...house websites? The Guestlink calendar is very expensive. Is there an alternative for a cottage or guest house website in Cumbria that wants to indicate bookings and availability online on its website? Any ideas?

Yes, there is an alternative. The Web Design Cottage can install an easy to update booking calendar on your site for a one-off fee that is about a third of the annual fee for Guestlink. It can also add a feature for you to keep an up to date list of prices and announce special offers immediately.

Don't think you have to fork out so much money to Guestlink every year. There IS an alternative.
