• Sue of Stonebarrow Manor in Dorset wrote on the 10th October 2004: Our thanks for all the enquiries sent on by you and the huge sucess of our advertising with you. We are full to bursting this year and for well over half of next. Corporate groups seem to be picking up on our size and location being perfect for small group training sessions and so midweek bookings are on the up.
• William Tilley of Walkers Farm Cottages in Somerset wrote on the 8th October 2004: Ps on our web stats your site is the one proving to have most visits after the main search engines of google and yahoo.
• Alison and Roger Oliver of Beach Cottage in Jaywick Sands, Essex, wrote on the 4th April 2004 As newcomers to holiday letting and the advertising that goes with it, we're very grateful to have come across Country Cottages Online. Christina has been a ever-available source of information and guidance, with the patience of a Saint amidst a torrent of emails and phone calls. As a result of your help we're now getting calls from people who know we exist, which is what it's all about. Thank you for providing a superb service.
• Richard Copus of Stoodley Barn in Devon wrote on 31st March 2004: Now fully booked for August..... thanks for such a good website.
• Robert Lewis of the Granary (new property) in Manningtree, Essex writes on the 4th January 2004
  Thank you for this enquiry (yes I have replied direct) plus all of the others over the past 6 months. We have done no other advertising at all and, on the basis of the first half year, we should easily reach an occupancy of 30 weeks for our first year. We thought we may get about 10 days of bookings over the Christmas period, in fact we have had 6 bookings totalling 22 days all apparently preparing for, recovering from or celebrating something to do with the time of year. Tough but profitable! Thank you for your contribution - we could not have done it without you. Very Best Wishes for a happy and Prosperous New Year.
