You can check in to your handpicked holiday cottage from 3pm onwards and check out is 10am.  This allows the owners and cleaners to make the holiday cottage perfect for you when you arrive. Perhaps you and your party would prefer to arrive earlier or leave later, if so please ask one of our friendly booking team and we will do our best to arrange this for you.

We appreciate that having parking is very important and the majority of our holiday cottages strive to provide parking, if there is not parking directly at the holiday cottage there will be allocated parking spaces at nearby car parks. Full details of what facilities the holiday cottage has are under the accommodation section on the website.

Many of our owners are pet owners themselves and know how much a pet is part of the family and therefore a large proportion of our holiday cottages are happy to accept pets for a charge of £20.00 per pet per week. To view our entire pet friendly cottages please visit our new website, www.petfriendlycottageholidays.com in fact some are so pet friendly you can even bring your horse with you!

We strive to make our cottages accessible for everyone. We have got a selection of holiday cottages that have ground floor accommodation to enable guests with mobility problems to choose a cottage that is suitable for their needs. Please check the website or call and speak to our friendly booking staff who can help you.

Cots and highchairs are available at most holiday cottages, please check the website or ask one of our friendly staff at time of your booking to confirm this.

All of our holiday cottages will be provided with towels and bed linen. A change of linen and towels will be provided weekly for bookings of two weeks or more. Also, please remember to bring your own bedding for cots.

Our cottages are assessed independently by the ‘Quality in Tourism’ board and are awarded the appropriate star rating which can be found on the website or in our brochure.

This is a selected amount that is paid with the final balance of your holiday cottage booking and this covers any damage or breakages that may occur during your stay. All being well we aim to refund the amount to you within 3 to 4 working days of you leaving the holiday cottage.

We try to be as helpful as we can and we appreciate you may need some time to arrange your holiday plans with your family and friends so we can usually hold a holiday cottage for a few hours. We cannot usually hold it for more time than that unless you confirm the booking by paying the initial 30% deposit.

Maybe life is too busy to go away for a 7 night stay so a lot of our holiday cottages take short breaks out of high season for a 2 – 4 night stay, either midweek or over the weekend. Short breaks are also offered if we have late availability on our holiday cottages so please do look at our late availability section for those last minute breaks.

Usually short breaks are priced as a % of the week:

Nights = 60% of weekly rent

Nights = 65% of weekly rent

Nights = 75% of weekly rent

Bear in mind this may vary for different properties. If you would like a quote for any specific holiday cottage, please go to the ‘price and availability’ section of the specific holiday property and it will calculate the price for you.

Yes we are happy to arrange longer stays and in most cases owners of the holiday cottage will negotiate with you for longer term stays. We also have a number of properties that will agree to short term lettings on their holiday cottages, if you are between properties, are visiting for business or to see family and wish to look for a longer term period up to 3 months, please call our helpful booking team who would be happy to give you more details.

Some holiday cottages do offer a lower occupancy discount. Please call us and we will happily advise you if this is available on the property you are interested in booking.

Once you book your chosen holiday cottage you enter into a legal contract with the owner. Please be sure to read our booking conditions.

Once you have browsed our website and chosen the perfect holiday cottage you can book either on online or by phone.

Sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances you may have to change your holiday plans and arrive later than planned. Unfortunately if you have booked the holiday cottage the owner will have prepared the holiday cottage for your stay and it is unlikely they will be able to alter the start date to fit your plans however please do ask as we will do our best to accommodate you if we can.
