A WICKED WAY WITH WORDS

Need a holiday-cottage freelance copywriter?

19th January 2021

You’re a genius at running your holiday-cottage business. What you’re not is a holiday-cottage copywriter. Why? Well, copywriting’s time-consuming and dull and you’d probably rather snack on your own toenails.

I get it. Happily, there’s me. I’m a Manchester freelance copywriter who’s been writing holiday-cottage copy for 15 years, painting prospective guests into the picture, letting them imagine the joy of letting go of life for a few days.

Freelance copywriter – holiday cottages

Since 2005, I’ve been the freelance copywriter of choice for Kate and Tom’s upmarket holiday cottages, writing general site copy and house descriptions for spectacular holiday lets all over the UK and beyond.

Owner Michael Foster had this to say: ‘We’ve worked with Nigel for many years and he always produces just the copy we’re looking for – highly evocative writing that conveys facts with feeling. Nigel is always quick to respond and highly organised in his approach to our work. Always a pleasure to work with him.’

‘Skin in the game’

Even better, I have, as they say, ‘skin in the game’, being the owner of a holiday cottage myself in Teesdale in the North Pennines. This gives me an understanding of the sector and plenty of client empathy.

Freelance copywriting services I offer for holiday-cottage owners:

  • General site copy
  • Persuasive house descriptions
  • Research and writing around ‘things to do’
  • Geographical copy aimed at selling different areas
  • Promotional emails and sales letters
  • Holiday-let adverts
  • Holiday-let blogs
  • Taglines
  • Holiday-cottage video scripts
  • Anything else that needs writing.

Here’s a taster of my work for Kate and Tom’s:

Hearty comforts and high hills

Come to the edge of England’s most beautiful National Park. Life here in the Northern Lakes is a wholesome stew of luxury living, country walks and pubs with bulging specials boards, real ale aplenty and dogs sprawled by the fire. Climb the fells, track down the waterfalls, guzzle the biscuits from the local bakery.

Eden Valley Hall Farm sleeps 12 in the shadow of towering Cross Fell and across the Eden Valley from Blencathra, snuggling tightly against the North Pennines and its upland trails. In the quiet nearby village of Melmerby, shepherds, farmers, writers and artists sit by the Shepherds’ Inn’s well-stoked fire, quaff real ale and down hearty food.

Back at base, there’s a sense of cosy luxury that begins beneath your feet, warmed by wonderful underfloor witchcraft. The crackle of burning wood from two homely stoves adds to the wholesome comfort. Stock up on seasonal stuff from the Melmerby village store, fire up the Aga or Weber terrace barbie, feed your flock and get re-acquainted.

After dinner, pile the pots in the Bosch dishwasher, pick a wine from the cooler and convert the table into a half-size snooker table. Chuck some more wood on the fire, top up your glasses and make a night of it. Retire to deep, delicious bedding, rolltop baths, en-suite bathrooms and the peaceful silence that hangs over England’s northern hills.
