How does Stay in Wales compare with the big sites?
Quite simply, it's significantly less expensive. Their charges usually range from 15% to 25%. For a typical holiday property, this can easily amount to several thousand pounds a year.
Stay in Wales has been online since 1999, and our long term customers know from experience that our service provides the direct-with-customer communication which they value, and costs far less than the big sites.
Publish good quality content – appealing, well-lit pictures and a carefully written description along with accurate prices and availability – and Stay in Wales will get you more bookings for less money.
