Well well Luke has been a busy boy! This has just come into my busineas email. So he must have googled the cottage to find my website and email address.
Not sure what his game is but may give him one of my polite replies!!
Hi, we were wondering if your property can be rented. I know it is a busy period, but maybe we can arrange something. My dates are flexible! Can you please send me a quote and a booking request so I can pay online through website if is possible.
I would appreciate if you can forward all the info to my Luke on his email address below:
luke.morgan10 @hotmail.com
👍

It would be nice to receive a genuine enquiry from the HA group (OD, VR, HA) ....something that we haven't had since the beginning of March

Actually quite topical as this week I have said goodbye to HA because of their new outrageous booking payment policy!!
The world without HA will be a far better place

We too have thought about what to do as well. But we have 20 reviews on VR alone, all 5 star, which would be a shame to lose. I think we will be switching to commission on VR and OD when our subs are up at the end of the year.
Otherwise it will be 1,000 Dollars/Pounds down the drain if we don't even get enquiries anymore (we had 15 bookings just from HA last year)...

If we all voted with our feet/fees they would suddenly change tack!
I never got a response from their sales team when I said I was leaving and my email had a question in it! They no full well they are loosing customers every second!
Stand up to them!
