Testimonials from current holiday property owners:
When we read these ourselves we think they sound fictitious but they
are all true and unsolicited!
Let me thank you - we've now been with you for about three
months and have had 10 bookings. We've only received 2 from other
websites we're on. So we're very impressed and thank you so much for
helping get our first year off to such a good start.
(12/03/2008)
We have had 64 enquiries and have taken 16 bookings in the nine weeks we have been with you, averaging over £1000 per week, I have ammended the availability calender to keep it up to date. Our first guests stayed for a week in February, they were so delighted they have booked another week later in the year, thanks for
putting together such a great site.(26/02/2008)
our cottage is booked full
till 6th October...mainly thanks to which Cottage!
(12/01/2008)
I have been advertising with you now for 31 days, your site has generated 23
enquiries and 8 bookings at an average £943 per week, I expect this to
increase significantly as I let more of the premium weeks.
(26/01/2008)
Once again folks thanks, my bookings are fantastic both cottages are nearly fully booked from March to Sept!!
(22/01/2008)
At present we will not be renewing our advertising for our Cottage. The reason being we are considering putting it up for sale shortly.
We have received many enquiries and bookings through Which Cottage, so thank you for the support you have given us over the past year.
Should we decide not to sell the Cottage, we will definitely be in touch to renew our advertising.
Thanks again. (08/01/2008)
Thank you for the care you take of the site. My entry with you is so successful that I shall be cancelling my other accounts next year.
(18/12/2007)
Indeed we would like to renew our subscription to . Please invoice us at your earliest convenience......
I`m glad to say that we`ve never looked back since we first subscribed to Scotland Holiday Cottage.com, achieving 45 weeks let out of 52 on 2007
(10/12/2007)
Bookings have been going brilliantly – thanks to your wonderful site –
Thank you!(16/11/2007)
We advertised our cottage with great success on your site until last
Spring.
As it was the first season for us we decided to try advertising on
other
sites. However it has become apparant to us that this is not working.
Therefore, we should be obliged if you could give us a quote for
advertising
with you again.
We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
(13/11/2007)
Which Cottage is a very, very productive site for us, and whereas Cottage Guide was previously our best source of business, this rearely generates an enquiry now, far less a booking.
As for the other, numerous sites on which we have a presence, they all are a complete waste of time and money. So, you appear to have created something very special in a very short space of time.
Good luck and continued success........(07/11/2007)
Our site with you certainly is cost
effective, so can you email an invoice please for next year (30/10/2007)
We have been advertising our self-catering property on whichcottage.com since the Spring. This has been our
first year doing something like this and we are astonished at how
successful it has been. I reckon that 95% of our guests have come to
us through whichcottage.com. I wanted to let you know how delighted we
have been at the service you offer - whatever our subscription costs,
it has been repaid many times over by the bookings we have had through
whichcottage.com. Of course, we shall be happy to renew our
subscription when the time comes.
Thanks - you have made an important contribution to our successful
first year's business in self-catering.(18/10/2007)
We are delighted with how
many enquiries come via you by the way, and with your prompt and friendly
service! (07/10/2007)
While I'm writing, I'd just like to say thanks for the great service we've
had from you. Our Cottage has been busy ever since we listed with you
and it looks like the winter will be as hectic as the summer. Many thanks
for that!
(01/10/2007)
Just thought I would drop you a line and let you know how we were
getting on since we started advertising with your site at the end of
June.
We were fully booked for August with last minute bookings infact if we
could have double and treble booked for August. Most of our guests
came from Europe and the feedback from them was very promising.
We are even now taking enquires from as far away as Australia for next
year.
So far we are very pleased with the site and are glad we chose you to
advertise for us.
Thank you very much for all the help you gave us in the begining
(14/09/2007)
Thank you for the continuing stream of enquiries which emanate from
your site. Prior to joining your organisation, I was with two
agencies who together, brought in half the bookings that you have.
(11/07/2007)
Thank you for your email and yes I would like to continue my ad with
Which Cottage.
Apologies for the delay in responding and thank you for the large
number of enquiries that have ensured our cottage is fully booked at
most times (03/07/2007)
May I just add that your service has proved spectacularly
successful in bringing me in bookings this year (my first with your
service). Many thanks.
Incidentally, we are fully booked up to the first week in September
(with the exception of 1 week in June), so the website has worked well -
thank you! (19/05/2007 - from property owner that joined 15th April 2007)
We have been astonished by the number of enquiries we have received through Whichcottage and an encouraging number have turned into firm bookings.
(18/05/2007)
We have had an overwhelming amount of requests. Thank-you (14/05/2007 - owners have been on the site for 4 days!)
First booking through your site today. That took all of 3 days!!!
My friend that recommended that I joined 'Which Cottage' will crow and say, 'I told you so!' (03/05/2007)
You provide a top service, many thanks.(02/05/2007)
Thanks once again for all the hard work and thought which definitely
makes 'Which Cottage' stand out from the rest!! (08/04/2007)
First, thank you for creating a wonderful channel to market. We are delighted with the number of enquiries received in our first
year...
