EASILETS UNPACKED : Why Book Direct? Perks of Booking with Easilets
July 28, 2025
York is one of the UK’s most beautiful and historic cities, known for its medieval streets, grand Gothic cathedral, independent shops, and vibrant food scene. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend getaway, a family holiday, or a special celebration, choosing the right accommodation can make all the difference to your trip.
At Easilets, we provide a collection of stylish, family-friendly, and Instagram-worthy holiday lets in York, perfect for every type of traveller. But did you know that booking directly with us – rather than using a third-party platform like Airbnb or Booking.com – comes with exclusive benefits?
Here’s why booking direct is the smartest choice for your stay – and how it can save you money, give you more flexibility, and make your York getaway extra special.
💷 Best Price Guarantee – No Hidden Fees
When you book your York holiday home directly through our website, you’ll always get the lowest price available. Third-party platforms add hefty service fees and commissions that can increase the cost of your stay by 10–20%.
By cutting out the middleman, we pass the savings on to you. That’s more money left in your pocket for sightseeing, shopping, or dining at York’s best restaurants.
🎁 Exclusive Perks for Direct Guests
We love to add thoughtful touches to make your stay memorable. When you book direct with Easilets, you’ll enjoy special benefits that third-party platforms can’t offer, such as:
✨ Early check-in or late check-out (subject to availability)
✨ A personalised welcome treat on arrival
✨ Insider local tips, from York’s best coffee shops to its hidden gems
✨ Access to seasonal offers and discounts just for direct guests
These extras are our way of saying thank you for supporting a local business – and ensuring your stay feels truly special.
🖤 A Personal, Friendly Experience
Booking with Easilets means you’re dealing directly with our friendly, York-based team. No generic messages, no long wait times – just real people who genuinely care about making your stay perfect.
Need help planning your trip? We’re always happy to recommend restaurants, activities, or family-friendly attractions to make the most of your visit.
Our properties are designed with both comfort and style in mind, making them perfect for everything from romantic city breaks to family getaways and group celebrations. You’re not just booking a stay – you’re booking an experience.
📅 Greater Flexibility and Peace of Mind
Life happens, and travel plans sometimes change. When you book direct, you’ll benefit from more flexible cancellation and amendment policies than you’ll find on third-party sites.
We’ll always do our best to accommodate changes, giving you peace of mind and more control over your booking.
🏡 Support Local & Stay Local
