Cottages

The map view is the best bit, you can see how far everything is from the beach at a glance. Booked a little cottage in Cornwall for a long weekend with my boyfriend. Checked in no problem and the place was cute, with a proper fire. Would definitely use it again for a trip.

I have to say the cottage was not quite as pictured online, the garden was much smaller and the hot tub was out of use for our entire stay. I did message the site and it took three days to get a reply. Refund on the hot tub was dealt with eventually. Not a holiday I would repeat.

Booked a flat in Brighton for a weekend with my mates. Easy to use on my phone and the place was exactly what we wanted, close to the seafront. Got a bit of a laugh out of the photos of the sofa.

Compared to a few other holiday rental sites, I found this one about the same on price for a cottage in the Scottish Borders. The search was easy to use and the listing was detailed about the heating and broadband. Small annoyance was that the cleaning fee came through as an extra line later on. The stay itself was comfortable and quiet, good for walking. Would book again.

We needed a large quiet place in the Peak District for a family reunion, with room for everyone and no neighbours too close. The search helped narrow it down to a few properties with enough bedrooms. Booking was straightforward and the cottage was ideal for our group. Staff were polite on the phone when I had a question. Very happy with the stay.

Paid around the same as I would have for a static caravan, but got a proper two bedroom cottage with a dishwasher and a driveway. Checked the total against the owner's own site and this was a few quid less once the fees were added, so that was the deciding factor for us. Check-in was straightforward and the owner answered one question within the hour. Good for a budget family break.

We needed a dog friendly place for our yearly trip to the Cornish coast, and this is where we always look first. Booking was quick, though the site layout has changed and I had to hunt for the pet fee. The cottage was clean and had a proper garden for the dog to run around. Prices have crept up a bit since last year. Still a good choice.

We booked a lodge near Keswick for three nights to mark our anniversary. What we paid worked out well against the hotel prices we looked at, and the cancellation terms were spelled out plainly before we confirmed. The lodge was clean, the heating worked and the parking was right outside the door. Good value for what you get, and we'll be back.

I booked a cottage in Northumberland for a long weekend, my first time using a site like this. The booking confirmation and the owner's welcome message came through straight away. The house was just as described with a wood burner and a view over the fields. Really easy to message the owner about arriving late. Will definitely use them again.

We needed somewhere in the Lake District with a few days notice because our plans changed, so I was on my phone in the car looking for something that had availability. Found a cottage that was free and booked it quickly. The check-in instructions came through the day before which was useful. Cottage was clean and warm, a bit of a walk to the pub though. Would use them again.

The map view was the best bit, I could see exactly where the cottage was relative to the beach. Booked on the way to work and it was done in minutes. Stay was great, nice and close to the coast path. Would use again.

Booked a lodge in the Brecon Beacons on my phone during my lunch break, and the hot tub was the main reason I picked it. The booking took about two minutes and the owner messaged the directions straight away. Place was clean, warm and had a decent sized deck for the evenings. Would definitely book again.

Compared with the hotel chains I usually stay in, this felt a lot more like a proper home for a week. The check-in process was simple and the cottage had a proper fireplace and good wifi. Only small gripe was the parking space being a bit tight for a big car. Would happily book again for a walking holiday.

We needed somewhere close to the hospital for my dad's appointments in Edinburgh, so a short stay with easy parking was the priority. Found a flat style cottage nearby and the booking was simple. The only annoying bit was that the cleaning fee was not shown until the last page. Otherwise the place was warm and comfy and made the days much easier. Would use them again.

Compared to booking direct with the owner on their own website it was a bit cheaper once the fees were in, which surprised me. The listing was clear about what was included. The only niggle was the deposit being taken earlier than I expected. Stay itself was fine, the kitchen had everything we needed for a few nights in Devon. Would book this way again.

Took me about twenty minutes on my phone in the queue at the shops, which is not what I expected from a holiday site. The cottage in Dorset was fine once we got there, a bit dated but clean and the beds were comfy. The bit I got stuck on was the payment, it kept timing out and I had to start again. Sorted it in the end though and the confirmation email came through quickly.

Sorted it on my phone in about ten minutes, the search works well and the dates were clear. Booked a cottage in the Dales for four nights with the family. Check in was easy and the owner left a welcome note. Would book this place again.

I was a bit sceptical as a first time user, but this beat the caravan site we usually go to for the same money. Booking took a few minutes and the owner got back to me the same day. The cottage in Pembrokeshire was spotless and had a proper shower. Happy to go back.

Best of the sites we looked at for a week in the Cotswolds, the filters actually worked and the photos matched the place. Booked in a few minutes and the stay was spot on. Would book here again without a second thought.

We booked a cottage near Whitby for my sister's sixtieth birthday weekend. The enquiry took a few days to get a reply from the owner, which was a little frustrating when we were trying to secure the dates. Once confirmed, the arrangements went smoothly and the stay itself was lovely. The kitchen was well stocked, though we did have to ask about the parking.
