Booked a cottage with a hot tub in mid Wales for a mate's stag weekend. Sorted it on my phone in the car on the way home from work. The place was spot on, hot tub was ready and the parking was good for the van. Owner left a bottle of something on the side.
Read moreTried another holiday site first and it was much fussier about the payment. This one was quicker to book a cottage in the Highlands for a week. The problem was the host took two days to reply to my question about parking, and by then I had already sorted it myself. It was fine in the end but a bit slow.
Read moreCompared with the large booking websites I had used before, this was a far more pleasant experience. The listings were not crowded with near identical places, and each cottage had a proper description of what you were getting. I booked a place in the Peak District for my wife's birthday and the confirmation came through straight away. The host replied to my questions within the hour, which I was…
Read moreBooked a cottage in Pembrokeshire for a week away with my wife and we paid a fair amount for it, but the place was good value for what you get. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfy. The only niggle was the check in time, which was a bit later than the listing said, so we had to wait around for the key. Still a decent holiday.
We needed a place with a decent drive and a big enough garden for the dog, because most of the cheaper places in the Lakes are tiny. The search filters picked that up well. The cottage was the one we wanted, though the parking was a bit tighter than the photos suggested and the broadband was slower than advertised.
Booked a cottage in Snowdonia on my phone while waiting for the kids to finish their tea, and the detail that stood out was how fast it loaded. Checkout took about two minutes. The cottage was lovely but the wifi was patchy in the back bedroom, which was a bit annoying when I needed to work. Otherwise a great spot for a few days.
Would say it's a good place to find a cottage, especially if it's your first time booking one like this. The listing was clear and we got a booking in a day or so. Only minor thing was that the check-in instructions came through a bit late, the evening before we arrived. Otherwise the cottage was lovely and close to the coast.
