Direct booking demand, with the trip already considered.
The House helps guests choose the stay where the trip around it works. Guests ask for the trip they have in mind. We match suitable stays, check availability and pricing, preview the trip through The House Edit, and route them to book direct. After booking, House Key unlocks their private Black Book.
We’re building our first Cotswolds collection for a Q4 2026 launch and speaking with a small number of selected accommodation partners.
OTAs show the room. The House sells the trip.
OTAs are built to compare rooms, rates and reviews. The House is built around trip intent. A guest is not only asking where to sleep. They are asking whether the chef dinner works, whether there is a good pub nearby, whether the dog can come, whether the group can gather, and whether the weekend feels worth booking.
- 01Trip fit
Matched by dates, group, budget, dogs, children, cars and occasion.
- 02Local viability
Dining, walks, chefs, drivers, experiences and local services checked around the stay.
- 03Direct route
When the stay fits, the guest is routed back to your official booking journey.
Two complementary layers. Use either, or both.
The House creates demand. You keep the booking.
New direct booking demand
Your selected stays appear inside The House when they fit the guest’s dates, budget, group, location and trip style. The guest books through your direct route. You keep the booking, payment and guest relationship.
House Key for direct guests
Offer House Key to guests you have already acquired, as a direct-booking benefit, premium package inclusion or optional pre-arrival enhancement.
CommercialCommercial terms are agreed partner by partner: a success fee on validated introduced bookings, or agreed House Key activation terms where you already own the guest.
From trip intent to direct booking.
The House helps guests choose the stay where the trip around it actually works. Suitable stays, live availability and pricing, a House Edit preview, and checked local options reviewed by trusted locals, in one conversation.
These screens illustrate the core House Key concept. The final guest experience may include additional steps, checks or screens.
The House local editThe House local editDirect should feel better, not just cheaper.
House Key can turn direct booking into a more valuable guest proposition: venue credit, preferred House rates, local access, partner benefits and a private Black Book built around the stay.
Direct-booking benefit
A reason to book with you rather than through an OTA profile
Premium package inclusion
Bundle House Key into higher-value stays, celebrations and longer breaks
Optional enhancement
Offer it as a pre-arrival upgrade guests can choose to add
IndicativeIndicative guest pricing from £25 per stay, with venue credit. Final credit, benefits and guest pricing are agreed with each partner venue before launch.
Stays where the wider trip matters.
We’re especially interested in stays where guests are not just booking a bed, but planning a proper Cotswolds break: food-led weekends, walks, dogs, family weeks, private-chef stays, wellness, celebrations and group trips.
Boutique & country-house hotels
Hotels and inns with rooms for food-led escapes, slower weekends and local access.
Cottages & premium holiday lets
Premium lets for couples, families, dogs and quiet Cotswolds breaks.
Private houses & group stays
Larger houses for groups, celebrations and private-chef weekends with room to gather.
Lightweight to begin.
Enough to present your stay properly, check availability and pricing, and route the right guests to your direct booking journey. Deeper integration can follow.

The first Cotswolds launch, Q4 2026.
We’re preparing the first Cotswolds collection with a small number of selected stay partners and House Key partners. For accommodation partners, the early launch is designed to be lightweight: selected stays, agreed direct booking routes, availability and pricing checks, and House Key activation options for direct guests.
Selected stays, with the trip already considered.
If your stay is the kind of place guests plan a proper trip around, we’d love to talk. The first partner group will be deliberately small and selected carefully.
