Introducing My Account
Say hello to your own space on cottages.com. My Account is a place where you can save your favourite properties, access and download booking details, make holiday payments and much more. It’s open right now, so you can pay a visit and start exploring today.
In the meantime here’s brief breakdown of some of the features you can enjoy with My Account…
Create an account / Facebook login
Most of us have too many passwords to remember, but don’t worry, with My Account you can create a profile and login with your existing Facebook account. Then you can head over to your wall and show off your brilliant booking to your friends. It couldn’t be simpler.
View your bookings
Whether counting down the days to your next escape or reminiscing over brilliant breaks of the past, access details of all your bookings in My Account. Find booking confirmation, direction and arrival details and all the info you need for an amazing escape.
Edit UK bookings
We know people change their minds all the time. So we’ve made it extra easy to amend your UK booking using My Account. Not sure if you need extra logs for the fire? Can’t decide whether to have a hot tub and a private chef? No problem. Let the owner know by amending your booking online. Includes names, ages and number of pets in your party too!
Make payments
While we love chatting on the phone, it’s often easier for you to do things like pay off your balance online. Make a payment, part payment or set up a regular schedule of debits within My Account. Then you can concentrate on the fun things of holiday preparation: how many bottles of wine is too many anyway?
See when your balance is due
Don’t worry about remembering when your final balance is due. With My Account you get a nice big banner which tells you the date of your payment, any payment schedules you’ve set up and all the other info you need.
View and share holiday confirmations
With My Account you can email your fellow holidaymakers and share the good news when your booking has been made. Any updates and amends can also be sent to your party – so no more hassling texts or emails from your nearest and dearest.
Add holiday dates to your calendars
We’ve made it really easy to tell people you’re going away by allowing you to automatically add your holiday dates to calendars on your devices.
Holiday Countdown
You don’t need us to tell you that you have less than a week until your holiday. But we’ve added a countdown anyway. You’re welcome.
Google Maps and Street View
Once you’ve paid off your balance you will obtain Google Maps and Street View details for your property. Plan your route and gaze longingly at your holiday home until the big day arrives.
Save Searches
Looking for a dog-friendly, coastal property with hot tub and gym this summer? How about a sleeps-20 mansion in the Scottish Highlands? Save all your favourite searches for future use in My Account. We add new properties all the time, so who knows what amazing escapes you might find next time?
Save Shortlist
You no longer need to worry about breaking your bookmarks, with my Account you can save and share up to 12 properties for 30 days. Because it’s linked to your account you can access it across all your devices. That just leaves the choice of which one to enjoy. (Decisions, decisions…)
Pre-populate
Few things wear away enthusiasm like filling in form after form after form. With My Account you can pre-populate the booking journey with your details. There’s no quicker way to reserve your perfect escape.
