### 4/5 — The Wain House

*2026-06-17*

We stayed in The Wain House for five nights arriving on Saturday 6th June.  Stepping through the old rustic doorway entrance lay a hidden gem.  The accommodation was spotlessly clean, it was bright and stylish, tastefully decorated with quality furnishings, bedding and toiletries. On the dining room table there were fresh cut flowers and in the kitchen, there were some provisions left by the Owners for our stay.  It was our first time holidaying in Shropshire and The Wain House was ideally located for visiting Ludlow.

### 3/5 — Sandra

*2026-04-29*

Trying to look for property to rent in Cornwall but finding it difficult to find in certain areas of Cornwall.  Also, cannot always get price to show for certain dates.  Click on check availability but then site just freezes, I can only get dates available but no prices.  Doesn’t always go back to previous page.  Does app show properties to rent on a map one can click on in particular  area?  Otherwise good descriptions given for properties.

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2026-04-13*

On home fast broadband and just getting login issues with white screens and popups which appear for 1/2 second then vanish…. Assuming you’re doing some sort of web authentication but I think the App is fighting back!!! 🙂

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-10-27*

Not being very technical I was dubious but its so user friendly, easy and quick to use, we book our holidays through holiday cottages anyway and this will just make it easir

### 5/5 — Easy peasy

*2025-10-27*

Amazing app, very easy to use, fast efficient booking of a property & location to suit our needs.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-08-22*

Really easy to use giving clear details, easy booking and great to have all  information in one place

### 4/5 — Review thoughts

*2025-08-16*

Easy to download and very easy to use. Liked the layout as I could see at a glance the properties that met my criteria. Big thumbs up

### 5/5 — Great improvement on previous booking site

*2025-08-14, version 1.1.4*

At last there is a map that shows exactly where the properties are in the location you’re looking at just like Booking.com etc.
Previously you had to find the name of the property and google its location, so much easier now.
Also it remembers your search and you don’t need to input the details again.
Great improvement.

### 4/5 — App rating

*2025-08-12*

App is fairly good but there needs to be additional options on filters. For example washing machine, dish washer parking but with an option for how many cars.

### 5/5 — Super easy to use

*2025-08-07*

Really simple to use. I managed to find the cottage holiday I wanted and book really easily. I can also manage the booking so it’s perfect for having all my holiday information in one place! Superb 👏

### 5/5 — Easy peasy

*2025-07-21*

Super easy to find my holiday. I especially love the map feature which made it easier to search by location. Lots of lovely ideas for my next stay.

### 1/5 — Impossible to logon

*2026-08-03*

Every time I try to login it says my details are incorrect. So I have to go through the forgot password process again, but today, it won’t even send me the reset password email. The app is so poor, I won’t use the company again no matter how good the holiday turns out (if we ever get there)

**Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your review and feedback. We have been making some improvements to how login works in the background so hopefully this has since fixed the issue for you. We appreciate you trying our app and services and we hope you will reconsider using us again in the future.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-07-24*

Booking ls screen takes several minutes to load or does not load. Unable to use explore function to view other properties as screen is blank

### 1/5 — Where’s my wishlist?

*2025-10-25, version 1.1.7.1*

I will go back to using the website as the app appears to have no wish list feature. Unless I’m missing something? In which case, hardly progress!

### 1/5 — Needs work.

*2025-10-11, version 1.1.6*

Looking for a cottage on the Isle of Wight. Every cottage I tapped on, it displayed somewhere totally different. It wasn’t even the cottage either side, so clumsy thumbs not to blame.

### 1/5 — Stuck on first page

*2025-07-20, version 1.1.1*

Downloaded three times now, accepted all cookies then stuck on first page

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2026-08-17*

The app is quite buggy, it often doesn't load pages or pictures. Logging in sometimes just leads to a blank page. No really slick enough for holiday bookings.

### 2/5 — Notifications

*2026-06-25*

So I had a notification that I cannot get rid of on my home screen. I have deleted and reinstalled the app twice and it’s still there! So annoying as I like a tidy home screen! I have now deleted the app which is disappointing but I could not find out at all what the notification was!

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thank you for your review and feedback. We are happy to report that this issue has been addressed in the latest update. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

We hope you will try our app again in the future.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2026-01-09*

This app is frustrating as some pretty key features don’t work properly:
- For some reason I am only able to filter prices up to a certain limited amount.
- The wish list feature is temperamental. Sometimes it doesn’t load the saved properties. Then it only seems to have saved up to 10 and has deleted previously saved properties which is somewhat frustrating.

### 3/5 — Dodgy reviews for cottages

*2026-07-17*

The app itself I have found easier to use than the website so far. Although, I am quite annoyed that my recent, not entirely positive, review I left for a cottage I had stayed in was published with just my name and no. of stars given (3). The paragraph including the reasons I was not entirely satisfied was not published. Not fair at all for future bookers of that cottage or any future bookings I make now I know that this is how it’s done. I will now know what a blank review with just a star score suggests.

### 3/5 — Unable to view account

*2026-06-06, version 1.8.0*

When I go to account then sign in it asks me do I want to use auth.holidaycottages.co.uk to sign in, when I press continue it just goes to a blank screen, so far I’m unable to access my recent booking.

### 5/5 — Great Site!

*2026-07-23, version 1.11.1*

Literally found this website by accident! We use two other well known sites for our holidays within the U.K., but since we adopted two dogs, after our little old man passed away in 2024, we’ve found it harder to find locations willing to take two dogs. After searching, two properties we found weren’t totally suitable, then holidaycottages.co.uk popped up in my Google feed! My mother is old, and in poor health, so ideally needs everything on a ground floor. She was adamant we go away for Christmas and new year 26/27 as a family (we lost my MIL in 2024) and we found the perfect spot for me, my husband, our two puppers and my mother. I’m sure it will be the perfect Christmas and new year!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-06-25*

We use holiday cottages twice a year and always have a fabulous stay. The cottages are clean and tidy and are well equipped. They keep you well informed with your booking I wouldn’t use any other company

### 5/5 — Good Memories

*2026-05-28, version 1.8.0*

I have used holidaycottages.co.uk for many years and have found every cottage/house that I have stayed in to be comfortable, well equipped and has given me plenty of treasured memories

### 5/5 — Happy Days

*2026-05-24, version 1.8.0*

Regularly used holiday company

### 5/5 — Hopefully our happy place

*2026-05-12*

We are yet to stay, booked in for August 2026, but Holiday Cottages have been brilliant so far. Really looking forward to our holiday.

### 5/5 — The Fox at Badger Brook

*2026-01-12*

Easy app to use, fantastic accommodation to choose from, exellent prices, we are visiting soon as part of a present for my daughters wedding, can’t wait looks absolutely brilliant.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-12-20, version 1.2.1*

Great app. Easy to use. Nice to browse

### 5/5 — Simple to use

*2025-10-27, version 1.1.7.1*

Very easy to find your perfect holiday cottage in the countryside & towns

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-10-27*

Selecting a County then browsing through likely properties for us was easy.
Lots of information on each property.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-10-27*

Good app easy to use plenty of search options. Had a look through a few areas and it gave plenty of choices. Will definitely use it to book next years holiday when we confirm the weeks we want.
