Holiday Cottages

The use of the term "holiday cottages" can be considered a little bit misleading. This is because the term is actually used to cover a range of property types as well as a cottage, such as a house, townhouse, flat, etc. However, it is generally understood to mean self catering holiday accommodation where you are the sole user of the accommodation.

Holiday cottages are a great place to escape to if you feel the need to get away from the daily routines of modern life. There are many options available to suit virtually everyone: from families with young children, family pets, or aged parents; groups of friends; or romantic couples.

To find a Holiday in Filey cottage you can use one of the two main options available:

Whichever option you go for, it is a good idea to write down a checklist for your Holiday Cottages selection criteria. You should be able to save time and effort by comparing properties against the criteria on your checklist.

Then find another website to search, if the website does not have anything suitable for your holiday. 

Here are the two stages in more detail:

1 - Find Websites - Firstly you need to search for websites that have holiday properties available.

There are three major criteria to consider:

If you decide to use vicinity search terms like "St Ives holiday cottages" or "St Ives self catering accommodation" you are more likely to get websites dealing in a smaller amount of local properties. If you decide to use region or country terms like "Cornwall holiday cottages" or "Cornwall self catering accommodation" you are more likely to get websites dealing with a larger number of properties.

Payment Options - The website you choose to deal with may also depend on your payment preferences; and also how comfortable you feel when dealing with the website. If it is a small website or an individual property website, credit card facilities may not be available. To make a payment you may have to send a cheque; make a direct bank transfer; or use PayPal.

Availability Checking - The website may not have a fully automated availability checking facility to provide up to the minute availability information. In this case, to check availability you may have to send an email to the website or make an enquiry to the appropriate telephone number. This will therefore slow down the process of finding a property.

2 - Finding Properties - Having found a website to search you can then undertake the detailed task of finding suitable Cottages in Filey or self catering holiday accommodation. This is where it is useful to have a list of criteria available to compare properties against.
