Small Business Bank Account or Mobile Payment System to Current Account?

Options
Hoping to rent out self-catering 1 bed conversion this summer for a few months whilst family away but not sure if I need small business account/mobile payment system for taking bookings... bit of a minefield so not sure where to start... Any advice appreciated.  Zettle, SumUp or Lopay???

    How are you going to be taking the bookings? Most use an agent and so the agency deal with taking the card payment. 

    Zettle works well for in person transactions but presumably you want to take payments over the internet in which case whilst yes Zettle can generate links for payments I'd be inclined to use the more trusted/well known PayPal (who own Zettle anyway).

    Hope to take bookings myself via phone... looking at other options like AirB&B but may try to set up my own website so may need online booking system.  Still researching options but open to advice...
