If you see a property that you are interested in, take time to look at the rating and the property listing to make sure it will meet your requirements and expectations.

All the properties are individually owned so ratings for each property can vary as there are so many contributing factors involved in awarding a category. These include, but are not limited to, the age and size of the property, location, additional space such as a garden or decking, views, plus any additional extras the owner wishes to include in the rental.

Pearl, Platinum Deluxe, Platinum
Pearl often reflects the higher range, bespoke properties that offer something a little different, along with the Platinum and Platinum Deluxe.

Diamond Plus
Diamond Plus is a higher-than-average rating offering a good level of comfort and standard.

Diamond, Ruby
Diamond and Ruby are mid-range properties that offer a basic level of accommodation, they tend to be older properties that have additional heating provisions as well as the standard gas or electric fire in the lounge.

Emerald, Sapphire, Topaz
Properties rated Emerald and below are older style properties, often with no additional heating or facilities within the property. They are budget-friendly, offering great value for money, and prove hugely popular with families. Due to their age, they may show signs of wear and tear and historical maintenance due to being much loved and enjoyed over the years.

We welcome well-behaved dogs in our dog-friendly properties. However, it is with regret that we do not allow other family pets such as cats, rabbits, gerbils, birds, etc. Before bringing your dog on holiday, please take a moment to read the following guidelines.

  • Each owner will specify the number of dogs they will allow, so please refer to the Additional Property Information section on the listing for details specific to your accommodation.
  • A dog fee of £30 per dog is payable prior to travel.
  • Full responsibility of the dog lies with the hirer, and this includes damage, causing a nuisance, clearing up after the dog and any third-party liability situations.
  • Dogs are not allowed on the beds or furniture, under any circumstances.
  • Dogs should not be left unattended in accommodation as they can cause damage or injure themselves.  They should never be left in caravans during hot weather as the temperatures can rise very quickly, in much the same way as a car interior.
  • If your accommodation is on a Holiday Park, dogs must always be kept on leads whilst outside of the property.

Banned dog breeds such as the Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and Fila Brasileiro are not permitted in any holiday accommodation. PLEASE NOTE: From 1 February 2024 it will be a criminal offence to own an XL Bully in England and Wales so this breed will also not be permitted.

Dogs being permitted to stay in the holiday home is at the owners discretion, we cannot guarantee non-dog friendly properties have not had dogs in at some point.

All properties are self check-in via a key safe system, which means you can go straight to the property after your allocated arrival time. The key safe code will be sent to you via email a week before your arrival, this email also contains everything you need to know about the check in process, the property address, and a comprehensive property manual so you can have a comfortable stay. We will also sent you a text a few days before you travel, as a reminder.

We strongly advise, where possible, to arrive between the standard check in time of 4pm – 7pm so we are available to support you if needed during your self check-in.

Navigating to your accommodation in the dark, especially if you are staying on a holiday park, can take a little longer if you are unfamiliar with the area. We would urge you to familiarise yourself with your arrival information, the area and location of your accommodation before traveling.

We do not encourage guests arriving in the early hours on a family holiday site and potentially causing disruption to other guests.

Please note if you plan to arrive later than 7pm there will be no additional support so please make sure you have received your arrival information at least the day before you are due to travel.

The amenities offered may vary depending on the property. Please refer to the property listing to determine the available services, as they are subject to availability.

  • Are the beds made up or should I bring my own linen? The majority of holiday accommodation comes supplied with duvets and pillows as standard but no linen or towels are provided, unless specified in the property listing that it is included. Some properties offer a bed linen package at £60, this package does not include towels
  • Will there be washing up liquid and toilet roll supplied? As the accommodation is self-catering we do not provide any cleaning items so we advise that you take your essentials, such as washing up liquid, tea towels, dish clothes, toilet rolls and bin bags, should you not want to purchase them whilst you are away.

Parking provisions will vary depending on the property and its location. The parking information can be found under Additional Property Information in the property listing. If the accommodation is sited on a holiday park, please adhere to the park rules regarding parking in designated areas only and do not park on grass verges.

Unfortunately, it is not permitted to charge electric vehicles at any of the holiday properties.

Holiday parks have strict rules against charging electric vehicles whilst on stay, this is due to the electrical systems not being equipped to handle the high voltage required to charge an electric car battery.

We are unable to advise of where the nearest electric car charging station is, therefore, please do check this prior to booking.

Unfortunately, when the sun comes out, so do the insects. Ants can be a common invader in homes, cottages, lodges and caravans. No-one is immune, and ants do not discriminate! There are a few things that you can do to keep your holiday from being interrupted by these uninvited guests.

1)      Ensure all food is kept in a sealed container, or safely put away. Food will attract one ant, and that ant will attract others.

2)      Keep surfaces clean – clean dirty dishes quickly, wipe down common surfaces

3)      Disrupt the ant trail – try to identify the route they are taking and disrupt it. You can do this with ant spray or powder, talcum powder or a mix of vinegar and water.

There is little that we as a company can do for ants, so we suggest that when you are packing for your self-catering holiday, you include ant powder, spray or a natural remedy – whatever you feel is suitable for you and your guests, just in case.

Neither 2cHolidays or the owner, is liable or responsible for the removal or treatment of ants in a holiday home. As such, we are not able to accept claims for refunds or compensation should they be present in your holiday home.

Please refer to the property listing regarding the provision of Wifi.  Many owners include Wi-Fi as an amenity included in the booking cost. However the service, speed and availability will vary depending on the property and its location.

For properties sited on holiday parks it may be possible to purchase this service from the park direct. Please note not all parks will offer this service to private let guests so we would recommend you check with them directly if Wi-Fi is an integral part of your stay.

How will the park know of my arrival? How will I get my keys?

You will receive a welcome letter explaining the check in and key collection process. We operate a key safe system, which means you will not need to queue to collect the key. The code for the keysafe will be sent to you via email a week before your arrival, with full holiday home details included, and again by text a couple of days before you arrive.

Some parks require guests to register their details prior to the arrival date. Where this is needed, we will contact you prior to arrival to get the information and pass it to the park on your behalf.

What about the park passes? Where would I get these from?

Sadly, we are not able to provide these for you and they are NOT included in the price of the holiday. Facilities and services on parks often operate seasonally and are subject to availability. Please note not all facilities and services are available for private let guests. Please check directly with the park for the latest information on the services they provide.

How do I receive my loyalty card? Is this different to the £50 voucher at the end of the holiday?

You can download your loyalty card from the 2cHolidays website. Every time you book with us, you can tick a box. Once all 10 boxes are ticked you will qualify for a free 3 or 4 night off peak stay in one of our selected holiday homes. You can also tick a box when you recommend us to friends and family, and they complete a stay with us.

The £50 voucher is emailed to you following your stay, to say thank you for leaving the holiday home in good order.

How will I get my £50 voucher?

This voucher code can be used with any of our Holiday homes all  year-round (subject to availability and at the discretion of 2cHolidays) for a 3-night minimum stay. Use the discount code at the booking stage to apply the discount. Please note, this code can only be used for a stay of 3 nights or more and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or discount code.
