Thanks dwtmill, that calendar looks good. The tariff table looks clear too, and I see it works well on mobile too.

Hi, We used to be in the Visit Scotland QA scheme, and used it for the first few years. It was useful to start with, I think, when we didn't have any reputation or reviews, and they also gave us some good advice when starting from scratch. We then left, and I didn't notice any effect on bookings or ...

If you're logged into the OD site, go to the calendar, click Marketing Tools and then Learn More under Website Widgets, you'll then see the HTML you...

I don't have an iphone, but tried a few emulator sites.

Booked for both Xmas & New Year, it's usually a popular time for us. Hoping for good weather this year, we had to cancel guests a couple of years ago at the last minute because the central heating had frozen solid (we couldn't get there for a few weeks because of the snow.)

Hi,

We've not had any enquiries for this autumn for quite a while now, but still have 1 week left to book in October, so looking for a way to promote that one.

We are getting about 1 enquiry a day for October 2014 though (for the Ryder Cup!)
