Search cottages’ aim is to help cottage owners promote their holiday cottage, villa, cabin,
ski lodge, appartment or any type of holiday property. We pride ourselves in providing property owners with a quality, user friendly website, where they can advertise the details of their property. In this respect we are similar to the many hundreds of similar websites available to property owners.
However, we differ from most of our competiitors in that we want to provide the best experience for the customer and also provide additional tools for you, the holiday cottage owner to further develop your marketing and property management
capabilities. We have worked hard to provide a modern site with the latest web technology and
database facilities together with some great tools which we think make the Search Cottage website great value for money.
These include:
- Full control over your properties advert.
- Unlimited* number of photos and text.
- Update your advert at any time.
- Full Database searching.
- Online email marketing for your own customers.
- Your own properties newsletter.
- Online availability and online calendars.
- Mapping services for users.
- Online advertising via Google adverts.
- Your own web statistics so you can monitor the visitors to your page.
- Extra prominent advertising on Silver & Gold accounts.
- Paid optimising of links.
- Press and online advertising to promote the site and in turn your properties.
- No booking fees, all booking enquiries come direct to you.
- Easy navigation to find cottages for the UK, Scotland, England, Wales or further
afield.
What’s more, we want to offer you all of this for less that our competitors.
It is completely free to setup an owner’s account and create your own property advert. You will be able to preview it and share the link with your friends for their opinions. You then have the option to publish your advert for FREE for the first year.
