Exposure/Searches
Your advert will be displayed in the searches for your particular location and also in the latest properties panel on our home page. We keep it simple, every advert receives the same exposure in searches which are ordered randomly.
Featured Property
You can highlight your property with a feature on our homepage and featured properties page for a cost of £10 per month. Ideal for special offers, cancellations and out of season bookings. Featured properties are displayed randomly to ensure equal exposure.
Easy Creation and Editing
We provide a step-by-step system to build your advert in any order you wish. An extensive list of options are available to suit any property. You can preview and edit your advert at any time and when you are happy with it submit it for approval.
Verification
We take advert security seriously and we check and verify every advert. You may be asked to provide documentation for your advert before approval, such as a scanned copy of a utility bill for the property.
Statistics
Each property advert has its own statistics showing how many times your property has appeared in a search, been viewed and been added to a members favourites. You can also check how many times your website link has been clicked, if you have one. We send out a monthly statistics email and a record is also kept in your account.
Your property page will include:
Property Display
You will get a full page advert, designed to display your property to its full potential.
Photographs
You will have space for up to 16 images – for maximum impact we display one large image, with thumbnails underneath. Images can be viewed individually or as a slideshow.
Video
You can bring your property to life with a well made video showing interiors, exteriors and surrounding views.
Google Maps
As well as being displayed on the main Google map search, your property advert will also have its own mini Google map so visitors can pinpoint your location and surroundings.
Description
You can write a substantial description, including summary and main body text. The features, facilities and location details of your property will be displayed in a chart format, saving you valuable space to concentrate on other selling points.
Availability Calendar
24 months are displayed at any one time and dates can be marked easily as booked or available. We do recommend that you keep your calendar up to date to keep the site current and help avoid disappointment for enquirers.

You can show seasonal prices for your property either per week, per night or per person per night (catered properties). Prices can be displayed in Pounds, Euros or Dollars and can be automatically converted if required.

The enquiry form protects your email address from unwanted SPAM. A copy of all enquiries will be kept in your account. Enquiries will also be sent to your email address to which you can reply directly.
