Owner FAQ

We have adapted our website to the needs of our owners and guests as it has been proven that direct bookings with no booking fees or commission charges are preferred.

Our accommodation packages start from just £75 and are valid for a full 12 months, so hands down the most affordable and effective way to advertise. 

Our local services advertising is priced from £14.99 – £24.99 for 12 months. 

For full details please see our advertising packages or get in touch.

We welcome any kind of holiday rental and local service wishing to advertise with us and anyone looking for somewhere to advertise their holiday home for sale too.

To advertise accommodation you will need to get in touch with us to set up your user account. We will send you your log in details and a payment link with details of how to continue to build your listing. Once done and payment is received we will publish you live to the website and you will be ready to accept bookings!

To advertise your local service please get in touch: contact@sevenbaysholidays.co.uk – these adverts are added by admin.

You are able to place any relevant information to your holiday rental on your listing. You will always have full access to the owner dashboard where you will be able to make instant updates as often as you like. We generally find the more information you place on the advert then the more enquiries and bookings it will generate. 

Unfortunately the only thing we do not allow is a direct link to a website or alternative listing platform, we appreciate your cooperation. 

All enquiries and booking requests are sent direct to the email address registered and every notification will have instructions of what action is required. 

Always reply directly to the highlighted guest’s email – as this is a DO NOT REPLY mailbox – meaning if you use the reply button the guest will not be receive.

There is also a ‘How To’ section under the Owner heading with step by step guides for every stage of managing your listing including adding a listing or you can contact us to request any help.

You have access to your listing at all times, you can add up to 15 pictures of your holiday rental, you can edit your listing at any time, unlimited description text, nightly/weekly pricing, location map, Owner profile and an availability calendar that can be synced to other listings using iCal. 

Every enquiry is sent directly to you and all payments are dealt with by you as the owner. Your listing will be optimised so it can achieve the best placement possible in search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc) as well as on social media and a featured listings category which is regularly refreshed.

You are also part of a growing local business and local community that is all about supporting local people and services in the Seven Bays and surrounding areas.

You have full control of your listing and you can edit your listing as often or little as you choose.

All payments are handled between you the owner and the guest. Seven Bays Holidays takes no active role in any payments.
