Why Working With a Local, Independent Agency Makes a Difference

When it comes to letting your holiday home, the choice of agency can make a world of difference — not just in how your property performs, but in how supported and confident you feel as an owner.

In a world dominated by online platforms and national chains, it’s easy to feel like just another listing. But there’s real value in choosing a local, independent agency — especially one that understands Cornwall, and takes the time to understand you.

We’re Local — And We Live It

At Cornish Cottages, we’re based right here in Cornwall. We know the towns, the beaches, the best seasons for bookings, and what guests are really looking for in different areas. That means we can offer realistic advice on pricing, help you stand out from the crowd, and connect you with trusted local tradespeople when needed.

A Personal Relationship

With us, you won’t be passed from department to department or held in a phone queue. We build relationships with our owners and pride ourselves on being easy to reach, honest in our guidance, and proactive in our support. Whether you let all year round or just for a few weeks, you’ll always be more than a property reference number to us.

Marketing That Fits Your Property

We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every property is unique — and we make sure that comes across in your listing, photography, and guest communication. We’ll help present your home at its best, ensuring it’s positioned for the right audience at the right time.

Flexible Letting, On Your Terms

Because we’re independent, we’re not bound by rigid contracts or fixed booking models. Whether you want to let for the whole summer or just a few select weeks, we’ll tailor a plan that works for you. And if your plans change, we’ll adapt with you.

Support From People Who Care

From help navigating business rates to recommending a reliable housekeeper, we’re here to share our knowledge and make letting simpler. It’s not just about bookings — it’s about making the process work for you.

Thinking of Letting? Let’s Talk.

If you own a holiday home in Cornwall and want friendly, expert advice on getting started — or switching from your current agent — we’d be delighted to help. No pressure, no hard sell, just honest guidance from people who care about Cornwall and its homes.
