Cottage names have a long tradition: the plant by the door, the old trade of the house, the view from the lane. They work best when they sound like the place has always been called that.

Tips for naming your cottage
Look at the garden
Roses, ivy, foxgloves and apple trees have named cottages for centuries. They still work.
Use the history
If it was the old post office or the miller’s house, say so. Guests love a name with a story.
Don’t overdo the charm
One charming word is enough. “Ivy Cottage” is lovely; “The Enchanted Ivy Hideaway Cottage” is too much.
Check it is free everywhere
Before you order signs or cards, check the name on Instagram, as a web domain and on gstl.ink. Every name above has a Check button for gstl.ink.
Questions hosts ask
What are traditional cottage names based on?
Usually plants (Rose, Ivy, Honeysuckle), the house’s old use (Mill, Forge, Old Post Office), or the landscape (Meadow, Brook, Hollow).
Can I rename a cottage?
For your rental, yes: the name guests see is up to you. Official address changes depend on your country’s rules, so keep the legal address as it is and use the new name in your listing and signs.
How do I know if a name is taken?
Tap “Check” next to a name to see if gstl.ink/<name> is free, and search Instagram and the web domain as well.
