We needed a place for the family to stay near Ilfracombe for my wife's birthday, and we have been going to the same stretch of coast for thirty odd years. I have used this site on and off since they started and it has never let us down. This time the booking was simple, the cottage had everything listed and the owner left the key where we were told. Nothing to complain about, we are already planning next year.

The lighthouse cottage near St Ives was the thing I remember most, the view from the top window is quite something. Booking was straightforward and I was grateful for the clear map of the lane.

Having rented holiday cottages for twenty years I can tell quickly when a listing is padded out. This one was accurate about the sleeping arrangements and the heating, and the photos matched the place when we arrived in Pembrokeshire. The check-in instructions were clear and the key safe worked first time. I would book the same cottage again without a second thought.

We go to the Isle of Wight most summers and this site has been reliable for us for a good while now. The booking itself was straightforward and the confirmation was there straight away. The only niggle was that the deposit was taken a few days earlier than I expected, but it all worked out fine.

My sister needed somewhere to stay for a few nights near the hospital in Cardiff while her son had treatment, and money was really tight. I wanted something cheap but not grotty, so I was pleased when this turned up a flat that wasn't much more than a hotel room. Booking was quick and the host sent a text the night before to check the buzzer. She was grateful and so was I.

We needed a weekend away after exams and nobody had the energy to plan anything. Picked a cottage near Brighton on here and it took about five minutes to book on my phone. The place was lovely, with a hot tub out the back and the host replied to a question about parking within the hour. Would do it again for sure.

Found a room for two nights in Brighton for less than the hotel was charging direct, which is why I went looking in the first place. Booking took about five minutes on the app and the confirmation came straight away. Nothing to chase, you just turn up and check in.

We needed somewhere to stay for a funeral in Leeds and the timing was awful, so I was in a panic. I looked at three other sites first and they either wanted a deposit I couldn't pay yet or had nothing near the church. This one let me pay in two halves and the room was exactly where I needed it.

I would happily say this was the right choice for our wedding anniversary trip to the Cotswolds. The cottage was spotless and the host had left a note with local recommendations, which was a kind touch. We were shown the way to parking without any fuss at all, and the whole booking was easy to follow from start to finish.

Compared it to the big package sites and this came out cheaper for the same flight and hotel to Malaga. You pick the bits yourself so there's no paying for stuff you don't want. The confirmation arrived fast and the transfer to the hotel was on time.

This is the one I use every year for our walking holiday in the Lake District, so I know it well by now. Booked a small cottage outside Ambleside and it was exactly the place we have stayed in before, same owners and same lovely garden. The booking took about ten minutes and the confirmation came through straight away. Honestly the best option we have found for that part of the country and we will keep coming back.

Compared it with the train fare to Edinburgh and the bus was the cheaper route by a mile. Booked it on my phone in bed and the ticket came through on the app straight away. Bus was on time and the seat had a plug, so no complaints.

the cabin near Bala was so cute, got a hot tub and everything. booked on my phone in like five mins while on the bus, and the confirmation came through instantly. the hot tub was the thing i kept going on about the whole trip. would def book again for the next lads weekend x

We have been booking through them for about eight years now, mostly the same little house near Cromer. What I like is that the dates are always right and the price is steady from one year to the next. The owner sent us a welcome message the day before we arrived and left the heating on for us in February. It is the first place we look every year.

We booked a cottage in the Peak District for our fortieth anniversary and I was rather pleased with the choice. The listing gave a proper sense of the place, with photographs that matched what we found on arrival. The host was helpful when we had a question about the heating, and the whole arrangement was very straightforward from start to finish.

The first thing I always notice is how easy it is to rebook, and I have used them for years for our Scarborough trips. This time the price went up a fair bit between searching and paying, which annoyed me. The room itself was as described, a bit small but clean, and it was in the place I needed.

I have used the big search sites for years to compare cottages and this one lists more of the small independent places. The filters let me sort by distance to the beach, which the others don't do well. The cottage in Cornwall was exactly where it said on the map and the host's instructions were spot on. Nothing about the booking felt rushed.

Booked a cottage in Pembrokeshire through them for the first time, my partner found it on her phone. The listing said it had a parking space but it was more of a gravel patch by the road, which was fine but not quite what I pictured. The booking itself was quick and the confirmation came through straight away. Otherwise the place was nice and the host answered my messages the same day.

Compared it against going straight to the hotel site and this was quicker to sort out. Found a cottage in the Dales with a proper kitchen for less money too.

I had been looking at a few different places for a week in a cabin and kept getting lost in the reviews. This cabin near Betws-y-Coed had a wood burner, a hot tub and walks right from the door, which the others mostly didn't. Booking was quick and the host sent directions and a list of nearby pubs the morning we arrived. Honestly it was a lovely base for the hills.
