It's a yahoo email address BUT it's addressed to

enquiries at selfcatering-aberystwyth dot co dot uk
(edited by admins so the e-mail isn't a link)

and there is a web site called that...........

It was probably sent To: selfcatering and then your email address (and probably hundreds of others) are in the bcc: field (Blind Carbon Copy).
