The demise of Owners Direct

Tuesday, 18th September 2018 by Debbie Leave a Comment

The writing has been on the wall for quite some time, but an email announcing the end of the road a couple of months ago was still a sad email to receive.  The brand Owners Direct has been written off at last.

It’s not been a way of contacting owners directly for quite some time; the parent company Homeaway, owned themselves by Expedia, have long allowed large agencies to list.  Since they introduced a service fee, online payments and bookings, direct contact has also been more difficult to make with the company hiding guests email addresses from the owner.  Forcing contact through their site until after the booking is made. Not a great way to build the sort of trust there needs to be between an owner who is handing over the keys to a property that may well be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds and the guest handing over their money to a stranger in exchange for a lovely holiday.

What our guests say:

Cromer Flint Cottage is absolutely beautiful. Wonderfully clean throughout with fantastic amenities. It really does feel like a home from home, especially with all of the equipment and utensils in the kitchen! The location is fantastic and I cannot fault anything! Jan 19 Cromer Flint Cottage
Andrew & Laura
Far exceeded our expectations. Very peaceful, clean and everybody seems very friendly. Our two young dogs Bert and Ernie loved their stay (walks on the beach and in Bacton Woods). They will be recommending this place to all their friends on facebook." Sept 19, Tides

I wanted to send you an email to personally thank you for a wonderful stay. You have created a truly superb place to stay and provided us with a week of much needed R&R - thank you so much. Aug 20, Beachscape
Vicky & Ian
Another great holiday here. The dogs had the best time on the beach and in the sea. The new beach is amazing. Weather wasn't the best but that didn't stop us doing things. My parents thoroughly enjoyed it too and they loved sitting on the veranda watching the ships out to sea. The chalet was lovely as usual, clean and cosy. Look forward to coming again next year.

Absolutely cracking holiday! Lovely little house, lots of nice touches. Great location. The power of the shower was appreciated. Thank you very much for your hospitality. Feb 20, Cromer Flint Cottage
