Our comprehensive services ensure your property performs optimally on platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, VRBO, and our direct booking site. From tailored services to professional guest support, we make hosting hassle-free while maximising your rental income.

Whether your property is a one-bedroom apartment in Cheltenham city centre or a large family home near Cheltenham Racecourse, we’ll ensure it reaches its full potential on booking platforms.

What is the set up process?

We begin by getting to know you and your property, ensuring we understand your unique needs and goals. Once both parties agree to proceed, we’ll arrange an onboarding meeting at your property.

During this meeting, we’ll document key details, take professional photos, and start preparing your listing which we will then set up on the various platforms, keeping in mind the nuances for each to ensure maximum exposure for your property. From there, we handle everything from communicating with guests to making sure your property is set for its first booking.

How do I get paid?

At the start of every month, you’ll receive a detailed invoice summarising the previous month’s performance. This includes all income from bookings that checked in during that month, minus any operational costs (e.g., cleaning, maintenance) and our management fee. Payments are transparent and straightforward, giving you a clear view of your property’s financial performance without any guesswork.

What homes do you manage?

We manage a variety of properties, from one-bedroom apartments to spacious six-bedroom plus homes, ensuring each property is tailored to meet guest expectations. Our portfolio includes modern city-centre flats, elegant townhouses, cosy holiday cottages in the Cotswolds, and properties with premium features like swimming pools, hot tubs, and expansive gardens. Homes in Cheltenham particularly appeal to guests, offering everything from the bustling energy of its festivals to serene countryside walks nearby, making them ideal for weekend getaways or longer stays.
