TWO local companies have joined forces in what is being described as an ‘innovative’ partnership to provide enhanced insurance services to the self-catered holiday accommodation sector.

Cleddau Insurance and West Wales Holiday Cottages have entered into a strategic partnership to assist short-term holiday rental owners with their insurance needs.

Based on the Cardigan Bay coast, West Wales Holiday Cottages have been in business since 2005 , helping self-catered accommodation owners advertise their properties for online bookings.

West Wales Holiday Cottages Managing Director Lisa Stopher said: “We have always taken pride in the quality of our properties and our outstanding service levels and having a broker of Cleddau’s standing in such close proximity to our short-term holiday rentals will be of great comfort to our owners.

“It will also undoubtedly lead to better cover and prices, adding yet further value to our offering.”

Cleddau Insurance are specialists in the holiday let marketplace, with over thirty years’ experience.

Commercial Director Iestyn Page said: “We are delighted to be working with West Wales Holiday Cottages and look forward to providing the best possible service to their members.

“The biggest concern we have currently in the insurance market is the number of businesses that are under-insured across the UK.

“Our key message for holiday let owners is to make sure they have the sufficient cover in place for all potential risks.”
