About cottage holidays with Welcome

Around a quarter of a million people enjoy a Welcome Cottage Holiday every year. That's no mean feat in today's ever more competitive climate, and during a period when many other holiday companies are suffering stagnant or even declining growth.

Located in a Lancashire village, and set in a historic, converted textile mill, Welcome Holidays is thriving, with an impressive portfolio to date of over 3500 cottages throughout the UK, Ireland and France. The company has an admirable level of year on year growth and is proud of its achievement in becoming the UK's largest and fastest growing independent cottage holiday letting agency.

New cottages and villas are recruited daily by an experienced team of regional managers based all over the UK, Ireland and France (and more recently Spain, Italy and Portugal). Cottages can be viewed inside and out on this website, and Welcome's unique cottage holiday reservations system means that their friendly holiday advisors can confirm immediate countrywide availability, and match customers needs with just the right cottage for them - literally at the press of a button.

There really is no special secret to Welcome's success though, just a common sense mix of enthusiastic and caring local staff, an honest and fair attitude to both customers and cottage owners, and a genuine policy of offering best quality at best prices. In fact, one of the most common queries we field on reception from new enquirers is "is that price per person?" When they find the selling price is for the cottage, rather than per person they are often amazed at the value available.

Good prices are not achieved by compromising on the product. As a customer, you will be urged to complete your customer satisfaction questionnaire, which asks you to grade every element of your holiday experience, from the brochure description to each room in your cottage. By collating tens of thousands of these each year we can spot any issues at an early stage, and remedy them before they become a problem.

Welcome are pleased to have built a mutually successful working relationship with quality cross-channel suppliers such as P&O, Hoverspeed, Brittany Ferries and Eurotunnel. Combined with the commitment and effort of our many cottage owners, it all adds up to a winning recipe you're urged to try.
