Owner direct self-catering holiday cottages where you can simply book direct with independent holiday cottage owners.  Choose from the selection of lodges, apartments and holiday homes on Ruralhomestays.com and save on booking fees when you book direct.

 

Why Book Direct with a UK Holiday Cottage Owner?

Simply looking for owners where you can book a cottage direct in the Lake District, Kent, East Yorkshire, Wales, Scotland or elsewhere in the UK?  Booking a holiday cottage direct with the holiday home owner can be ideal for holidaymakers who don’t want to deal with a middle man or an agent.

Booking direct with a holiday cottage owner means that you are dealing with a small business direct, and as such, can negotiate direct.  Each owner or small business will have their own terms and conditions of booking and many offer online booking nowadays too where you can pay by credit card for extra security and protection.
 

 

How to Book Direct with a Holiday Home Owner?

You can use Ruralhomestays.com to search for self-catering holiday home owners that accept direct bookings.  Phone numbers are given on ads.  It’s recommended that you call owners before booking, or can book online if you prefer.
  
It’s essential to ask for full terms and conditions before booking and to also take out appropriate holiday insurance.
  
 

How to Stay Safe when Booking Accommodation Direct with a Cottage Owner?

To stay safe when booking accommodation, the best option is to simply book online via the weblink on the property ad where you can use a credit card which often offers additional protection.  Some owners (although less nowadays) accept payment by bank transfer.  If you are booking direct with an owner, follow our guidelines on staying safe when booking direct.

Although we don’t personally inspect holiday homes listed on Ruralhomestays.com, we are a long established trusted website where holidaymakers can simply deal with owners direct.  Many owners have listed with us for a number of years which adds to the trust, and we clearly display how long holiday cottages have featured on the sites.