(8/3/2007)
May I say the interest from your site is simply staggering, I've been in
tourism for 31 years and I have never experienced business being produced
quite so rapidly ! (12/02/2007)
I would say that 98% of our bookings here at the Dolls Houses on
Killean Estate come in from this site so it is definitely proving to
be successful for us.
I really must say that your site is brilliant in the amount of enquiries it brings and I will continue to recommend it to all wherever I go
(11/1/2007)
Happy New Year!
A quick line to say that since signing up with you in late November your fee has been covered by bookings four times - now that's the sort of return I like!
Many thanks indeed. (9/1/2007)
Yes I would definately like to renew our subscription - you give us so many enquiries
that we are thinking of building another cottage - the summer we knew we could always fill, but you seem to have fully booked us throughout the winter months (in a very short period of time) when we used always to struggle.
Keep up the good work - I wish we had never advertised anywhere else, you are so good.
We are buying another cottage in Freswick, near John O' Groats in
February and would like to list it with you again.
Most of our bookings have come through your website so far. We are
really very pleased. Thank you very much.
I meant to tell you that, of the 8 weeks booked over Christmas and New Year
in our 4 holiday cottages, one is by recommendation, 2 are 'returns' and the other 5
have all come through Scotland-Holiday-Cottage. Thank you!
We are THRILLED with the response we have had from your site with over 100
for the New Year so the tariff and availability should help reduce this just
a little bit!! Having been in the industry (with a Restaurant with Rooms for
15 years) we know very many people in the industry and have recommended your
site to many friends and associates. It really is the very best site to be
on for self catering, without doubt.
We have been overwhelmed by the amount of bookings that you have given us -
we have cancelled all our other advertising for our cottages as within a short period of time you
have demonstrated that you are giving me more bookings than
all the others combined. I am only sorry that I tried to haggle the price with you - you are as you said worth every penny, I just wish I had
been introduced to Whichcottage before. Many thanks
Just a quick note to say thank you for all your
hard work, we really appreciate the number of enquiries we get from
your site..definitely a good investment!!
Finally, I have to just tell you both. Do you remember that I had reservations about using your site for advertising due to the cost really? We’d paid out to be on so many, often with very little return, and had, had our fingers burnt just once too often. Well we’re a few months down the line now and I have to say that we get more enquiries and thus bookings from you than anyone else, by far. You’re obviously doing something right and we really appreciate it, thank you very much. Money well spent!
Since listing our wee cottage on your website, we have been almost
inundated with enquiries! I am pleased to say that many enquiries have turned
into full bookings, and our first year of holiday letting has consequently
been a runaway success.
Just to let you know I now get 90% of my bookings - not
enquiries but real bookings through whichcottage.com.
Yes I would like to renew ...... Your site has sent me many enquiries this last year and when I had
availbility I had a 100% conversion rate from the enquiries.
I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with your website. It
has helped to generate a significant number of bookings with nice
families.
...Very glad to hear they booked - hope you think it was worth paying the extra to
advertise with us!
'Are you kidding? Okay, so the price hike was massive, but
'Which Cottage.com' is a fabulous site, and you generate a massive percentage of our
genuine enquiries. We've never spent a better marketing pound.
you can quote me everywhere.'
Thanks for such a prompt response... no wonder you do so well! We
have had 20 out of first 26 weeks booked from lst July to end December 05, about 80% of which come from you. Now have 12 weeks booked for
next year... and although I know that high standards seem to pay huge
dividends, seems to be that prompt responses are
essential...
This is 'The place to advertise holiday cottages in Scotland'
I have wasted so much money advertising on sites that have given me no bookings -
I have had a huge amount of enquiries and all the people that have stayed in our cottage have been wonderful, I am hopeful that several will repeat book next year.
I only wish I had advertised my cottage with you two years ago!
Please don't hesitate to offer me as a referee - I would recommend that all Scottish self-caterers advertise their holiday property with you - and may I add that it is terrific to see a dedicated site for Scotland.
Your 'Which Cottage' has worked so fantastically well for me that I do not have
a space until mid September...
Happy New Year and a very well done to you both I think it is a
fantastic web site and you generate me loads of bookings so a very big
thankyou
May I just say how fantastic a response I have had from your site. I
must have had about 250 enquiries for Christmas/New year this year!!!
Thank you. All the best to you all for 2006
Thanks also for the very many enquiries and bookings your site has generated in 2005. We are very satisfied with the performance.
Your website is producing lots of queries ... it's FAB!
'Great response I am delighted. I am getting on average 3 enquiries per
day. Had about 5 confirmed bookings.' (from a highlands cottage owner
after 6 weeks on the site.)
I have contacted you before to say how happy I was with the number of referrals that 'WhichCottage.com' achieves for me - more than the other 6 companies that I have registered with. One noticable feature is the number of overseas enquiries and bookings that I get especially from AUSTRALIA.
