The Ellis family care deeply about the places in which our homes are located and the communities around them.
Our properties are cherished family homes and they are managed thoughtfully and responsibly, with due regard to local amenity, residential character and relevant planning controls. We are keen that our homes are used in a way that is respectful of their settings and of the people who live nearby.
When we are not using our homes ourselves, we make them available for carefully managed holiday stays. Our aim in doing so is to ensure that the properties are not left empty but instead make a positive contribution to the local economy and community.
We encourage our guests to support local pubs, shops, cafés, restaurants, activity providers and services. To assist with this, we provide a “Things to do” / “Plan your stay” guide for each property, which simply offers information and recommendations about the local area. These recommendations are provided for guidance only and do not involve the provision, organisation or management of any services by us.
In addition, a proportion of the income generated from holiday stays is donated to local charitable and community organisations connected with the areas in which our homes are located.
We believe that, when managed responsibly, holiday homes can play a constructive role in sustaining local communities and we are committed to operating our homes in that spirit.
