“I have been with Independent Cottages for 6 years and in this time have found them to be excellent in every department. Their website is very professional and easy to use and I find the news and updates very useful. Every year we consistently receive a good number of enquiries with a high percentage converting into bookings. Have tried other agents and outlets but none compare, just signed up for another year at rates that are very reasonable. Highly Recommend.”

“I very rarely give reviews, however, in the case of Independent Cottages I would like to highlight the ease of setting up the advert website, the ease of making changes to it and the value for money of the service. Independent Cottages is a great platform for holiday let owners like myself and their team is efficient and courteous. Many thanks P. Wilde”

“Since joining Independent Cottages just under a year ago we have been pleased with the number of bookings that we have received through the website. Sarah is very professional and extremely helpful, especially when we were setting up our advert. Both the customer and owners sections of the website are easy to use, and we like the flexibility we have being able to update our details ourselves. We would definitely recommend Independent Cottages.”

Helpful Report

“Some years ago, we searched for a website that could promote our holiday lodge and generate more enquiries. The main criteria was a strong presence on google searches. I'm pleased to say that we found Independent Cottages, who more than met our criteria, appearing on page one of google for quite a few search terms. Also, we wanted a website that we could have a link to our calendar and again Independent Cottages enabled us to just that, so we didn't need to keep updating there website constantly. The service we have received has delighted us over the years and we have no hesitation in recommending their website to promote your holiday home.”

“I have used independent cottages for about five years, and they have consistently delivered more enquiries and bookings than any other agency I use. The website views and enquiry log allows you to track their effectiveness. Sarah is particularly helpful, and always goes the extra mile to assist you, if you have a query.”

“I Joined Independent Cottages just over a year ago and I must say I am extremely happy with the attention to detail, the communication and the overall business ethics of this company. Sarah and Steve are always available to assist with any questions or issues and are very helpful. The owners section is very user friendly and easy to navigate. I would definitely recommend Independent Cottages to fellow owners and anyone searching for their perfect holiday destination.”

Helpful Report

“Having advertised Boltons Tarn Luxury Log Cabins through Independent Cottages for the last 8 years we can wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to let their holiday property. The personal guidance received from Sarah Jarvis is a valuable service which few other advertisers give and a reply to any questions is promptly dealt with by Sarah Realistically it gets harder each year to stay competitive when competing online with the big players, their huge budgets grabbing the highest positions on search engines. Independent cottages are still holding prime positions when holiday accommodation searches are made ensuring good returns for their advertisers.”

“We've been delighted with the level of bookings that Willow Wood has received through Independent Cottages since listing the cottage on Sarah's website just over a year ago. But it's not just the business generated that has been impressive - it's the lengths that Sarah goes to in order to ensure the listing is going to deliver, together with the service she provides responding to owner questions and issues. Independent Cottages represents excellent value in my opinion for any owner looking to rent out a property to holidaymakers.”

“From the moment I listed my cottage, the service has been impeccable. I feel as if Sarah takes a personal interest and the site produces a stream of bookings allowing me to dispense with other less successful sites.”

“I was looking for a property that is suitable for my nephew who is disabled. Sarah very patiently listened to my requirements and then promptly researched various options for me which I doubt I would have found myself. Overall a very helpful and efficient service.”
