Mary writes: “I have past experience of trying to find an online booking solution that didn’t cost the earth. In my old job as Sales & Marketing Manager for Freedom of the Glen Hotels I know just what a challenge it was when we were looking for a solution.

When we started Source we recognised that there was a need for an online solution that matched the needs of the small independent hotelier. We also needed something that was easy for both customers and staff to use and I couldn’t believe it when we came across BookAssist. It’s brilliant! It does so much more than give you online bookability it’s also a revenue management and distribution tool all rolled into one.

The best thing about it is that set up is FREE and all you have to do is sign up and you could be online within 72 hours! It’s as simple as that."

Don't just take our word for it, Frances Leitch Sales & Marketing Manager for Lochaber Hotels (The Onich & Moorings Hotel) says:

"As relative novices of the computer age, we were very wary of on-line booking, but thanks to the very helpful team at Book Assist and a very efficient and easy to manage system after 6 weeks and over 100 bed nights, it has proved to be one of the best steps forward we have made. With only 72 hours to get our two hotels on-line it has proved to be and I am sure will continue to be a great timesaver."

Stuart Maxwell, General Manager of Fairfield House in Ayr says:

“We are very pleased with BookAssist. We started using it back in April and are on target to take around £100,000 worth of business through BookAssist by next April. It couldn’t have been easier really, we just put it onto our website and the bookings started coming through. Our customers love it as it looks like they are booking directly into our system.”

Alison Greener, Sales Manager for The Ballachulish Hotel, The Isles of Glencoe Hotel and The Oban Caledonian Hotel says:

"We only signed up for Bookassist 4 weeks ago and we’ve already had over £16,000 worth of business through it for our hotels. It was the easiest thing we’ve ever done – just a simple form and then all the work was done by Bookassist. Before I knew it the booking panel was on our websites! The reports and revenue management controls are great too – we are impressed. The best bit is that it’s really easy to use and IT WORKS!"
