Our gift vouchers let you choose any amount, and the lucky recipient can put it towards a stay in any of our 250+ handpicked holiday cottages across Exmoor, from harbourside retreats in Porlock Weir to remote farmhouses on the open moor.

3. What Can They Book?
Your gift voucher is valid across our entire collection of over 250 holiday cottages on Exmoor and the surrounding area. That means the recipient gets to choose exactly the kind of break they want:
- Romantic retreats for two — cosy boltholes in Lynmouth, Dulverton, and Porlock Weir
- Family cottages — spacious homes sleeping 6, 8, or even 10+ in villages like Dunster and Minehead
- Dog-friendly stays — most of our cottages welcome well-behaved dogs
- Remote escapes — off-grid farmhouses and barn conversions on the open moor
- Coastal hideaways — harbour-front cottages with sea views along the Exmoor coast
The voucher can be used towards any booking — whether it covers the full stay or just a contribution towards a larger holiday. If the stay costs more than the voucher value, the guest simply pays the difference.

4. Gift Voucher Ideas by Budget
Not sure how much to give? Here’s a guide to help you choose the right amount:
| Amount | What It Could Cover | Perfect For |
|---|---|---|
| £50 – £100 | A contribution towards a short break | Thank-you gifts, stocking fillers, teachers |
| £150 – £250 | A weekend for two in a cosy cottage | Birthdays, anniversaries, couples |
| £300 – £500 | A midweek or full-week stay | Milestone birthdays, retirement, Christmas |
| £500+ | A week in a larger family cottage | Family holidays, group gifts, special occasions |
Remember, there’s no set denomination — you can choose any amount that suits you. And if several people want to chip in together, multiple vouchers can be used towards the same booking.
5. Holiday Gift Vouchers — A Growing Trend
We’re not alone in offering gift vouchers — holiday experiences have become one of the most popular gifts across the UK and beyond. Here’s how some of the best-known names in travel are doing it:
- Airbnb — offers gift cards from £25 to £2,000 with no expiry date, redeemable for stays and experiences worldwide
- Canopy & Stars (Sawday’s) — glamping gift cards for treehouses, yurts, and cabins. Bookings must be made within 12 months, but the stay itself can be later
- Premier Cottages — vouchers up to £1,000 with an impressive 36-month validity — one of the longest in the industry
- National Trust — gift cards from £10 to £500, usable for holiday cottages, cafes, shops, and admission
- Coolstays — instant email delivery, no minimum, valid for 2 years across 3,000+ unique properties
- Duchy of Cornwall Holiday Cottages — premium heritage vouchers with a 3-year validity, covering restored Cornish properties
The trend is clear: people are choosing experiences over things. A holiday gift voucher gives someone the freedom to plan their own perfect break — and the anticipation of a trip is part of the joy.
“The greatest gift is not found in a shop, but in the moments we share in the places we love.”
