Booking

Duck Cottage is offered for rental through agents (VRBO, HomeAway, Holiday Lettings, TripAdvisor and Airbnb), or directly to me, the owner, via this website. I’d be happy to see you at Duck Cottage through either booking method – you just need to decide what’s best for you.

Method 1 – Book through an agent

Pros:  security and comfort offered by booking with a trusted and globally recognised company such as Airbnb, Holiday Lettings, Booking.com, HomeAway, FlipKey, House Trip, VRBO and Niumba.  Duck Cottage has been available for rent through these agents for more than 10 years, with over 200 bookings made.  It is also easy to make secure online payments to make a reservation.

Cons: agents will charge you around 15% on top of the rates I set with them as a booking fee, which is not passed on to me, and is not always immediately apparent until you approach the end of the booking process on their websites.

Search for Duck Cottage in Kilrenny or Anstruther on any of those named agents, and you can check availability, browse guest reviews or make a booking through one of these agents.

Method 2 – Book with me (and save up to 15%)

With verifiable reviews from hundreds of happy guests from over 10 years of letting out Duck Cottage, and multiple TripAdvisor Certificates of Excellence and AirBNB Superhost awards, you can be assured that booking directly with me will be a simple, secure and trustworthy experience.

Pros: Save yourself 15% or more on the agent published prices and deal directly with me.  Secure payment can be easily arranged through direct bank transfer or PayPal debit and credit card payments.

Cons: none, really.  I apply the same cancellation policies as the agents, and you are dealing with a real person – the owner!  I can also PRICE MATCH anything the agents have on offer.

For bookings more than one month in advance, a non-refundable booking fee of 25% of the rental price is taken to reserve Duck Cottage.  The balance, plus a £40 cleaning fee and £100 refundable security deposit is due 30 days prior to your Arrival Date.  All being well, the £100 security deposit will be refunded in full within 14 days of the end of your stay.

For bookings less than a month away, the full rental price is due at the time of booking, plus the £100 refundable security deposit and the £40 cleaning fee.
