    No problem we really understand our customers and our property owners need to reach their target audience. We recognise that some properties appeal to multiple markets and also can straddle two geographical areas, which is why for example you could be listed for couples and also be family friendly if you accept young babies or are located in the Western Isles but are not technically an island. We want you to be found.

    For five years we had been with one of the UK most prestigious (and expensive) holiday letting agencies and in late 2019 we had decided to go it alone with our own website and Google Ads. Having spent roughly £800 a month with Google and received no bookings we turned to Jackie and Best Scottish Cottages. It was the best decision we have ever made…..

    We unreservedly recommend Best Scottish Cottages to anyone considering the marketing and promotion of their self-catering cottage.
