Re: None website bookings
Hi, I not got a website to advertise my holiday let as the garden not finish as yet 'another couple weeks' I have had a couple booking last and this year, Looking at the memberlist on this forum there more members that not got website like myself and I just wonder how they get bookings, the bookings I had have been from close family and friends, I don't really want to involve letting agency, how are members getting bookings without website or using agency. rotaman

If you have a good local tourist information office, you should get some enquiries by leaving leaflets there about your property.
However, things have moved on a lot in very recent years, and people booking in and from the UK like to be able to look at photographs and information on a website.
Setting up your own website is really not difficult if you use a website design from Promote My Place (I can give you a discount code) and it is not expensive (about £70 per year).
More than 50%of my bookings and enquiries come from an internet search, so no agent used.
Other than that, I have put occasional posters in shops local to where I live when I have had a gap that I have wanted to fill, but this is all very much like hard work and unreliable.
If you want to be able to claim small business rate relief I don't see how you can do this without either a website or an agent, and that is quite a saving for your costs that you are giving up.
