Looks a cracking house with you in a very good area , would have thought you could get to your 30 weeks once you have built up a clientele and have repeat bookings. Agents do screw the job ours takes 24% yet we have not done so bad on bookings to be honest and advertising yourself is not cheap.
We stayed in a self catering place last year which used this online booking system with availability shown and online card payment, what does your booking system cost then Wil?

Currently just using holidaylettings.co.uk booking system and directing them to that. But another way of doing it is just to accept paypal or bank transfer and then just putting my own booking onto the holiday lettings calendar. I suppose I should try and figure out a way of taking online cards really, because if you book it through holidaylettings you have to let them take their fee then too.
My agent isn't coming up with the goods enough for me out of school holidays and although I'm finding I think its a slightly harder sell out of school holidays because groups of 10 adults are less common and 6 people tend to look for a house that sleeps 6 and no more.
