FairBooking is an initiative promoted by Cumbria Tourism, the official Tourist Board and Destination Management Organisation in Cumbria, which aims to provide the best accommodation deal for customers and a better deal for the local tourism industry in the location you intend visiting.

You may not be aware that large Online Travel Agents charge us 15-20% commission to receive bookings from their sites, and none of that money goes back into the local economy, or helps our business.

We therefore want to avoid paying this commission and highlight to our customers the benefits of booking direct and online via our own trusted website www.holmleaguesthouse.co.uk

How does FairBooking work?

The concept is straight forward. FairBooking encourages consumers to book directly with the accommodation establishment. Why? Booking your accommodation via our website ensures that our customers get the best deal.

What do you get for booking direct?

• Preferrential room choice (subject to availability)

• Special offer discounts (where applicable) <<See the offers you can benefit from by booking direct>>

What do we do in return for your direct booking?

• We will donate 50p from all our direct bookings directly to our chosen cause The Cumbria Air Ambulance.

What do you get for booking via an Online Travel Agent?

• No choice of room
• High room rate (to cover the commission we pay)
• No special offer discounts - <<See what offers you missed by not booking direct>>

In Summary - 3 great reasons to book direct!

• The best deal for you - our guest
