Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Cottage in Wales, the properties we list and how bookings work.
What is Cottage in Wales?
Cottage in Wales is an independent accommodation discovery website helping visitors find holiday cottages and other stays across Wales.
We bring together properties from accommodation providers and give you a simple way to search, explore Welsh regions and visit the provider's own booking page.
Can I book a cottage directly on this website?
No. Cottage in Wales is a discovery and comparison site. When you choose a property, the booking is completed with the accommodation provider.
The provider is responsible for availability, prices, booking terms, cancellation conditions and the accommodation itself.
Why do some links take me to another website?
Some properties and country links are supplied by accommodation providers or affiliate partners. Clicking those links may take you to the provider's website where you can check availability and book.
Does Cottage in Wales earn commission?
Yes. Some links are affiliate links. When you click an eligible affiliate link and complete a qualifying booking or transaction, Cottage in Wales may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate relationships do not change the price you pay on the provider's website.
Are the prices on Cottage in Wales guaranteed?
No. Prices and availability can change. Always check the final price, dates, availability, taxes, fees and booking conditions on the provider's website before booking.
How do I find cottages in a particular part of Wales?
Start with the cottage directory, or use the area links on the homepage. We currently highlight areas including Snowdonia and North Wales, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, the Gower, Bannau Brycheiniog and Mid Wales.
Can I travel around Wales without a car?
Yes. Rail and bus services connect many of Wales's towns and cities, and longer-distance bus services can be useful for reaching places away from the main railway lines.
For a property in a rural location, however, check the final local transport connections before booking.
What is the easiest way to get to Wales?
It depends on where you are starting and which part of Wales you are visiting. South Wales is especially well connected by the M4 and trains from London and Bristol. North Wales is well served from Chester, Liverpool, Manchester and the North West, while Mid Wales has useful road and rail links from Birmingham and the Midlands.
Our About Wales and Getting Here guide breaks this down by region and starting point.
What should I check before booking?
Check the exact address or area, travel time, parking, accessibility, pets policy, sleeping arrangements, facilities, check-in and check-out times, cancellation terms and the total booking price.
How can I contact Cottage in Wales?
For questions about the website or privacy, use the contact details provided by the site operator. For questions about a specific cottage, booking, availability or cancellation, contact the accommodation provider shown on the property's booking page.
