As a holiday let management agency based in the heart of the Cotswolds, we know that one of the most appealing elements of owning a holiday cottage here is that the area is not a seasonal destination like the coastal areas of Cornwall or the water based activities that make the Lake District popular. The Cotswolds AONB covers a large area and has so much to see and do on any day of the year, that guests can holiday year after year and always find something new to see and do.
Compared to other locations for holiday lettings UK, the Cotswolds has something to do in every season. And as a locally based holiday let management agency, our team is experienced in supporting owners to ensure they can maximise the return on their investment throughout the year.
Our bespoke dynamic pricing
Our in house dynamic pricing tool ensures our owners can maximise their returns while still offering excellent value to guests. We do this by monitoring the market and our own booking volumes to adjust your rates in real-time. And whilst guests have flexible booking periods, our pricing ensures our owners are not left with empty periods without income.
Our holiday let management teams have a wealth of experience in advising owners to ensure their holiday cottage achieves the maximum amount of bookings that they are hoping for. And you can find out more about how much you could earn here.
Flexibility around seasonal holidays
Seasonal holidays like Christmas and Easter, as well as school holidays, are prime times for holiday lettings UK. Our holiday let management team works in advance to set any offers around these key booking periods, ensuring both guests and owners benefit from long weekends and busier times. Allowing long weekend stays around bank holidays or offering extended stays during school breaks can make your property more appealing to a wider audience.
Eco-friendly adjustments for winter
Making eco-friendly changes can not only enhance the guest experience but also help reduce your running costs – especially in the colder months. Our holiday let management team can offer advice on simple adjustments like draft-proofing doors and windows, adding thicker duvets and blankets to beds, and installing a wood-burning stove in the sitting room. All of these touches can help make your property feel warm and inviting during the cooler autumn and winter.
Additionally, switching to LED bulbs and using smart thermostats can help minimise energy consumption without compromising on comfort. We find that these eco-friendly upgrades are increasingly popular among guests who appreciate sustainability and can also lead to significant savings on your utility bills.
Adding a touch of luxury for Christmas
When it comes to Christmas holiday let management, attention to detail can make all the difference. Decorating your holiday cottage with festive touches can create a magical experience for your guests and set your property apart from others. A beautifully decorated fireplace, a wreath on the door, twinkling fairy lights in the windows, and a few well-placed festive ornaments can transform your cottage without too much work for you.
