What does “independent” mean?

On this collection, independent describes cottages run by individual owners or smaller independent businesses. It does not automatically mean that a stay is detached, that you will meet the owner, that there are no booking fees or that every booking is made directly with an owner.

The individual property listing and booking route are the best places to confirm who manages the stay and what is included.

What to check before booking

  • Who you book with: Confirm whether the booking is handled by an owner, an independent manager or another booking provider.
  • The total cost: Read the price breakdown and terms before paying a deposit.
  • Questions about the cottage: Use the booking contact to check details such as parking, arrival arrangements, dogs, accessibility or equipment for children.
  • The property itself: Independent management is not a facilities guarantee. Check the listing for the layout, outdoor space and amenities you need.
  • Your booking protection: Review the payment method, cancellation policy and travel-insurance options that suit your plans.

You can also refine your search for dog-friendly cottages, coastal holiday cottages, large holiday cottages and walking holidays.

Frequently asked questions

It is a cottage run by an individual owner or a smaller independent business. Check the individual listing to understand the exact booking arrangement.

Some stays may offer direct owner booking, but do not assume this from the independent label alone. Check the booking route and property details before reserving.

Not necessarily. Check the total price, any optional extras and the booking terms for the property you choose.

Use the contact or booking details on the individual listing. Depending on the property, this may be the owner, a local manager or the booking provider.

No. Independent describes the way a property is owned or managed, rather than its layout. Check the property description and photographs for the accommodation arrangement.
