Opening a B&B or holiday let?
The best time to sort the guest messages, changeovers and reviews is before they pile up. I'll set up what a new B&B or holiday let needs from day one, in your name, and show you it working before your first customer.
Or call 01206 636 400, or , my AI assistant.

Read the call
- Amy Hello, Hollybrook Barns in Dedham. I'm Amy, Ellis's AI assistant, and calls are recorded so Ellis gets your message. How can I help?
- Caller Hi there! This is Linda Brooks. My husband and I arrive tomorrow, all the way from Ohio. Our train gets into Manningtree around noon. What time can we check in?
- Amy I'll just check your booking.
- Amy Here we are. Two nights in the Granary, from tomorrow. Check-in's from three, and I'll text you the door code in the morning.
- Caller Is there any chance we could get in a little earlier? We'll have our bags with us.
- Amy I can't promise that, as the cleaners are usually there until about two. But I'll ask Ellis, and if it's ready sooner, you'll get a text.
- Caller Thank you. And is it far to walk to Flatford? We'd love to see the mill.
- Amy It's about two miles along the river, and it's a lovely walk. There's a map in the welcome guide, which I'll text you tonight.
- Caller Oh, that's wonderful. Thank you, Amy.
- Amy You're very welcome, Linda. Safe travels, and enjoy Dedham.
