Unlock the Potential of Your Holiday Home
Unique Cottages are an independent, Scottish-owned company, based in the pretty Scottish Borders and specialising solely in Scotland. Established in 1994, we have over 25 years of experience in holiday letting and pride ourselves on our personal service that sees our cottage owners stay with us year after year. We even have some that have been with us since the very beginning!
Every property on our portfolio is handpicked and we only take on properties we know will appeal to our guests and that we can let successfully. There are no hidden or up-front costs and our commission-only approach means that we are paid by results, with bookings being as much our priority as they are yours. To be considered for addition to our portfolio:
Householder's Deposit
Real People on Hand
Secure Owner Portal
Global Marketing Reach
Local Representative
Clear, Transparent Pricing
Our pricing structure is property specific and is responsive to the fluctuating needs of the market. It is agreed with you in partnership and is intended to be as clear and transparent as possible.
Built into our website is an additional, refundable householder’s deposit on every booking that protects you against any potential damage. This is held by Unique Cottages during the guests’ stay and is returned to them at the end of their stay if they have left the property in good order.
We can provide you with a detailed income and occupancy projection prior to joining us so you can clearly see how we can optimise your income.
Getting You the Right Guests
Many of our guests holiday with us annually and some even choose to return to the same cottage year after year.
Not every property suits every guest and not every guest suits every property so we use targeted marketing to ensure that we attract the right people for you. We also always encourage our guests to enjoy Scotland’s unspoilt beauty responsibly.
As a company we support sustainable tourism and help preserve the character and charm of local communities by carefully selecting our properties and spreading our portfolio out across the country.
Supplementary Services
Our friendly, dedicated Booking Team handle all bookings and guest queries, so you can relax safe in the knowledge that your property is being well looked after. Our Property Team is also on hand to answer any questions you may have, whether you are brand new to holiday letting or have been doing it yourself for years.
As well as taking all of the administration work off your shoulders, we offer additional services such as support with sourcing reliable, local help to look after your property. This is something that is key to the success of any holiday home.
Our annual property inspections give you peace of mind and offer valuable feedback on health and safety requirements and regulatory compliance. High quality, professional photography helps to showcase your house’s best features and allows guests to picture themselves there before they book.
'Unique Cottages have always been very efficient in every aspect. Don't forget to book your own property well in advance for your own use otherwise it will already have gone!'