I am writing to express how pleased I am with your site. I have had
many enquiries in the short time I have advertised with you, some of
which have resulted in bookings already - thank you.
'I am receiving on average an enquiry a day from 'www.WhichCottage.com' - which is
really good I am very pleased with this level of response. I am
registered with various other companies like yourselves and receive far
less queries.'
Have just sent off the cheque for our entry, and we are so pleased with the response through your website, far and away the most! Now 11 weeks booked.
We wondered if you would mind taking us out of the Larger Properties
advert. We seem to be getting a lot of enquiries for large parties
and whilst we don’t mind accommodating them once in a while we don’t
really want to do this on a weekly basis!
We are very impressed at the number of enquiries we have received from
your website to date and look forward to a busy summer. (East Lothian cottage owner after 3 weeks on the site)
I get almost 90% of my bookings from your site !!
To be fair we feel we should also publish less glowing owners comments:
This came from an unsatisfied owner, but we thought most
people would have been delighted!
I had a quick count and there were a maximum of 99 enquiries that
came through from you between 22 September 05 and 10 January 06,
which I was very disappointed about ...(06/01/2007)
From clients looking to book a self-catering holiday cottage:
We recieve many emails thanking us for our help and complimenting us on the design and speed of the site
We must compliment you on your site for being simple to
use, uncomplicated
and informative - a significant `cut` above others we have encountered! (26/02/2008)
I booked a cottage with 'whichcottage' which was so easy to use and had a very good selection of properties on it - I just wondered, can we advertise our Bed and breakfast in Edinburgh with you?
(26/09/2007)
Thanks I found your website informative and efficient - I have booked a cottage for our holiday and will return next year.
Very good, thank you. (02/09/2007)
Dear Anne & Veronica, in the last 6-7 years that I try to book via
internet, there was not one site so customer friendly and so fast.
THANKS (17/07/2007)
Thanks, I have had a reply already and booked our holiday - would you consider advertising my chalet in the Alps?
Which Cottage advertises quality self catering holiday properties
We take no commission charges.
Specialist web site only for Scottish properties.
You control your own bookings and receive enquiries direct.
Advertise with us and increase the occupancy of your Scottish holiday
cottage, whether or not you already have your own website.
www.scotland-holiday-cottage.com will greatly increase your web exposure - it is a
specialist Scottish holiday cottage site, viewed by people searching for quality holiday accommodation specifically in Scotland, from all over the world every day.
Our annual fee - compared to a one-off print advertisement - is
fantastic value!
What you get:
We will build a page about your holiday cottage from information that you
supply: either your own website, another site that you are listed on, or a
printed brochure. We will include up to four photographs of your property,
supplied by you. We make no additional charges for this.
Your holiday cottage will be viewed 365 days a year on
www.scotland-holiday-cottage.com.
Potential visitors will contact you directly via our email form. There is
no commission for you to pay and no third party involved - reservations are
made directly with you. There are of course no restrictions on where else
you can advertise.
You will know that the enquiry has come from your advertisment on
www.scotland-holiday-cottage.com as it will appear on our customised enquiry
form to your email address. We will supply an annual record of the number of
enquries sent to you, so that you can see what good value your advertisment
has been.
We know that we will provide you with a cost effective and easy way to increase your holiday cottage revenue.
Why us?
We have a proven, highly successful, formula of advertising holiday cottages
on the internet since 1999. We have Scottish holiday cottages ourselves
which are booked and rebooked on the internet, achieving very high occupancy
rates over the year. We have come together to make a site that will offer
all quality holiday cottage owners an opportunity to greatly increase rental
leads and to be part of a quality Scottish holiday cottage collection.
What makes us different?
We understand the industry of cottage rentals and also of internet
marketing. We have been there ourselves with hundreds of sites asking us to
advertise with them .... we have learnt at our own expense what works and
what doesn't. www.scotland-holiday-cottage.com is a quick to load, easy to
navigate site, that will put your cottage amongst other quality cottages for
rent in Scotland. Our experience shows that people are much more likely to
book from a quality collection than from an isolated site, as they can view
several properties under the one umbrella and be confident that they 'have
shopped amongst the best'. Most importantly www.scotland-holiday-cottage.com
is easy to find in Google and other search engines - don't you agree?
We are happy to offer a 'no quibble' money-back guarantee if you do not
recieve any enquiries from www.scotland-holiday-cottage.com during the year
your advertisement is on the site.
To add a cottage, please email us telling us where we can view your website
or details about your cottage. We will expect to have a page about your
cottage ready for your approval within 48hrs. Once approved we will invoice
you, and your cottage details will be add to the site immediately.
We offer one free text change during the 12 months so you can update
your prices or make any necessary changes - unfortunately we do have to
make a charge for changing photographs or further text changes unless
otherwise agreed. As you have full opportunity to check and change
your entry before it goes live then this doesn't normally cause any
problems!
If you have any questions whatsoever, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Anne and Veronica
