A new accommodation guide featuring everything from bed and breakfasts to yurts in Britain has been launched.

Bluebellsandseashells.co.uk allows owners of accommodation to register their product on the site for £25 a year and display up to 10 pictures of the property as well as list details of local attractions.

Users of the site can then search for their preferred properties and can even look for eco-friendly properties or those able to cater for vegetarians.

Founder of the website Joanna Thorne said: “We have launched this site to counter all of the items that we found most frustrating from our own experiences when looking for accommodation across Great Britain.

“Furthermore, many of the holiday cottage letting companies from around Great Britain have actually been purchased by American corporations, and as a result, the consumer ends up paying up to 30% more, including the compulsory insurance that the cottages’ owners actually receive.

“This is neither fair for the owner, or traveller, but perhaps, worst still is that this money is leaving our economy, when it has never been needed more. Our website is aimed at providing those independent accommodation owners with an affordable and fair platform to share what they have to offer.”

Thorne said property owners can register on the site for free for the first six months and can log on at any time to update their listing, view traffic to their profiles and even see the number of times their contact details have been viewed.
