Our client wanted to conduct telephone interviews lasting 15-30 minutes with UK-based self-contained holiday home owners who had advertised them for rent on various online platforms such as Airbnb, Sykes Cottages and Cottage Stay UK. The aim of the research was to understand preferences and dissatisfaction with existing platforms, and gain a general insight into the holiday home rental industry.
We initially began by recruiting from our panel, and then turned to a free find approach when the criteria for interviewees changed during the course of the research. We successfully recruited 17 respondents in this niche market and our research was an input to a decision by two leading brands to buy out a major holiday home rental platform.

We reached out to FieldworkHub after another firm told us they were not able to keep their commitment. Not only did Caroline respond to my email almost immediately, she picked up the phone and talked to me about my needs. Her team was super responsive and flexible, getting our work completed on time and budget. I highly recommend working with them and will absolutely be reaching out the next time I am conducting work in Europe.
I want to express my appreciation for the team’s effort on this project. Wanessa, especially, went above and beyond in the past week in communicating with both our team and the researchers on the ground.
