Norfolk based Original Cottages (www.originalcottages.co.uk), one of the country’s largest family run holiday cottage companies, has launched its first ever TV advertising campaign and chose Newquay in Cornwall for its filming location.
Original Cottages filmed the advert at Red Rails, one of its holiday cottages in Cornwall. The property’s position overlooking Newquay beach provides a stunning backdrop for telling a story of the opportunities a holiday home holiday offers.
