Do you own a holiday home?

Owners don’t have to specify a week because we can keep an eye on the availability online, where possible, and ask to borrow it when we see it is free.  If it’s not convenient, you can always say ‘no!’ and whilst you donate the week rent free, we cover the cost of housekeeping so you have no additional out-of-pocket expenses. As Homes with Heart is a family-run affair, we can pick up messages in the evenings and weekends so we really can make sure that owners and families have that personal service.

If you want to know more, call Jane on 01372 842751 and talk things through. Alternatively, you can complete and return the Property Submission Form, either by post or by email, and we'll gladly welcome you to this unique scheme. There are over 100,000 holiday homes in the UK so lets leave charities to concentrate on fundraising for other things and we can step in to help with holidays.

"We recently bought a holiday home in Cornwall for investment. I was introduced to Homes with Heart by our letting agent. I liked the idea of giving a holiday to a family who really needed a break. Having had serious illnesses in our own family, I realised that the last thing you save your pennies for is a holiday and this I could do at no real cost to ourselves.
My husband was quite wary of the whole idea.

If they were the sort of people who couldn’t afford a holiday, would they look after our much-loved holiday home? I persuaded him to give it a go and we need not have worried. Nicola and her family left our cottage in perfect order and paid for our cleaner on top. They obviously had a very much needed holiday and that just leaves me with a warm feeling.

To anyone thinking of lending their holiday home to Homes with Heart, I can only say “Go ahead and give someone a break…"
