Been with them a couple of years on their Bookdirect system.
Works well and only costs £30 ish per booking.
Nice team at Brittany Ferries to contact as well - real people.
And you get 20% off any Brittany Ferries you book for yourselves.
Average 4-5 bookings per season which is not bad, unfortunately still most of our other bookings come via OD

If you have more than 1 property they do allow you to mix between pay per booking & a paid listing. I pay for our largest property to be listed which entitles me to offer the 20% discount to all my clients plus £75 off a crossing for us each year. Our other 3 properties are "quickbook" pay per booking either way you dont lose control all monies are paid to you. I have been with them for a while now, great customer service would highly recommend.

Anyone who is looking for other places to advertise, Holiday France Direct (the gite booking part of Brittany Ferries) are offering an incentive to new advertisers, and the person who recommended them.
For a month both of you get a free crossing (out of high season) If anyone can benefit from this or wants to know more about them (we've been with them for 5 years) I'm happy to help.

Last year we got two bookings through Holiday France Direct. It was otherwise a pretty dead year - we only got one booking from TA/HL, and a 4 week booking through word-of-mouth. So, Holiday France Direct helped save the day. And, as mentioned earlier, they are relatively inexpensive with their flat rate. The only thing that I don't like is that it appears that you have to advertise the prices in pounds. I would much rather set the price in Euros - as I do on the other sites.
