Five small, independent cottage rental providers have been voted the best in the UK by holidaymakers.
All of the firms at the top have fewer than 1,500 properties, while some of the country's biggest cottage rental companies failed to even make the top 10 in a survey, Wales Online reports. The Landmark Trust - a charity that restores old, historical buildings and transforms them into holiday rentals - came out on top.
Travellers said the company offered 'memorable' and 'unique' holiday experiences. Family-run firm Classic Cottages was voted into second place, as guests appreciated the 'beautiful' locations and high standard of customer service on offer.
