Why it’s a good time for UK holiday cottages

Demand for UK holidays is booming, with searches for holiday cottages and all self-catering properties in England, Scotland and Wales increasing dramatically on our site in the last year. We know that our guests are looking for places that offer truly memorable moments away, not just somewhere to stay, so if you’ve created somewhere special, it’s a great time to put it out there.
