Advantages: Lots of choice, good service Disadvantages: Added insurance costs
...the internet I stumbled across Welcome Cottages, and I've never bothered to look elsewhere since.
The website-------------------------------------
www.welcomecottages.com
I have to admit that stylistically the site certainly isn't up to much (I live with a graphic designer!), it looks fairly content heavy, yet its really easy to use.
You can search for cottages by area in either the UK, Ireland or France and then you can refine your search further ... ...have children, do you want a garden, to be near the sea, be near a pub etc etc. Once you have selected your options the site will throw up a number of cottages that suit your needs. The cottages nearest the top of the list will suit your needs better than those further down the list.
(If you have stayed in a particular cottage before and want to go again then you can simply enter the property code).

Advantages: Easy booking process and professional to deal with Disadvantages: They don't inspect the properties themselves and rely on owner descriptions
My husband I have used Welcome Cottages five times now to book a week long holiday in the UK for us and our two dogs. We have stayed in four lovely places, but the last place was rather grim, so I thought I would share our experience so others can try and avoid doing what we did!
Welcome Cottages lets properties in Ireland, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Croatia. The properties are owned by private owners who let them through Welcome ... ...looked good, so I rang Welcome Cottages, paid my £24 booking fee and made the booking.

We'd received their brochure for 2003 the year before and booked our holiday in the October.
The brochure is very colourful with John Noakes (formerly of Blue Peter fame) heading their brochure as well as their website.
The brochure is broken down into sections within England, Wales and Scotland and they have cottages in Ireland and ... ...more than any other time of the year.
When corresponding with Welcome Cottages I found them to be very cooperative and helpful which is why we have used them again for our holiday this year to Cornwall!
