| Does it cost anything to use? | No! Searching for cottages is absolutely free |
| Can I book cottages online? | One Stop Cottage is purely a search engine that links you to holiday cottage providers. Most, if not all providers provide online bookings |
| Why did you make One Stop Cottage? | After spending many frustrating hours on numerous websites typing in the same information in order to find the ideal cottage |
| Why not just use Google? | Google is brilliant for general search but One Stop Cottage is focused entirely on holiday cottages so is more advanced at collating and presenting relevant results |
| What web browsers does it work in? | It's been tested on Internet Explorer 5.5+, Firefox 1.0+, Opera 8+ and Safari 3+. Basically it should work on the majority of browsers. If not then let us know |
| Can I search for cottages in other countries? | At the moment One Stop Cottage is limited to the UK and Ireland. If there's enough demand to expand this then further countries may be added in the future |
| How can I improve my website's prominence in the search results? | See the advertising section |
| Can I feature my specific cottage prominently? | See the advertising section |
| Can I feature my specific cottage prominently? | See the advertising section |
| Why does it not include results from site X? | Special code needs to be written for searching each different site which takes time. You can request that a certain company be included and we'll do our best |
| Why does the amount of information shown in the results vary between companies? | It simply reflects what's available on the search results page of that particular company |
| Why can't I specify more criteria such as being near the beach? | Because One Stop Cottage draws on so many websites with varying search functionality it has to use the "lowest common denominator" criteria supported by the majority of sites |
| I entered a date and when I click on a cottage for more info it is not available for that date | Unfortunately not all sites support "availability searching" but it would be a shame not to include them in the results. If this is the case then a warning is shown |
| I searched for cottages in X but the results from some companies are located in Y! | Because different websites handle location differently when searching One Stop Cottage sometimes has to do the best it can. For example, some sites allow you to search for Cornwall but others are less precise and you have to search for the South West |
