For B&Bs and Guesthouses

Getting noticed when the chains outspend you

Independent guesthouses win on character and location, but those are the hardest things to show on a booking site. Real View helps future guests discover and fall for your setting before they choose where to stay.

The challenge: a great location no one can see yet

When your marketing budget is mostly your own time, competing with hotel chains and the big booking platforms feels uneven. They have advertising spend and algorithm placement; you have something they rarely match — a genuinely characterful setting that guests remember and recommend. The problem is that almost no one sees it until they have already booked.

Real View helps you lead with your strongest asset. We place a live, real-time view of your surroundings in front of a wide audience, with your guesthouse named on screen. Instead of a single photo lost in a grid of listings, people watch your countryside, coast or village as it is right now — and that is what turns a passing glance into a booking enquiry.

Your setting is why guests choose you. A live view lets thousands of people experience it before they ever search for a room.

What it does for your guesthouse

Reach and recognition you could not otherwise afford — without adding to your workload.

💷

More direct bookings

Guests who discover you through your view come to you directly, helping you depend less on platforms that take a cut of every stay.

🔎

Get discovered

Your guesthouse name travels with your view into homes and workplaces, reaching people who would never have found your website on their own.

🏡

Show what makes you different

A living view of your setting conveys the warmth and character that big-brand listings flatten into identical photographs.

No extra work

No posts, no editing, no algorithms to chase. Once your view is live it simply runs, leaving you free to look after your guests.

How It Works

You can be up and running whether or not you already own a camera.

1

Connect your view

Already stream a camera online? We can work with your existing feed. Starting from scratch? We supply one or more Real View plug-and-play cameras — they arrive ready to go live, with no technical work on your part.

2

We take it live

We handle the deployment. Your view goes live as a stable, broadcast-quality feed with your business named on screen — nothing for your team to manage day to day.

3

Reach your audience

Your view goes live in the free Real View app, with your business named on screen for everyone watching at home. You can run the very same view on a TV at your own venue, turning a screen by the door into a live window onto your location.

Frequently Asked Questions

I run a very small place. Is it worth the effort?
Yes — smaller, independent properties gain the most, because this gives you reach you could not otherwise afford. A single memorable view can introduce your guesthouse to a wide audience at no advertising cost.
What does it cost?
If you already have a live feed online, listing it on the Real View TV app is free — it stays on your own server, so it costs us nothing to carry. If you would like us to supply the camera, plans start at £99 a month and the camera is included: we ship it, we own it, we manage it remotely — there is nothing to buy. From then on the same feed reaches the TV app, YouTube, an ad-free live window on your own website, and ready-to-post social clips.
Is it complicated to set up?
No. If you already stream a camera, we can often use that feed. If not, we supply one or more Real View plug-and-play cameras with no technical knowledge required.
How does it actually help bookings?
Your guesthouse is named on screen for everyone watching in the Real View app, putting your name in front of people exactly when they are dreaming of a getaway. It builds recognition and gives undecided guests a reason to choose you.
Do I control what the camera shows?
Completely. You decide where it points — the garden, the hills, the coast or the village — and you can change or pause it at any time.
