**The problem it solves** UK and Irish self-catering holiday home owners need a managed letting channel that handles distribution, marketing, pricing, and guest payments without requiring them to run individual OTA accounts. **What Cottages.com does** Cottages.com is a UK-based self-catering holiday rental marketplace for cottage and holiday home bookings, offering properties across England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, and Italy. It trades as a brand of Awaze Vacation Rentals Ltd and is part of the Awaze Group. **How it works** For property owners, Cottages.com provides intelligent pricing tools that use real-time demand data and market analysis to generate bespoke pricing recommendations. Owners manage listings through an online account with availability calendar management and the ability to block personal use periods. The platform provides 7-day UK-based owner support via telephone, email, and web chat. Quality checks are conducted on every cottage before listing to ensure photography and content standards. For guests, bookings include instant confirmation, monthly payment plans, and FlexiTrips cancellation waiver options. As part of Awaze, the platform shares infrastructure and distribution with NOVASOL and Hoseasons. **Who it's for** British domestic leisure travellers and international visitors seeking self-catering accommodation, with particular strength in family, pet-friendly, and romantic break segments. Property owners across the UK and select European destinations use it as a primary managed letting channel.
