Owners Direct 

The cottage was as described, mattresses comfortable, everything immaculate, removal of kitchen refuse daily as no bin collectionnot a problem! The view of the river and railway line and the college was wonderful, and although we had to park a car down the road, the walk to the ferry across to Dartmouth was part of the hol and necessary exercise. The locals are helpful and friendly despite a justifiable resentment at the over buying of holiday homes and doubtless greed of some short sighted developers! A visit to Slapton was made impossible as the road is out of use, thanks to winter storms, they need to get on with repairing that, as the country lanes are not really made for range rovers and mercedes...However the trip round made the visit to Torcross worth the trouble. Our daughter in law was highly impressed with the sleeping arrangements and two bathrooms. Thank you. ***Oh one snag, not very computer literate, found initial booking and trying to get details off something that said Download here, BUT DIDNT! a trial, SO I emailed the Owner who was more than helpful! I was not sure how many companies were involved in the end, and did not need offers across the globe for 4 nights!

Lovey accommodation. Our host Gigi was friendly , very helpful and accommodating. We enjoyed our break away in a lovely part of the UK

Great searching tools helps you get a good vacation home fit for your needs.

The experience works if you can have a good rapport with your owner. We did and the rental agreement worked well for both parties!

Does anyone know what Owners Direct charges guests and owners? I am having difficulty determining this.

Terrible business model, ruined a perfectly good company business model through corporate greed.
No communication now with the owner, they block e mails and charge 10% booking fee on top of the stated price. Owners are leaving in droves.
OD sending you all this 'customer service consultation' and then ignore your feedback.
Reminds one of Naoi Klein's book on 'Shock capitalism', bully boy business

Plenty of choice for the ideal villa and an easy to use website.

Much easier way to book a UK break away and deal direct with the owners.

Owners direct is a very good site to find somewhere to stay on holiday if you would rather have a home for home felling that you don’t get from a hotel.

All though I was rather dis appointed this time as I had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances and did not get my deposit back.

It was easy to navigate around the site. I especially liked being able to contact the owner direct with queries about the property. Now looking forward to staying there.

After I had booked a property I got an email to say it wa# already booked by someone else. I had already paid the deposit so was concerned. The owners were also confused but reassured us our booking was secure.

Good property in an interesting area with lots of places to visit, booked through Owners Direct which I would definitely look to use again and would recommend to others.

First time booking with Owners Direct. Efficient and friendly.

Looking forward to our holiday and hope it meets our expectations!

Excellent,very easy to book,and communication from owner was excellent.

Been in touch by email with the home owner. I found her very helpful with information and any needs I have. She is going to give me more information nearer to our holiday

I have been using owners direct for years now and always find what I want and feel safe in booming though them

Great service
