Our Story
Wellies & Windbreaks is a small, independent holiday lettings agency led by Amanda and her exceptional team. We cherish all that is special about getting away for some fresh seaside air with friends and family. Whether you are looking for a large property for an extended family celebration or something on the beach for a group of friends; a weekend escape with the dog for some bracing coastal walks or a cosy cottage to retreat to for a romantic weekend, our aim is to ensure you find the perfect holiday home.
Our Approach
Focussing on the highest level of customer service for both our guests and our homeowners is our primary motivation. With a small portfolio of holiday homes, our professionalism and commitment to high standards, attention to detail and level of service and support goes above and beyond that which most other agencies can or choose to offer. Combined with our extensive knowledge of the local area, good network of supportive trades and the fact that we know each and every one of our properties inside out sets us apart from the local competition.
Actually, being able to talk to someone when you are trying to plan a holiday or manage your holiday home is a rare but much appreciated luxury in today’s digital age. We are always on the end of the phone or ready to respond to an email if you have questions. We love nothing more than sharing our top tips and should guests ever have an issue or concern during their stay we are always available to pop around with a smiley face to resolve any niggles.
Our ethos is very much centred around valuing loyalty and building relationships. Many of our guests have been returning to our properties for years and it is this level of customer satisfaction which we strive to achieve. Fabulous reviews, recommendations to friends and family and repeat visits is what gets us out of bed in the morning. We will do whatever we can to help you plan your holiday and ensure you have a wonderful stay.
Who We Are
Meet Amanda
Wellies & Windbreaks was born and grew from a love of holidaying in the Witterings. Playing hide and seek in the dunes at East Head with my children; eating sandy picnics on the beach; paddle-boarding with my dogs; and watching the kite surfers at sunset with my husband and a cold beer in hand, are just a few of my favourite things. It all began when our daughter was first born and we regularly escaped to the coast for a break from London. Three children later and a career compromised by the juggles of parenting, I decided to make some changes. Whilst on maternity leave with my third child I began to manage a family members holiday property then, when a well-timed opportunity to manage a friend’s holiday home arose, I took the plunge and established Wellies & Windbreaks in April 2015.
The company has grown into a well-respected local business with a portfolio of beautiful, high-quality holiday homes and a long list of repeat guests who love the area as much as I do.

Fantastic weekend at Lubbers
I cannot recommend Lubbers more. It was perfectly clean when we arrived and the customer service and communication in the lead up to our weekend was faultless. I’d come back and would highly recommend staying at Lubbers!
