Central Brittany B&B
Central Brittany B&B needed guests to be able to find their rooms, check availability and book directly through the website, reducing reliance on third-party booking platforms and their associated commissions.
The Challenge
The B&B was relying on third-party platforms to take bookings, losing a significant percentage of each reservation to commission fees, with no way for guests to book directly.
Commission costs
Third-party OTA platforms were taking a substantial cut of every booking, directly impacting the profitability of the business.
No direct booking capability
Guests had no way to book rooms directly through the B&B website, meaning the business had no control over its own reservation process.
Booking management
The owner needed a straightforward way to view, manage and update reservations without relying on external platforms.
The Transformation
How we upgraded their business.
The Starting Point
- Reliant on third-party platforms for all bookings
- Commission fees on every reservation
- No direct booking capability on the website
- No admin tools to manage reservations independently
What We Built
- Custom PHP Booking System
A bespoke reservation system allowing guests to check availability and book rooms directly through the website.
- Custom Admin Backend
A dedicated management interface giving the owner full control over reservations, availability and guest information.
- B&B Website
A warm, welcoming design showcasing the rooms and location to convert visiting traffic into direct bookings.
Our Solution
We built a custom PHP booking system integrated into the B&B website, giving guests a simple way to check room availability and book directly. The owner manages everything through a custom admin backend, with full visibility over reservations and availability.
