Free website for holiday lets.
No Catch. No Invoice.

Airbnb and Booking.com charge 15–20% per booking. A direct booking through your own website costs you nothing in commission. A guest who stays four nights and pays £600 costs you £90–£120 in commission on Airbnb. Your website is the tool that eliminates that fee — and every direct booking it generates compounds over the life of your property.

"Dog-friendly holiday cottage [county]", "hot tub cottage [area]", "sea view holiday let [town]", "barn conversion near [attraction]" — these specific searches have real intent and far less competition than broad accommodation searches. Guests who search this specifically have already decided what they want; they just need to find the right property. Make sure yours is the one they find.

Guests book with their eyes. A holiday let with beautiful, well-lit photography of every room — the bedroom, the kitchen, the garden, the view — consistently outperforms properties with average or dark photos. If you haven't had a professional photoshoot, it's the single highest-return investment you can make. Every booking it enables pays for the shoot many times over.

Guests research on both platforms before booking. A property with strong reviews on both — ideally 4.8+ stars with 20+ reviews on each — wins bookings before competitors with fewer reviews even get a look in. After every stay, send a personal thank-you message with links to both platforms. Give guests both options and let them choose whichever is easiest.
