Web Site - Change in Terminology

Following some feedback, we have made a change in terminology in order to reduce confusion. Properties on Vacant Moments were listed as either a 'Basic' listing or 'Full' listing. These terms have been changed to 'Standard' listing and 'Advanced' listing respectively.
'Advanced' listings show current availability which is automatically updated whenever a property owner confirms or cancels a booking request. 'Standard' listings may show availability but it is up to the property owner to manually alter this.

Vacant Moments is live

After 13 months of hard work Vacant Moments has finally gone live. We would like to thank everyone who has been so patient waiting for this launch and for your support and enthusiasm.

The work is a long way from being over we have so many ideas to add to the site and we will be working constantly to build this web site into the best online accommodation booking service available.

We welcome all feedback and please let us know if you find any bugs (not the crawling type). We have been carrying out extensive testing but even so a bug does occasionally escape.
