How to send a text to find accommodation

Create a contact on your mobile phone called (for example) TEXTROOMS with the number 07797-803935 then send a text with either the dial code for the area you want to stay or the first 4 digits of the postcode. for example 01797 or TN31 01424 or TN34 we then send you a list of available property. the more detailed the postcode you enter the more accurate the reply

Your text to us costs your standard rate as charged by your phone service provider only if we have accomodation does our text reply get charged to you for making an enquiry at £1 (your network may charge you an additional amount beyond our control).

Our text to you will contain a list of available properties with rooms available for tonight in the following format

Red House (BB) 01797 222XXX £35
Daisys (SC) 01797 222XXX £45
The Lodge (H) 01797 222XXX £48

All you need to do is call the provider and enjoy your stay

about the TEXTrooms service

'I think this is an excellent idea, very simple, yet very effective. We know that 1066 Country is a fantastic destination, and visitors often want to stay longer than planned - with TEXTrooms quality accommodation here is just a text away'

"I am happy to support this innovative scheme- I think that it is a brilliant idea - so easy to use and it will be a boon to travellers looking for accommodation - particularly at times when the Tourist Information Centres are closed"

How it works

Find Accommodation for tonight Now

75% of available rooms in the UK are not linked to any type of booking system, and the local Tourist Information offices are usually closed in the evening so finding somewhere is often a challenge. We can list every accredited property in the UK area including all B&B - Hotels - Self Catering etc. Our computers manage availability and put visitors in touch with rooms in a few seconds.

Once a Venue is full the owner can either send us a text (owners do not get charged for this once they have registered their details with us) or they can update our system using a link in an email we have sent them to stop their property details going out on the TEXTROOMS service. Because our system is so reliable spending a £1 is going to let you get on and enjoy your visit. Or you can get a copy of the local yellow pages and call around - You will probably spend far more than a £1 doing it the old way.
