Ask a Property Expert ...
A recently asked question:
"I have a small stone cottage with sea views that could sleep 4 however my second bedroom can't really fit twin beds. How would you recommend I maximize my chances of earning more by saying my cottage can sleep 4 rather than 3?"
Our response was:
"Excellent question, thank you. We recommend that you buy a 5ft zip and link bed which means you could either split them and sleep two children or zip them and sleep two adults."

| Potential | If you are considering the potential of owning a holiday home then you will have put a good deal of thought into the type of product that you want to provide for your guests. Like any other business, the more effort that you make, the larger your rewards will be. That is why we have a comprehensive package of information and advice for all owners relating to the presentation and management of their property. We won’t teach you how to suck eggs ... we will show you how to maximise your income potential and achieve guest satisfaction levels, ensuring excellent repeat trade. |
| Location | You have already chosen Cornwall so are well on the way to being part of one of the favourite destinations in the UK. You may however want advice on which areas let best or what to expect from your existing property’s location. Buying a property in the right area could make the difference between failure and success; we have experience and data from hundreds of holiday homes and will work with you to ensure that you are fully aware of the county hot spots and current trends in our sector. If your current marketing solution is not meeting your expectations we will give you honest feedback on what we think you could be achieving and how we can work together to reach new targets. |

“ I contacted Cornish Cottage Holidays at the very beginning of the process when the cottage we were purchasing was a shell.
Janine was very encouraging and believed it would turn into a comfortable and interesting property. Her insight at that stage was amazing as we had a job to even see anything in what is now a lovely light and airy living space. Her enthusiasm made the project such a pleasure and her photographs of the property are a great asset. We are over the moon with our first season. Thank you to all at Cornish Cottage Holidays for that.
The information that Cornish Cottage Holidays gave us to assist with the requirements was very comprehensive and coming from a design background myself I enjoyed the challenge of designing a complete interior from scratch.
Everyone I have had the pleasure to meet or spoken to on the telephone has always been polite, very helpful and always reply to any queries efficiently.
I carried out quite a lot of research looking into various letting agents but found that the Cornish Cottage Holiday website had the clearest booking page - instantly you can see which weeks have or have not been booked.
The booking staff will phone if there are any queries or special requests from customers and give their opinion as to whether they think it is reasonable. ”
