It's widely known that North Wales is one of the UK's most popular staycation destinations, with endless holiday accommodation options on offer. Ancient castles, endless beaches and towering mountain peaks are just some of the reasons people choose to visit North Wales, but brothers Jack and William Matthews are taking the holiday experience a notch higher. 

The duo, who are born and raised Ynys Môn natives, have recently launched a holiday letting company that prioritises owner happiness and guest enjoyment above all else. Oyster Holiday Cottages, which is based in Benllech, Anglesey, offers an unrivalled experience. Using in-depth local knowledge and strong supplier relationships, the brothers are adding complimentary concierge services to every booking.

One-half of the founding team, William, states that the idea evolved from their extensive backgrounds in the holiday lettings industry, along with their own experiences of trips near and far. “Rather than wasting half their holiday deciding what to do - guests can call on us to curate a relaxed and enjoyable itinerary for their stay, enabling them to experience North Wales at its very best. As locals, we know all the great spots and the people who can take you there. Not only do our guests have a great time, but local businesses, suppliers and producers are celebrated in the process. So far, it's been a roaring success and we're very excited to see what the future holds.” 

The brothers have been actively showcasing the best local businesses in candid interview-style snippets across their social media accounts. Not only does this give their followers and guests some inspiration for their next North Wales visit, but it also highlights the efforts of small, local and often family-run businesses.  

The concierge service, which is offered alongside their rapidly expanding portfolio of holiday properties throughout North Wales, ultimately gives guests free rein when it comes to adding extras to their trip. William goes on to add “We've already arranged everything from ultra-exclusive sports car hire directly from the cottage to remote and romantic mountain picnics. Guests can enjoy a pizza masterclass in the comfort of their kitchen, or a yoga class on a secluded beach at sunrise. North Wales is such a captivating and diverse destination and any adventure is possible, either high-octane or super relaxed. We want to be the ones to provide those adventures alongside truly exceptional accommodation.”

Quickly becoming the fastest-growing tourism company in North Wales, Oyster Holiday Cottages will be turning 1 in April of this year. To celebrate, the brothers plan to run an exciting giveaway for a three-night stay in their luxury property, The Outbuildings, for 14 guests. The lucky winner and their guests will also enjoy being cooked for by a private chef for an evening and take a Rib Ride along the Menai Strait. The competition will be launched in early March, with the winner announced in celebration of their anniversary on the 17th of April.
