What goes in your guide

Cottage questions, answered once.

Finding the cottage

Lanes, gates, what3words and a photo of the turning. Signal can be patchy, so guests can open it before they set off.

Log burner & heating

Step-by-step photos for the stove, oil boiler, immersion and the thermostat everyone gets wrong.

Dogs welcome

Dog rules, towels, the muddy-boots spot, local walks and pubs that welcome dogs.

Hot tub & extras

How to use the hot tub safely, cover and chemicals, plus the do's and don'ts.

Walks & local gems

Your favourite walks, farm shops, beaches and the pub you always recommend.

Safety & emergencies

Fire exits, stopcock, fuse box, nearest A&E and who to call, always to hand.

Repeat guests

Your happiest guests are next year's easiest booking.

Cottage guests often come back to the same place. A Book again direct button at checkout makes it easy for them to come straight to you instead of searching the agencies again.

Questions

Good to know

Is Welcomly suitable for a single cottage?

Yes. Welcomly was built for independent owners. One cottage is one guide at £4.99 a month after your free 30 days.

What if guests have no phone signal at the cottage?

Send the link before arrival so guests can open it on the way, and add your Wi-Fi details so they can reconnect as soon as they arrive.

Can I use it if I let through an agency?

Yes. Your guide is just a link and a QR code, so it works however guests book. Check your agency agreement before adding direct-booking details.
