Why Join Premier Cottages
Established over a decade ago, Premier Cottages is unique - an association of members solely marketing independently owned 5 and high 4 star luxury self-catering holiday cottages in Great Britain and Ireland. It exists to promote its members' interests, not to make profit. This means:

-
Customers book direct with members
-
Membership is based on quality, not willingness to pay for advertising space
-
Members are in control of their cottages and their income
Our aim is:
-
For owners to maximise their income
-
To ensure we provide the highest quality self-catering holiday accommodation and customer care
-
To maintain the quality of our brand by recruiting like minded owners with 5 and high 4 star cottages
