We believe that one-to-one service from a small, local team is a far better option than the anonymity and bureaucracy of a large agency.
We get it. We have holiday homes of our own and know what it takes to run these micro-businesses. We also have first-hand professional experience of different agencies and know what works, what doesn’t, and what’s missing. And we know the local area inside out.

Who we are
We’re brothers William and Jack Matthews, and we run Oyster Holiday Cottages. Between us, we’ve spent more than 25 years in holiday lettings, starting at a family-run agency before Jack became a regional director at one of the UK’s largest firms.
We have holiday cottages of our own, so we understand the business from both sides: as owners and as agents.
Our local knowledge, industry experience and hands-on approach are matched by a simple promise: we’re easy to reach and here when you need us. We aim to offer a complete service and build success through steady repeat bookings, striving to be the best holiday home letting agency we can be and to give owners and their guests outstanding experiences.
