Drive More direct bookings with Brixham Direct

 Hi, I’m Mia, and I’ve been working with holiday homes in Brixham since 2019.

Brixham has a thriving tourism economy and welcomes visitors from all over the world every year. Brixham Direct was created with one simple goal:

To help guests discover and book directly with local holiday home owners.

By connecting guests directly with owners, we can help reduce unnecessary booking fees while keeping more visitor spending within our local community.

• Keep More of Your Income

Unlike large booking platforms, Brixham Direct does not charge commission. Guests contact you directly, meaning you keep more of every booking.

• Stay in Control

You remain fully in control of your calendar, pricing, guest communication and payments. Brixham Direct simply connects guests with owners.

• Be Part of a Local Community

Brixham Direct is more than just a property listing website. It's a growing network of local holiday home owners who want to support direct bookings and keep more visitor spending in Brixham.

 Over the past year, across the four properties I personally manage, more than £10,000 in commission has been paid to large booking platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com.

When you consider the hundreds of holiday homes across Brixham, the amount leaving our town every year could run into millions of pounds.

Brixham Direct aims to give owners another way to attract bookings while keeping more of their income and maintaining direct relationships with their guests.

 Listing your property on Brixham Direct is simple.

Each property has its own listing page featuring:

• photos of your property

• a short description

• key information for guests

• a direct contact link to you

Guests browse properties on Brixham Direct and contact the owner directly to book their stay.

Brixham Direct does not take bookings or charge commission, meaning you remain fully in control of:

• your bookings

• your availability calendar

• your pricing

• guest communication

• payments

 Online travel agencies will always play a role in attracting visitors to Brixham. However many returning guests prefer to book directly once they know a property they love.

Every owner who lists on Brixham Direct will receive business cards or flyers to place in their property so guests can easily find the direct booking page for their next stay.

We also hope to work with local businesses in Brixham to build partnerships that benefit both guests and property owners.

 If you are new to taking direct bookings, support is available.

Brixham Direct can help with:

• guidance on booking terms and conditions

• advice on payment policies

• ideas for managing direct bookings

Owners will also receive occasional updates including:

• Brixham events

• trusted local suppliers

• marketing opportunities

• community news

There will also be opportunities to feature in our “Meet the Owners” series to help guests connect with the people behind the homes.

 We currently feature a growing number of holiday homes across Brixham, with more owners joining the platform every month.

A listing on Brixham Direct costs just:

£25 for 12 months

with no commission and no hidden charges.

If you own a holiday home in Brixham and would like to be included, we would love to hear from you.
