#BookDirect Day Offer - save 10%

Barbara Turnock • 6 February 2019

Today is annual #bookdirect day ....

Its 6 February 2019 - it's #BOOKDIRECT DAY!


So what is #bookdirect day?


Well ..... it's all about guest education day!

Have you recently seen some of those adverts on the Television telling you that you get the best deal on your hotel or holiday cottage by going through them? - them being some of the OTA's (online travel agents) 


They may not always be what they appear to be..


Some have 'hidden' service fees or commissions, or they do not necessary tell you this when you first start looking in that initial property search and it brings up the initial prices.


Some charge high commission/booking fees to the independent small guesthouse or cottage.


Always check out BOOK DIRECT with the holiday cottage, hotel, bed and breakfast for the best deal. If you go direct you can give yourself the chance to save. 


Not only this - but every extra penny going to a local small business and rural economy - can then help that local area too.


Not sure if you've heard of the 'fiver fest' ....... our local historic market town of Leek runs this ..... it's something similar with booking your independent cottage


⭐To celebrate this special day we are offering our customers 10% discount off our standard rate for dates from 6 Feb to end April 2019


⭐ Please, use the discount code BOOKDIRECT to book online or contact us on 01538 300101 for the best price. 


⭐ But hurry, this offer will ONLY run for just 24 hours and expire on 12 pm 07/02/2019! T&C apply.
