Staycate Direct is a one stop shop for holiday cottages in the UK – where you can book direct with verified owners!
We take the risk out of booking by ensuring that all our owners and properties are verified. All our owners have their own websites, booking systems and can take direct bookings. We are owners ourselves and are striving to improve the guest experience, and give all our guests, past and future, peace of mind.
What’s more we provide this as a free service to both hosts and guests – no commissions or hidden fees.
Currently we only list properties in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Choose a country below to browse it’s cottages. Alternatively if you’re open to any area but are looking for a specific feature, like a Hot Tub or Dog Friendly feel free to browse our collection
Yes. We make no charges to either guests or owners, though we do have a donation system to support our advertising costs
We are an introduction service – introducing guests to verified owners. We have no involvement in the contract. You will be bound by the owners Terms and Conditions as stated on their own website.
We ensure that the properties are what they say they are by only accepting them if we can:
We will also check against known scammers lists and google.
Whilst we do everything we can to ensure that all our listings are accurate and verified we do recommend that:
ALL of our owners have websites, booking systems and most have online payment facilities. That is an awful lot of effort for a scammer to go to! Most just advertise on social media
Any complaints should be taken up with owners during the stay. However if you believe that the property has been misrepresented or the owner has behaved in an unprofessional manner please let us know. We will investigate and remove the listing if we find that the owner has broken the terms of their listing account.
