In this Tech Talk article we revisit our 2020 review of Supercontrol PMS tool, the pros and cons and where it’s improved since then.
At Ditch Your OTA, we know how much energy goes into running a holiday let — and how frustrating it is to give away control (and commission) to big booking platforms. Whether you’re brand new to hosting or a seasoned pro, you deserve the freedom to run your business your way. Through simple tools, practical training, and websites designed to work as hard as you do, we’ll help you stand out, attract direct bookings, and keep more of what you earn.
More control. More bookings. More freedom from the OTAs.
Whether you’re just starting your holiday let journey, have years of hosting experience, or are building a growing portfolio, we’re here to support you. Every stage brings different challenges — and opportunities — and our role is to give you the tools, guidance, and confidence to succeed on your own terms.
At Ditch Your OTA, we know that every holiday let owner’s journey is unique. That’s why our services are designed as flexible steps, not a rigid process. Whether you’re just starting out, looking to fine-tune your marketing, or ready to scale, you can dip into the support you need, when you need it. There’s no pressure to tackle everything at once — your journey is entirely at your pace.
Why Ditch Your OTA? Because we believe you should be in control of your holiday let business — not the big booking sites. While OTAs bring visibility, they also bring fees, restrictions, and rules that don’t always serve your best interests. Unlike other holiday let website companies, we don’t just churn out cookie-cutter templates. And unlike a local web developer, we speak your language — we understand bookings, pricing, and the realities of running a holiday let. With Ditch Your OTA, you get a website that looks beautiful, works brilliantly for guests, and is simple for you to manage. Add in our training, ongoing support, and insider industry know-how, and you’ll see why owners choose us to help them grow bookings on their terms.
Remember we ONLY build holiday let websites,we are experienced owners ourselves and our UNIQUE admin system means you get WordPress without the overwhelm.
Running a holiday let can feel overwhelming at times — from choosing the right tools, to setting prices, to keeping on top of marketing. Our Learning Hub is here to make things simpler. Packed with practical advice, expert insights, and easy-to-follow guides, it’s designed to give you the confidence (and shortcuts!) you need to grow your business on your terms.
Hi, I’m Michelle Woodman, the founder of Ditch Your OTA.
Like many holiday let owners, I started out relying on the big booking platforms because it felt like the only option. But I quickly realised the frustration of high fees, rigid rules, and having little control over my own business. I knew there had to be a better way — one where owners could attract guests directly, keep more of their earnings, and build a brand that people remembered.
That’s why I created Ditch Your OTA. It’s not just about building websites — it’s about giving holiday let owners the confidence, tools, and support to run their businesses their way.
I’m not a faceless developer or a generic agency. I’m someone who understands the day-to-day realities of hosting — from managing bookings to delighting guests — and I’ve built this business around helping owners succeed without being at the mercy of OTAs.
When you work with me, you get more than just a website. You get a partner who’s passionate about empowering you to take control, grow with confidence, and enjoy the freedom that comes from building your own direct booking success.
