Holiday cottage advertising in Cornwall

Cornwall Online has promoted holiday rental properties in Cornwall since 1994 – one of the original holiday letting websites. Advertise your holiday cottage, apartment, B&B or campsite with us and reach visitors planning a Cornish holiday, at a fraction of the cost of the big booking sites.

Your advert is a full, mobile-friendly page with your description, a photo slideshow, a location map and an enquiry form, and it appears in our town-by-town accommodation listings and holiday search. You can keep it up to date with special offers and late availability, and guests contact you directly – so you deal with them in your own way and keep all of your booking income.

We listen to each owner’s needs and keep up with new technology, so we can offer a cost-effective solution whether you are starting a new holiday let or are a well-established business looking to widen your advertising.

What our advertisers say

“We have had a great season with regards to bookings … every week has been booked. Half our bookings have been via Cornwall Online and half with Homeaway. So this system is working well for us.”
David – Mousehole
“Delighted with our bookings through you.”
Gage – St Mabyn, July 2020
“May I thank you for your efficient service, through which I receive the majority of my bookings.”
“I think the website has a nice feel to it and we are extremely grateful for all your efforts to make it so.”

The benefits of advertising with Cornwall Online

No commission

Unlike many booking sites, we take no commission from your bookings and add no charges for your guests. We are here to promote your property – and take pride in our owners’ feedback.

Free updates, no hidden charges

Update your advert at any time during your subscription at no extra cost – new photos, prices, offers or text. We aim to make changes within 24 hours of your request.

A limited number of advertisers

We deliberately limit the number of properties on Cornwall Online, so each advert gets a bigger share of the enquiries and referrals.

Search engine optimised

Every page is optimised for Google and the other search engines, and we actively monitor and update our pages to keep them ranking – bringing more visitors to your advert.
