2 week holiday to Fuerteventura in March '26
Communication and booking was easy and efficient. The property we stayed at was everything we hoped for and more. The owner and local representative were very quick and helpful with our inquiries. This was our first time booking through Simply Owners, we will definitely use them again and have recommended them to friends.

Does what it says on the tin
The website description proved to be accurate and conveyed perfectly our experience staying in the apartment. Corresponding directly with the owner has worked very well for us so we'll continue to use this site for future holiday property searches.

Also my daughter Becky who is our CEO has got through to the national finals for 'Rising Star' within the holiday rentals sector. Thanks again Tim and team
Great operation
Nice to have an alternative to the big companies with lots of different brands all offering the same properties.
Found the perfect property for us at the Old Cottage near Ludlow. The security of the payment protection certificate and advice report payment was excellent for peace of mind booking direct.

We are really proud of our 100% security record over the 10 years we have been trading without a single incident for owners or holidaymakers. We are so confident in our security and verification processes that we provide the Payment Protection Certificate FREE.

We had a wonderful holiday in Gorges
We had a wonderful holiday in Gorges, Normandy at the Normandie Nest booked through Simply Owners. Communication with the owner was great from booking through to arrival and during our stay. It was lovely to stay in a well-loved home from home which had everything we needed and lots of information about the local area and recommendations of things to do. I would recommend booking through Simply Owners. I found the experience much more personal than many other sites and the prices were competitive too.

Great family stay
The location cannot be faulted. The views from the bay window in the lounge are incredible. Parking provided for a property in this location is such a bonus. We stayed as a family of 3 generations and facilities offered something for all of us. We will be back

Hi Martin, thank you for taking the time to feedback, much appreciated, good or bad, we need to know so that we can improve. We have a system of a one click feedback, (thumbs up or thumbs down) for searchers to rate an owners responsiveness. I cannot see on our systems that you have used this. This system enables us to contact the owner to chase things up but usually results in the owners response was sent and subsequently found in the holidaymakers spam folder, filtered out by their email host. We use this sytem to rank owners exposure on our site to encourage responsiveness. It would be helpful if you could let us know the property you were enquiring about so that we can take this up further. Thank you again for your feedeback, best wishes tim
Lovely apartment overlooking the Quay in a beautiful North Norfolk resort with spectacular views
We have been regular visitors to Wells for many years and have stayed in many properties. We have in the past used Simply Owners to hire properties in France and have found them all to be as described and reasonably priced. So when I saw Quayside Court apartment to let, I felt it would be ideal - parking space, lift and specatular views - we weren't disappointed and this is our second visit

The Old Coach House in Aldwark
We stayed at The Old Coach House in Aldwark and what a lovely cottage.
The booking process was easy. The cottage was reasonably priced and had everything you needed for a break away from it all. The massive, enclosed field at the back was brilliant for the dogs.
Nigel, the host was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed.
Thoroughly recommend this property and will return.

From my initial enquiry to receiving final check-in instructions, the whole process was first class. My emails & telephone enquiries were answered promptly & the staff could not have been more helpful & were an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Real People. Real Bookings. Good Service
I love that you can talk to a real person at Simply Owners about any technical questions of how to set your page and there is always someone on the end of a phone. I have had good enquiries through their site leading to some valuable bookings and really value that they don't take a big chunk of commission for every booking, just a simple one off annual fee. Plus they don't charge travellers too. So much better than some of the other online sites. Well worth the investment for us !

Hi Susanah, thank you so much for taking time to point out the benefits of using Simply Owners, much appreciated. We have deliberately built our business around the points you make as we feel the expensive and impersonal experience with some of the giants needs a family owned business alternative such as us that they can have peace of mind with.
thank you again Tim and team
