About

Posted by admin on November 4, 2008 under Travel | Be the First to Comment

Internet-Cottages is a directory of over 700 independent holiday cottages in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, together with gites in France, and villas in Spain.

Our aim is to present you with a selection of quality self-catering accommodation, across all price bands, to enable you to find a cottage to suit your needs, and within your budget.

The holiday cottages are advertised on behalf of the owners, and bookings are made directly with them. Typically, by going direct in this way, you can save around 20% on holiday rental charges when compared with holiday rental agencies such as English Country Cottages, who charge commissions on any bookings they handle.
