Holiday Ideas

Under the Thatch - unique, sustainable and authentic

Under the Thatch provides amazing holiday homes across Europe - simply gorgeous places to stay that stand out from the crowd. We rent out fabulous, quirky places to stay and put profits into historic building rescue projects across the continent. We’re currently working in Malopolska (Poland), Andalucia (Spain), Ceredigion (Wales) and Donegal (Ireland), but our next project could be anywhere in the world that we find an amazing building in a wonderful location.

We aim to provide exceptional self-catering holiday experiences in every sector of the holiday market – from top-end luxury to tiny rustic cottages and cabins. We’re particularly well known for providing historic and unique properties and enjoy some of the highest occupancy rates in the industry. If you’re looking for modern rustic interiors then you’ve found their natural home Under the Thatch.

If you have a property that you may be interested in letting with us, contact us.

Company History

Under the Thatch was establish in 2001 to find a viable end-user for an old thatched cottage that we rescued from collapse in West Wales. The success of this first project soon led to the next and before long we had snowballed into a company specialising in authentic conservation work in Wales, the Republic of Ireland, Span, Poland etc. In 2005 we took on our first 'agency' cottage and since then this side of the business has grown whenever we have found owners that share our ethos, and have properties that stand out from the crowd. Our portfolio now includes a mixture of our own restoration projects and similarly gorgeous properties that are owned by others and advertised under our brand.
