Re: We have a new website

Thanks for the feedback so far. The decision not to display availability is a personal but deliberate one (for a number of different reasons). I appreciate it might not be for everyone. I have removed the reference to a dynamic pricing policy. The ratings are entered manually, and easy to adjust sho...

Favour request (UK)

Hello fellow owners,

My younger son is doing a medical-based EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) and needs more survey responses from UK citizens. Would you mind completing this short survey? It only takes about 5 minutes. Thank you!!!

Creating a new website

My website is long overdue a re-haul. To be honest, I never really finished (I was over-ambitious with all the different sections I was going to have). I would like to create something much simpler - probably less than 10 pages, with the emphasis on photos, etc. I'm proficient with basic HTML having...

Thanks everyone.

My understanding is that it's get back to work if you cannot perform your duties through working from home.

What are the rules on lettings now?

A document published by the Cabinet Office stated that staying overnight at a location other than the place you live "for a holiday or other purpose is not allowed". This also includes "visiting second homes". Asked whether people could rent self-catering holiday homes in this p...

Easy to add to your own booking form.

I suspect this is the best you can do and should suffice.
That's a good idea...

Ironing services

Dear All Can anyone recommend a good quality (and affordable) ironing service in the UK? Of course, if it's local to me (south Cumbria), then so much the better... but not against a national operation if it can fulfil our needs - just wondering what is out there as I would like to give my wife a bre...

Being seen on Tripadvisor

Anyone else having trouble with being seen on Tripadvisor? We have a listing on there but when you search for available dates for our location, it returns results that do not include us (and that are not in our town, but some way outside, which is frustrating...) I can't seem to find any way of actu...

Booking.com guest not responding

Hi there We joined Booking.com recently and took our first booking through the site for guests who are due to visit quite soon. Since we do not usually welcome guests on arrival, we need the booker's postal address in order to send them a keycard and instructions so that they can gain access themsel...

For people who will book direct from your website, it will make a huge difference to bookings as it offers a standard of assurance. Will it though? There are other ways you can offer that assurance such as embedding reviews from another site... Just my opinion, but I would seriously question whethe...

Thanks... I got there with them in the end. What I can't understand is why they can't accommodate two changeover days out of season. Out of the main season, we have changeover days on Mondays and Fridays (so people can stay Mon-Fri, Fri-Mon, Mon-Mon or Fri-Fri). I was under the impression that this ...

Called Holiday Rentals today because I had a couple of queries about my listing that I wanted to renew (for example, there's a load of five star reviews I have that now say 'no rating' next to them instead of displaying the number of stars, so I want to see what that's about). After 11 minutes in a ...
