When you are researching your holiday rental booking, we understand that it’s hard to know where to start! Well-known international booking sites (online travel agencies or ‘OTAs’) make things seem easy, and you may have used them for other holidays elsewhere, so they offer a familiar option.
It can seem like a leap of faith to leave these platforms and seek out independent companies, but there are lots of benefits to booking direct. On the occasion of #bookdirect 2023 day, we thought we’d take the opportunity to give you an idea of some of the advantages.
Usually, you’ll find the same properties on OTA websites as you would by going directly to the owner or property manager. So, you might ask, why bother? Well, by booking direct, you’ll benefit from intimate knowledge of the destination you’ve chosen, and invaluable local experience.

Independent holiday companies like ourselves are spreading the word on social media in February – join in the conversation on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram. If you’ve booked direct before, you know it can be more personal, so we’d love it if you could share our messages to help your friends benefit from the advantages too.
