How booking direct with an owner works, what we do and don’t do, and what listing your own property involves.
Everything about finding a home here and booking it direct with its owner.
We’re a curated directory, not a booking site. Browse by destination, find a home you like, then follow the link to the owner’s own website. From there you deal with the owner directly — enquiry, booking, payment and any questions.
No. We never take a commission or a booking fee on a stay. Booking direct avoids the agency fees that standard holiday-let platforms add, which can reach 35%.
The owner, always. We do not handle, hold or process booking payments, deposits or refunds. Your contract is with the owner, under their terms and cancellation policy — please read those before you pay anything.
It means we have selected the property for inclusion based on how it is presented on its own website. It does not mean we have visited, inspected or vetted it, and it is not a guarantee of standard or condition.
Details come from the owner or their own website and can change without notice. Always confirm current availability, pricing and facilities directly with the owner before booking or paying anything.
The full directory unlock is £5.95 for 30 days’ viewing — every home, each with a direct link to the owner’s own website. It does not auto-renew, and there is never a fee on the booking itself.

A paid promotional placement taken by the property owner. It reflects that placement only — it is not a quality judgement and does not rank a property above any other.
