Information for Cottage Owners

Do you have a property that you only occasionally use? Would you like to make use of this to help generate an additional income? Have you purchased a cottage which you would like to let? If so, we are here to help.

Mulberry Cottages is part of Calcutt Maclean Standen, the well-established local firm of estate agents. We offer a real depth of local knowledge and can offer you a large web presence to ensure that your cottage will get maximum exposure to a wide audience both in the UK and abroad.

Our cottage letting service

Over the years we have gained a widespread reputation for offering a high standard of personal service as well as accomplished property marketing on your behalf. We work in partnership with you to maximise the booking potential of the property, whilst imposing very few limits on the time you have it yourself.

We take great pride in our service, and we aim to answer all your queries efficiently and punctually and provide you with a sense of confidence and security.

We will inform you of any industry changes, news and issues which may be relevant and help you to increase the interest in your cottage, and we will also help you to provide a warm welcome and comfortable accommodation which holidaymakers will find appealing.

The Market

We operate in Kent, Sussex, Suffolk and the West Country. The holiday lets market in these regions is very strong and continues to grow year-on-year; it is set to be heightened with the prospect of the Olympics in 2012.

For more information and any questions you might have you are welcome to speak to any of our knowledgeable team. Please follow the link above or click here to contact us.

Preparing Your Cottage

Our staff have plenty of helpful advice on how to prepare your cottage to best suit the market in order to ensure you receive the greatest possible return. We will come and view your property personally, so that we can speak with knowledge and assurance to holidaymakers, and answer any questions they might have.

We can offer a full furnishing service if required and if you would like a copy of our suggested inventory please let us know and we would be delighted to send it to you.

If you are a cottage owner looking to let your cottage or you are currently letting your cottage(s) via another company and are dissatisfied with the service or response, please click here to contact us to see how we could improve on this.

Marketing Programme:

Mulberry Cottages works hard at its public relations, particularly targeting the national media, with regular press releases and late availability mailings for all our cottages. In the last few months we have had articles written about our holiday cottages in The Daily Mail, The Independent, The Mail on Sunday and ‘Bricks and Mortar’ in The Times.

Advertising our Cottages across the Media

Our holiday properties are advertised regularly in the national press, holiday and leisure magazines and with the National Trust. We also regularly mail out news updates to our established base of holidaymakers.

Advertising our Cottages Online

We market our cottages on-line on our website www.mulberrycottages.com. We also pay Google to ensure our website appears under holiday cottages, and we actively pursue an advanced web market strategy, having heavily invested in our website, as well as investing in wider promotion via search engines and banner advertising. We feature a property each week on the website and our staff are happy to discuss with you the possibility of a ‘feature’ for your cottage on this.
