Written by the company

Available Stays is a book-direct listing site for holiday lets, cottages, campervans and work stays. Guests find a place and contact the owner or agent directly. There are no booking fees and no middleman, so the price you see is the owner’s own price. For owners, Stays is more than a listing. Gaps and last-minute availability go live in a couple of clicks. Listings are shared to social media, and each property gets one shareable profile with everything in one place, including things to do nearby and the owner’s own local tips. There’s no commission, just a simple monthly fee. Letting agents and accommodation providers can advertise short and medium-term contractor stays through Stays Pro. We’re a small, owner-focused team and we answer our own emails. If you’ve listed or stayed with us, we’d love to hear how it went. Available Stays is a trading name of Good Shout Digital Ltd.

It’s great to see a new company start…

It’s great to see a new company start up, particularly when the 3 big names dominate Google for searches of holiday homes. I’ve been in the holiday home hire business since 2013 and it’s a welcome approach from Availablestays as opposed to the dictating other companies. The website is easy to navigate and has some great features, activation and verification is fast and the web links are smooth and fast.
The ‘others’ could learn a thing or two and I hope Availablestays keeps it this way.
100% recommendation.

Quick and easy to get listed

I thought getting my property listed on Available Stays might be a bit of a faff and take ages, but it was so quick and easy. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a smoother process, and the site looks fantastic and really professional.

Simple and easy with great support

From the first notification of the new website to its implementation, Pete has been active in ensuring everything went smoothly and has kept me up to date with progress. The website is easy to use and update (said as a non techy!) and I look forward to getting direct bookings.

Great way of guests finding you

It’s great to be involved in a new option for holiday let owners. Love the idea of promoting our gaps, and makes it super easy for potential guests to find a good deal for the dates they have in mind.
Peter who runs available stays is responsive and helpful. The set up process was easy.

Great idea and easy to use

The process of signing up was very easy, probably the easiest platform I’ve ever set up. But what stands out most to me was that questions and suggestions I’d made such as guidebook links and additional equipment items had been added within a day. It’s also a great addition to add your ratings. The owner is really helpful and responsive to any comments. Small sites like these need our support to compete with the giants, who sell us cheap so I’m more than happy to take a chance at changing the status quo.

Available Stays is so easy to use!

Available Stays is a really user friendly listing website for holiday let hosts - it’s so much easier, quicker and more intuitive to populate than Airbnb, BDC and Promote my Place were. I love how hosts can add their local tips with suggestions for their guests, and add a digital guidebook. It’s simple to add an ical link to display your availability and to show off your ratings earned on other sites. The support is great if you need it. I’m very happy with how my listings look on Available Stays.
