Direct booking websites for holiday lets

directbook.uk builds one-off websites for UK self-catering holiday let owners. Each site costs £1,999 as a single one-time payment, with no platform commission on your bookings. The design handles weekly changeovers, short breaks and repeat guests, and plugs into your existing freetobook or eviivo account. Every build includes 2 revisions and a 3-month warranty.

How holiday lets differ from B&Bs online

Guests book holiday lets differently from B&B rooms. They stay for a week or a long weekend, not one night. They check the changeover day, whether linen and towels are included, how the heating works, where to park, and whether the cottage sleeps the whole party comfortably. Repeat bookings matter more, because families return to the same cottage year after year.

A holiday let website needs to answer all of that before the guest picks up the phone. It should show the layout of the property clearly, make availability easy to check, and give returning guests a reason to book direct instead of going back through an agency that takes a cut.

Built for weekly changeovers and short breaks

Clear arrival and departure info. Changeover day, check-in times and what is provided are stated plainly, so guests do not need to ask.
Availability and booking flow. Your existing freetobook or eviivo calendar is embedded on your site where your provider’s embed supports it, so guests see live availability with the shortest path to booking.
Made for repeat guests. A proper home page with your story and the local area gives past guests a reason to come back direct.
Works on phones. Most guests browse on mobile, so every page is built to read and book well on a small screen.
