Exmoor Accommodation Website History: Launched in
September 2001 to help atttract visitors to Exmoor National Park.
Born out of an idea, when desperate to fill own empty accommodation
during the foot and mouth period. A late-availability page followed
in 2002, which then turned into a website in its own right... Next4weeks
which has been revamped 3 times in 5 years, is now a content managed
website. Next4weeks still works to my original basic design, but is
now better looking, searchable and open to all advertisers on request.
A revamped Exmoor Accommodation won South West Tourism
Website of the Year in 2003. Exmoor Accommodation has been revamped
twice since. Devon Accommodation was establised in
2003, Somerset Accommodation 2006, Cornwall Accommodation 2007 all
Google ranked 4. Just like good quality accommodation all sites are
constantly upgraded. The portal Britain Accommodation 2007. All Trade
under the name Britain Accommodation Websites.
All Britain's National Parks are superb ... Exmoor National Park
