If you don't want bookings then this is the site for you. Not a single enquiry . Numerous requests for stats never received. Funny how 'staff' (seems to be only one person) were generous in communication before signing up to them then nothing!!! Do not advertise with this company.

Sadly we had the same, not one enquiry in 18 months, despite adding the social media boost. All our bookings are now direct and come from Google adds of a rival holiday site.

We have advertised our holiday cottage with this company for over a year and have not had one enquiry. Fortunately we advertise our holiday cottage elsewhere which has been a success. I would not recommend spending your money using this website.
