensely proud of our team and network of property owners, with whom we work in partnership. 2017 has been a fantastic year for UK tourism and that is particularly evident by the fact that cottages.com booked more holiday properties this bank holiday than ever before. Our British Travel Award nomination is the icing on the cake and a fantastic achievement to be recognised by our customers in this way.”

The winners for the British Travel Awards will be announced at a ceremony in London on November 29.
