I changed my category to Holiday Flat to see what would happen. I do appear as a dot on the map but still not in the listings. So not really worth doing :(

Google my business

Google seems to have changed this very recently as my site which was classified as Self Catering Accommodation always appeared at the top of the search results which accompanied the map when searching for "holiday cottage" and the name of the village. But now when using that search term Go...

Hi Lemontree, I am new to all this and also in Norfolk! We are just about ready to start marketing our cottage in Mundesley, will hopefully be in time for some summer bookings but I'm being realistic that it may be slow this year. At least that will give me time to get to grips with things. We are g...

Thank you Essar.

I cannot see those in my dashboard so presumably I will do once I put my ad live? Does seem very strange!

Everything is ready to go live I'm just waiting for a nice sunny day to take some photos now. Given the current weather situation its not looking very likely this week!

Thank you. Are these options only available once you have put your listing live? As I can't see them at the moment while I'm setting it up.

Airbnb, confused!

I am setting up an Airbnb ad and getting very confused!

On other ads I have seen they have check in, check out times, minimum stay but there is nowhere that I can see where to specify these.

Am I being dim?! If someone could help me please that would be fantastic.

Towel size

Random question!

What size towels do you provide - bath towels or bath sheets? and with a hand towel?

Weebly or Promote My Place?

I am trying to decide which of these to use for my website. I'm not very technical so I need something simple to use! I really like the look of the Weebly templates, more so than Promote my Place. But I have read many good things about PMP on here in terms of ease of use. How easy is Weebly to use f...

Newbie in Norfolk

We are in the process of buying our first holiday let on the Norfolk Coast and I am just getting to grips with things and have to say this forum has been so helpful already. The property is already run as a holiday let and the previous owners have been successful using an agency and airbnb, however ...
