A free working demo that shows the leak, and plugs it. On a real URL, in 10 working days.
Verified on GoogleA century-old country estate at the foot of the Wrekin. Their 2014 site sent every booking through an OTA. We rebuilt it as a direct-booking-first cinematic experience that keeps the guest, the data and the margin.
See the live Buckatree demo ↗Most hospitality websites quietly leak money. OTA commission you can see. Lost enquiries you can’t. Empty midweek covers you can’t sell back tomorrow. I find the hole, show you the number, and plug it. The fix costs a fraction of one year’s leak.
A hospitality business carries four kinds of pain on a balance sheet that doesn’t exist. Until I show it to you.
Booking.com takes 15–22% effective on every room. A 5-room B&B at £35k of OTA revenue hands over ~£5,950 a year, forever. Bigger than the build, every year.
Most hospitality sites convert about 1–3% of visitors. The top ones convert 5–10%. Same traffic, two to three times the bookings. You can’t see the ones who bounced. That’s why this leak is the worst.
Answering the same five questions, chasing card details by text, juggling diaries. The website is meant to be a member of staff. Most are interns.
Compliance duties pile up. Guest data sits in spreadsheets. Reviews swing both ways. If your venue holds 200+, Martyn’s Law applies to you, and almost nobody’s ready.
Add the four together. That’s The Number. My fee is a fraction of one row.
A B&B leaks commission. A wedding venue leaks invisible enquiries. A country inn leaks all three: rooms, covers, and the room above the bar. I treat them as three different products, because they are.
You’re paying a stranger a wage to rent you customers you could own. A site that takes direct bookings, deposits and guest details, with the engine you already use, styled so the handoff doesn’t lose the sale.
The Number: ~£5,950/yr to OTAs on a 5-room property. The Fix costs a fraction of one quarter of that.
Claim my B&B demo →Rooms, restaurant, functions. Your site half-sells one. Every dark midweek room and quiet Tuesday cover is gone forever. One site that sells all three streams, plus the Google profile that catches walk-ins deciding where to eat tonight.
The Number: a couple of filled rooms and covers a week. The Fix pays for itself before the season turns.
Claim my inn demo →A third of couples won’t enquire if pricing isn’t visible. 43% expect a reply within 24 hours. Top venues convert double off the same enquiries. A site that puts you on the three-venue shortlist and wins the speed race.
The Number: one wedding is worth £10k+ to you. The Fix costs less than one wedding. Always.
Claim my venue demo →Not features. Not add-ons. Four specific holes every hospitality site has. Every fix closes all four as standard.
Freetobook, Little Hotelier, eviivo, RoomRaccoon or Inn Style, styled into your site so the engine doesn’t hand the booking back to Booking.com at the last click. You keep the guest. You keep the margin.
68% of B&B and 73% of venue searches start on a phone. The date picker (or the enquiry form) is the first thing they see, not buried under three menu taps. No fold means no bounce.
Google’s AI Overview and ChatGPT both pull from FAQ schema. Yours will. The properties in your area still leaking traffic to AI summaries don’t. Now you own that ground.
