An easier way to let your holiday home
Leading UK book-direct specialist, Stilwell’s Cottages Direct, has unveiled its new directory website, designed to offer new property owners even more control and flexibility when letting their holiday home.
With an increasing number of people choosing to holiday at home this year – whether to cut costs dramatically, reduce their carbon footprint or because they don’t have to rely on flying to get there – ‘staycation’ areas such as England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland are set to reap the benefits.
So if you already own or are looking to invest in a second property, why not earn some easy additional income each year and let it as a holiday home?
With 17 years experience in the UK holiday letting market, Stilwell’s has grown to become one of the most trusted names in the business, currently advertising thousands of privately owned properties.
The website has been re-vamped to offer owners even more control and flexibility when it comes to promoting their property, whilst also benefitting from a dedicated support team to help maximise bookings.
A brand new advertiser console has been developed for owners to build their advert, change it at any time and quickly update their availability calendar and prices. There is also a guided search with filter features which allow users to narrow their selection and book direct with the owner, for a hassle-free way of finding the perfect property.
As well as packing the new site with extra information and additional features, Stilwell’s has invested heavily in search engine optimisation to ensure the website continues to rank highly, encouraging optimum promotion of your property.
Simon Law, property director at The Hoseasons Group, owners of Stilwell’s Cottages Direct, said: “Choosing a specialist book-direct company, such as Stilwells, to let your holiday property offers the owner excellent value and opportunities in generating interest.
“Not only do owners have total freedom and control over how they want to advertise their property, they have the reassurance of a support team with an unrivalled knowledge of the UK holiday market. It’s the most cost-effective way to let a holiday property.”
Stilwell’s client Dominic Leese added: “In my first year of advertising through Stilwell’s the exposure and bookings I received for my two cottages exceeded my expectations. Now in my second year, the numbers of bookings are even better and the Easybook online function has proved to be a great way of securing bookings.
“We have a great relationship with the Stilwell’s team, whilst always maintaining complete control over the property ourselves – it’s a perfect partnership.”
