There are thousands of great holiday cottages in the UK and Ireland but finding them can be frustrating. With so many companies to look at it can take forever to search each site, filling in your details each time. Also, some smaller companies offering superb cottages are hard to track down via standard search engines such as Google, so you can miss out. One Stop Cottage is a search engine specifically for holiday cottages. It's very simple to use:

1)	Enter your search criteria on the One Stop Cottage home page (e.g. when/where you want to go)
2)	One Stop Cottage automatically searches different websites.
3)	To see the results from a company, simply click on their tab. One Stop Cottage searches five websites at a time - to get the next five results pages you simply select the 'Get results from more companies' link
4)	If you like the look of a cottage select "View cottage" and it will take you to relevant website/page. You can then find out more info or book it.
5)	You can even add cottages to a short list and email it to yourself or others to investigate later

The search functionality offered by different company web sites differs. For example, some support searching based on dates available but others do not. Also, not all companies have cottages in all areas. One Stop Cottage does its best to match what you require with what a company offers but you should view the cottage on the actual site for definitive information. See the FAQ.

For the technically minded, One Stop Cottage uses a combination of AJAX, web scraping and lots of hard work!
