STARS & STILESFOR HOLIDAY LET OWNERS

Your holiday let.
Your own website.
Your bookings.

We build direct booking websites for holiday let owners, so more guests book with you instead of paying a platform.

We can look after your site for you, or hand it over once it’s live. Your choice.

Built by owners

We run a holiday let too.

Stars & Stiles is the company behind Cringley Cottage, our own dog-friendly holiday let in Askrigg in the Yorkshire Dales. Its website takes direct bookings, syncs with Airbnb and Booking.com, and runs day to day for us.

When the rules changed on consumer reviews, we made the update to our own site first. Compliance Watch is that same routine, offered to other owners.

A simpler way to run your holiday let

More time for what you love.

No commission

Direct bookings carry no booking commission. You keep what your guests pay, less only the card processing fee charged by the payment provider.

Happier guests

A seamless journey, from booking to check-out.

Greater control

Your prices, policies and guest relationships, all in one place.

More freedom

We manage it, or hand it over. Either way, more time for you.

Everything we do  →

Optional extra

Compliance Watch: rules change, we keep you posted

Running a holiday let now means keeping up with consumer law, safety duties, registration schemes and tax changes. Compliance Watch is an add-on where we track changes that affect holiday lets, send you plain-English updates, and where a change touches your website, we make the update for you.

Updates in plain English

What changed, who it affects and what owners commonly need to think about, with links to the official source.

Website changes done for you

When a rule affects your site, such as publishing a reviews policy or how prices are displayed, we can implement it for you.

Owner tools

Things like guest-safety changeover checklists, kept as a dated record you can show if you are ever asked.

Design

We build a site around your photos and personality. See our examples for the range of styles.

Connect

We link your calendars, payments and emails, and test the whole booking journey.

Launch & hand over

Your site goes live on your own domain. Then you choose: we keep managing it, or we hand it over to you.

Our work

Every property is different

Each site is unique to its property, with its own look, feel and personality.
