Advantages: Holidaying with the comforts of home Disadvantages: You have to cook your own breakfast
Although I love going away on holiday and staying in hotels, I sometimes miss being able to do what I want when I want (even the 'do not disturb' on hotel doors does not always work!).
A friend in work introduced us to this company, when she and some mates (I think there were about 10 of them in the group) spent a weekend in one of the 'cottages' on offer. Do not let the name of the company fool you. They definitely did not stay in a cottage! They ... ...swimming pool and games room. After looking at the property that they stayed in, I decided to have a good look at the site.
The website is www.cottages4you.co.uk. and it is an online version of the Holiday Cottages Group. The company have cottages to rent in the UK, Ireland, France and Italy. The country of choice can be selected from the ‘homepage’. The website is very easy to us and the ‘homepage’ also shows three categories in which to choose ...

Advantages: Easy to find cottages in the area you want Disadvantages: Sometimes it can be hard to find a cottage that really suits you
We have booked holidays with this company for approximately 4 years now, some 8 holidays.
We have always found them to be professional and helpful, even when wanting to book a last minute break - they searched for properties for us and gave us plenty of details over the phone and didn't mind being on the phone for half an hour at their expense.
On the one occasion we had cause to complain about the accommodation and the owners, the company were ... ...company for the choice of properties available, their professionalism and the ease of use of their website.
When you are booking online or on the phone you can specify very detailed criteria such as whether pets are allowed, whether the property is a non-smoking one, the availability of cots, whether the cottage is near the coast, has a swimming pool, an enclosed garden. Best of all , the option for a virtual tour - I always use this option.
You ...

Stayed at CILCYCHWYN, Llanbedr. Not a good experience. Smelled bad, infested by mice and mould. Run down and not very clean. Bullet holes in the windows. Also said there was fishing available. It is about 3 miles up a steep hill (no vehicle access). Also told fishing in back garden - rubbish!
Worst of all, on our return we have been hounded for money for supposed damage, and additional heavy cleaning. The owner makes up more damage and threatens ... ...each time - laughable really. Threatened with court but taken legal advice, and they said she had very little chance of winning.
Certainly not what you need when you come back off holiday. We have stayed at several cottages (through Menai Cottages or direct with the owner), and never had a problem before.
Complained to Welcome cottages, they were not interested said we should sort it out with the owner direct. Basically once they have your money, ...

Quick review of cottages4you.co.uk
Our experience of booking through cottages 4 you was not a pleasant one. The cottage we booked, the Old Abbey at Treardur bay, Anglesey, was such a dissapointment. It was New Year and the pub advertised as 50 yards away was closed for renovation. All other pubs were ticket only. The beach was down a dark unlit road and closed off at night.
We paid £500 and were offered just £50 refund after staying only 2 of 7 days. They maintained our contract was not with them but with the cottage owner, who, despite knowing how short a stay we had has offered nothing back.
Avoid the Old Abbey and this company. Very poor service indeed. (Except when taking our money). ...
