Hi,
Just a quick update to let you all know that you are now able to advertise your bed and breakfast rentals on Direct Holiday Lets at the same price as holiday rental ads.
You just need to add your properties as usual via your admin area. When adding a bed and breakfast property your rate options will change to price per night or per person.
If you are the owner of a bed and breakfast I hope you enjoy this new aspect of the site and are very successful with your advertising.

Sorry but we are no longer a free service
Hi Everyone,
Im afraid that advertising on directholidaylets.com is no longer free, meaning that any properties you wish to add from now on are charged at ₤35 per year for your initial property and then ₤25 for any additional properties added.
We beleive that ₤35 a year to advertise your holiday home rental is great value when compared to other similar web sites charging in excess of ₤100 per year.
We are now growing at a rapid rate and are receiving in excess of 6000 unique visits per month meaning that your properties are getting plenty of exposure to holiday makers. Considering that the web site is only around 2 months old this is a great achievement, but are looking to reach around 10,000 for next month.
Increasing traffic to our web site on the internet is always an on-going challenge that we are working hard to achieve as we know that it is vital to have a good level of internet viewers in order to gain the enquiries and bookings that we all want.
Please dont forget to keep sending in your emails to us letting us know whether you are happy with the site and whether it is living up to your expectations or not.
We are always happy to hear from you all.
Best Wishes
Robert

Testimonials and other bits and bobs
Hello Everyone,
As Direct Holiday Lets is still in its infancy and yet still growing rapidly in terms of properties added daily, search engine rankings and daily website hits It would great if you owners would take a minute and give me your opinion of the site so far and how easily you find it in terms of ease of us, funtionality and general website content and appearance.
It is so important to us that we get your feedback so that we can constantly update the website and make your visit to the site as stress free and as pleasant as possible.
Please email us at info@directholidaylets.com with your opinions and suggestions. Also if you have had success in renting your property via this site why not tell us about it by emailing us. We can then add it to our testimonials page. We would love to hear from you all.
On a final note. Please make sure that your adverts are complete. I have encountered numerous adverts with property descriptions such as "Sleeps 4, nice views and five minutes to beach"!!! Come on. Even I can be a little bit more creative than that. Im pleased to say though that this is definetely the minority. Most of the ads on the site so far have been done very well and include some great pictures.
Its also good to see that you have been adding properties in different parts of the world which is fantastic.
Good luck to you all with your advertising. I would love to hear from every one of you in the near future.

Bugs to be fixed in website
Good morning all,
Just to let you know that we are aware of a couple issues.
One of the issues we had was with the sending of username and password details both when signing up and also when going to the owners page and clicking on the "Request Password" link.
Emails should be received fine now. If you wish to receive an email reminder to keep of your password details please click on the "Request Password" link on the owners page.
The other minor issue that we are having is with the title(displayed in the big blue box at the top of the page) being displayed incorrectly when doing a search. The database search is correct and all properties are being found that match the search criteria its just the title that is being displayed incorrectly sometimes.
This will be fixed shortly along with any outstanding issues outlined in this and other previous posts.
Have a good day.
