Season’s Greetings from Reliance Retreats! 🎄🎅

Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the land, inboxes grew quieter, and phones were unmanned. Except, of course, in the hospitality industry, where it feels like Santa swapped his sleigh for my email server.

While many of you are winding down with mulled wine in hand and “Last Christmas” on repeat, I’m navigating a bulging inbox and a phone battery that just can’t keep up. It must be either summer or Christmas in hospitality!

A Year of Reflection and Celebration

Looking back on 2024, I’m filled with pride and a sprinkle of festive cheer. Starting with South Devonshire Holidays and Devon Holidays, we built these ventures from scratch—learning as we went, like elves perfecting toys in Santa’s workshop. 🎁

What a bumper year 2024 it’s been! We didn’t just meet our growth targets; we sleighed them (pun very much intended). As we bid farewell to South Devonshire Holidays, a new chapter began: Reliance Retreats.

With Reliance Retreats, we’ve gone global, offering everything we perfected in Devon to the world. Discussions are already hopping (like Dasher and Dancer) with a few properties in France and the Cotswolds, proving we started this new journey with a sprint.

Looking Ahead

2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year, full of opportunities and new challenges. But first, we need to get through the rest of 2024— one mince pie and booking at a time!

Wishing You a Holly Jolly Christmas

To all our amazing holiday owners and your loved ones: thank you for your trust, partnership, and patience this year. You’ve made 2024 truly magical.

May your holidays be merry, your wine glasses full, and your turkeys cooked to perfection (or at least not burnt)! From the entire team at Reliance Retreats, we wish you a Christmas season as joyful as a child on Christmas morning and a 2025 filled with success and happiness.

🎅✨ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

With warmest wishes,
The Reliance Retreats Team
