Some good news for a change.
Well they may be rarer than hens teeth, but I've had a few (albeit tentative) enquiries via a start up listing with The Holiday Let over the past couple of years. And then, only yesterday after exchanging a couple of uncensored informational emails with an enquirer, a genuine, real life booking!
I'm not naive enough to think that the floodgates will now open but one is better than none & shows me that some folk are genuinely looking (& booking) at alternative listing sites outside of the monopolies. All of the alternatives will need time & support but hats off to them for sticking at it. And hats off to me for playing the long game - I am genuinely surprised at how cheerful a single avant-garde booking has made me this morning!

This time next year Rodney, we'll be millionaires.
Weird, after being on there for about a year now, I got my first enquiry (which resulted in a booking) just a few days ago!
My stats every month do show that people are viewing my page and clicking on my website link, but its always nice to get that enquiry/booking proving that there are genuine people booking holidays through the site.
