Steven's Guesthouse was paying booking commissions to OTAs on most of their reservations while their own site couldn't accept a booking — it could only collect contact-form leads they had to chase by phone.
Editorial brand site with a Foxglove-Street coastal aesthetic, integrated availability calendar, on-site booking with deposit pay-now, automated confirmations to guest and host, and a small admin to update rates and block dates.
Direct bookings now bypass the OTA commission for most stays. Owner gets a daily manifest, guests get instant confirmation, no double bookings.
