These are concept demos built by directbook.uk to show the standard of our work. Every property shown is fictional, not a client. Each demo shows what a £1,999 hand-built booking website looks like: your rooms, your story, your booking engine embedded, and zero commission on bookings.
A Victorian guest house homepage with room pages, breakfast details and an embedded booking flow. With England's short-term let register expected from March 2027, a direct booking site gives this Lake District guest house its own compliant front door, and every direct booking keeps the ~15% that OTAs would take.

A ryokan-style concept with woodblock-inspired artwork, showing how a very different property type can still get the same direct booking structure. The same logic travels: in regulated markets, from Japan's minpaku framework to the UK's new registration schemes, hosts who own their booking channel keep the guest relationship instead of renting it from a platform.

A clean modern boutique hotel look with strong room imagery and a simple booking path. Bath sits in one of England's busiest short-let markets: with national registration expected from March 2027, a direct site with a visible registration-number field is ready on day one. View live demo →
A self-catering cottage demo with changeover-day details, local area pages and availability calendar. For self-catering cottages facing both the expected March 2027 register and business-rates rules, direct bookings protect margin on every stay instead of handing ~15% to an OTA. View live demo →
A coastal property demo showing how sea views and outdoor space are presented to drive direct bookings. Cornwall's holiday-let market is exactly where the expected March 2027 registration will bite first: a direct booking site keeps the guest relationship, and the commission, with the owner.

A Highland lodge demo with seasonal messaging, showing how a property with strong winter and summer seasons presents itself year round. Scotland already requires a council licence before a single booking, with fines up to £2,500: this demo shows the licence-number field that every directbook site includes. View live demo →
Each of our £1,999 builds follows the same formula: pages written around your property and your photos, your existing freetobook or eviivo booking flow embedded, 2 revisions, a 3-month warranty, and zero commission on bookings. The demos above show the range of styles we work in, from Victorian heritage to modern boutique, but every real build starts from your property, not from a template.
