Membership is available at three different tiers, tailored to suit your specific preferences and needs. Each membership lasts for a full 12-month period.
Brand new for this year our Gold level members can add social media live feeds to their listing pages for the most up-to-date news and to help entice customers to place a booking. We’ve also added the ability for Gold members to link additional pages to listings, allowing potential customers to view your full range of accommodation, products, and services in one place.
Members now have far more flexibility in paying with options tailored to suit their business. Members can choose to pay via direct debit or BACS, and now via Pay-Monthly allowing members to spread the cost over a full year. Members who choose to pay in full by direct debit and ahead of the invoice due date will receive £20 off their total. Members who elect to Pay-Monthly via direct debit will pay £10 at Bronze, £15 at Silver, and £22 at Gold level and the cost of additional pages may be incorporated into the monthly cost too.
