Letting your holiday home doesn’t have to mean giving up control. For many property owners in Cornwall, flexibility is key — the ability to use the property personally, set boundaries around when it’s available, and still generate income to help with running costs.

At Cornish Cottages, we specialise in flexible letting that works around you. Whether you want to let just a few weeks a year or build a more regular income stream, we’ll support your goals — without locking you into rigid contracts or one-size-fits-all arrangements.

You Choose When to Let

With us, you decide when your property is available for bookings and when it’s reserved for personal use. Whether that’s every school holiday or just the occasional week when you’re not there, we’ll tailor the calendar to suit.

No Need to Commit Year-Round

You don’t need to fill the whole year to make letting worthwhile. Even a limited number of bookings can bring meaningful income and help cover bills like insurance, maintenance and utilities. We’ll help you identify key dates with strong demand and promote your property accordingly.

Set Your Own Rules

We support a range of owner preferences — from pet-free properties and minimum age requirements, to longer minimum stays or no-children policies. You stay in control of what works for your home, and we ensure those preferences are clearly communicated to guests from the start.

Helpful, Human Support for You and Your Guests

Guests often have questions before booking — from property details to local recommendations — and our Cornwall-based team is here to help. We also handle booking confirmations, guest payments, and pre-arrival emails with directions and access instructions. During stays, guests are directed to the property caretaker for on-the-ground support, but we’re always on hand to liaise with caretakers or owners if any issues arise. It’s just one of the ways we add value as a local booking partner.

Start Small, Scale Up (or Not!)

Some owners like to test the waters with a short letting season before deciding to expand. Others prefer to keep things limited, year after year — and that’s absolutely fine. With no pressure to increase availability, you stay in charge of how your property is used.
