Capabilities

Tools 9

begin_checkout

Produce the secure HolidayFox checkout link for a quote. The guest opens the link and pays on holidayfox.com. This tool takes no payment and does not confirm a booking.

Discovered
check_availability

Check which dates are free. With destinationId alone it returns the site-wide availability calendar. With accommodationTypeId it returns per-date availability and the party-adjusted nightly price for that one unit. Dates are YYYY-MM-DD and the window is limited to 120 days. Returns availability and nightly prices only; the full stay total comes from get_quote.

Discovered
get_host_features

What HolidayFox offers accommodation owners and hosts (not guests): the booking widget, live chat, websites, listings and calendar sync with Airbnb, Booking.com, Pitchup and other booking sites, including one export link per site, linked whole-site and exclusive-use bookings, 15-minute imports and nightly link tests. Returns features, setup steps, FAQs and contact details.

Discovered
get_listing_details

Full facts about one HolidayFox destination: description, location, amenities, restrictions, check-in/out times, cancellation policy, whether it confirms instantly or by request, and every accommodation type with its size, sleeps, minimum stay and price. Data is live from the HolidayFox booking system.

Discovered
get_quote

Get the authoritative total price for a specific stay directly from the HolidayFox booking system, including any length-of-stay discount and any optional extras passed in `addons`. Returns a quote id for begin_checkout, so the checkout total matches this quote, extras included. Does not hold the dates or make a booking.

Discovered
get_reviews

Read published guest reviews for a HolidayFox destination — star ratings, what guests said, and any reply from the owner. Returns an average rating and the most recent reviews.

Discovered
list_addons

List the optional extras a specific accommodation type offers — things like firewood, a hot-tub session, an extra guest, or breakfast — with their prices. Returns product ids accepted by get_quote as `addons`.

Discovered
message_owner

Send a guest's enquiry to the site owner by email; the owner replies to the guest directly. Suited to sold-out dates, questions the listing details leave open, and request-to-book sites. Requires the guest's name, email address and message.

Discovered
search_stays

Search HolidayFox for UK holiday accommodation — farm stays, glamping, shepherd huts, caravan and camping pitches, and self-catering cottages. Filter by area and by amenity/audience tags. When checkinDate and checkoutDate are supplied, each result carries the live total price for that exact stay and only genuinely bookable options are counted. Returns destination ids used by the other tools.
