Full management
We personally manage all enquiries and bookings, as well as all payments. We are the middle party, removing holiday cottage related stress from your life and providing you with bookings.
Partial management
We work alongside you and/or other agents. You can request specific features from our service packages to suit your requirements, so you get exactly what you want and not what you don't
Online Marketing
We take the guesswork out of online marketing, and promote your properties without managing bookings. Working as an affiliate partner rather than an agent.
Management
We take the stress
Managing a holiday cottage these days is not easy, understanding online marketing is, in itself, a very challenging task and then you need to handle enquiries, bookings and money! Owners need to have the ability to take online bookings and that requires sophisticated ‘channel management systems’, which can be a nightmare if you don’t know how they work, so why not let My Favourite Cottages do all of this for you.

"I have always found the team to be interested in doing the very best they can for my bookings and all at my convenience. Because they have visited Devon Beach Court on many occasions they can answer many of the potential guests questions immediately and thus generally secure the booking there and then without having to involve me."
14 Day Payment
Unlike many other agencies, My Favourite Cottages pay clients within 14 days of receiving any money, allowing owners to receive an income from their holiday rental property all year round. This means no more waiting until the guest has been and gone before the money is transferred to your account.
"Deposits received are paid when the cottage is booked and the balance one month prior to arrival. The financial impact was so positive the overdraft facility we had set up to cover winter months was no longer needed."
Personal Service
At My Favourite Cottages you will get to know each member of the team, so whenever you need to discuss your holiday cottage you will be able to speak to someone you know and trust.
We work with a number of reputable housekeeping teams and local trades peoples to make sure whatever your needs are we are able to be to lend a helping hand.
"You can always speak with a person and it’s always somebody that you know and who knows you, it’s a very personal service from a small, well informed team."
