what makes these property types unique?

Policy Powerhouse

Cottages used as holiday homes or lets present unique challenges that differ from standard properties. This includes managing the risks associated with seasonal use, which can lead to wear and tear during peak rental periods, and increased vulnerability during unoccupied periods, such as leaks or pest infestations. Additionally, there are guest-related risks, including liability for injuries or damages caused by paying or non-paying guests. Standard insurance often falls short in addressing these issues, which is why our specialist holiday let insurance for cottages is designed to provide comprehensive protection for your cottage, ensuring financial security.

DOn't leave yourself open to claims

It’s always better to be safe and fully covered in the event that something goes wrong. This ensures you and your guests are covered for any damages that occur on the property and means that you can continue to earn money from your holiday let property even if it can’t operate as intended. If holiday let insurance isn’t what you’re after, we do offer other insurance products such as insurance for airbnb, commercial property insurance and insurance for unoccupied properties.
