I did a google search on my desktop for Cottages on Skye, and the top one was Unique Cottages, apparently they only deal with places in Scotland, so I thought I would ask if anyone here has had any dealings with them. I was advertising my website on the Cottage Guide but don’t think I have had any bookings through them, so I am looking for another as my contract is going to expire tomorrow and Unique Cottages has quite a nice website.
I also advertise on other sites.

Same here, I had one enquiry a few months ago which came to nothing.rosebud wrote:Sorry no experience of Unique Cottages but also regrettably gave up with Cottage Guide after having been them for several years, following 12 months with no bookings

Unique Cottages only operate in Scotland at the moment. I think I will give them a try as they only charge commission.

I have heard about them, I think I may have contacted them in the past but cannot be sure. It seems quite expensive. Most of my bookings come direct through my website and I adverise on IsleofSkye.com and Walk Higlands both of which are subscription only both less than £100. Also on ABB, HA and TripAdvisor of whichABB gives most results, but only for short breaks. I am looking for the most coverage for the smallest outlay!zebedee wrote:Are you on Independent Cottages? I joined after reading about them on the forum. I was worried as youpay them to set up your advert the first year, but it is a good site that brings in bookings.
