Keep the booking. Keep the commission.
Direct bookings on your own website for one cottage or a dozen — with the changeover admin, guest emails and money chasing handled for you.
The changeover-day problem.
One set of guests has left, the next arrive at four, and a balance is still outstanding. The welcome folder in the property is out of date. And every booking that arrived through a listing site has already given up a percentage. This is precisely the work software should be handling.
The same booking, worth twenty percent more.
Guests search your availability, book and pay on your own website — with a checkout that works properly on a phone. Keep listing wherever the listings earn their keep, but the guests who find you directly, and the ones who come back, stay yours.
- Live availability and instant confirmation on your own site
- No commission and no per-booking fees
- Payments into your own merchant account
- External calendar sync via iCal keeps your other listings in step
Changeover day, organised
See who is leaving, who is arriving and what needs turning around — on your phone, wherever you are, always current.
Damage deposits without dispute
Held by pre-authorisation rather than taken, released automatically after your inspection window, and charged against only with evidence.
Changeovers that don't rely on your memory.
Per-property calendars with changeover-day rules, so back-to-back bookings only happen when you can service them. Cleaning and turnaround work is visible to whoever does it, without a chain of messages on a changeover morning.
- Per-property calendars with changeover rules and minimum stays
- Turnaround and cleaning visibility between stays
- Arrival and departure lists for any day
- Blocked dates for owner use and maintenance
Guest information, sent at the right moment.
Booking confirmation, pre-arrival directions and key instructions, a balance reminder, and a follow-up requesting a review. Guests have their own portal for the details, so questions about wifi codes and arrival times stop arriving by text at inconvenient hours.
- Automated emails from confirmation to review request
- Deposits at booking, balances chased automatically
- Guest portal for payments, documents and details
- VAT-ready, accountant-friendly reporting and exports
Common questions from owners
We have one cottage. Is this too much?
Not if you are doing the administration yourself. Core is priced for small operators, and one property's chasing, changeovers and guest questions still amounts to an evening a week.
Will this replace my listing sites?
It doesn't have to. Most owners keep the listings that genuinely bring new guests and use direct booking for everyone else — particularly repeat guests, on whom you are currently paying commission more than once.
How do you stop double bookings across sites?
External calendar sync via iCal, so dates booked elsewhere block here as well. We will explain what iCal can and cannot do before you commit; we are not selling a channel manager.
Can my cleaner see what's needed?
Yes — turnaround visibility between stays, with staff access on the Pro plan for people who need their own login rather than a message from you.
What happens to my existing bookings?
Your bookings come with you. Migration is part of setup: bookings, guests and rates imported, checked against your records, before you go live.
