Meeting guest expectations

A few simple touches can make a big difference to your guests – and your revenue. We’ve summarised our advice below:

Accessibility for all guests

It’s important to consider how your property caters to a wide range of guests, including those with mobility issues. Simple changes, such as ensuring doorways are wide enough for wheelchairs, or adding slip mats in the shower, can make a huge difference. Think about ground-floor bedrooms, step-free access, and accessible bathroom features. These improvements not only broaden your guest base but also demonstrate that you’ve thought of every detail.

Kitchen essentials

Guests often want the convenience of being able to cook basic meals during their stay. We recommend equipping your kitchen with a microwave, good-quality utensils, and a reliable coffee machine. Thoughtful touches like these create a home-away-from-home experience and keep your guests coming back.

Decorating for Christmas

The festive season is a prime time for holiday lets, and guests love the charm of a home that feels welcoming and cosy. Whether it’s a full Christmas tree or a few simple decorations like a wreath and some fairy lights, embracing the season can create magical memories for your guests and set your property apart.

Games rooms, pools and hot tubs

Adding a games room or including extras like a hot tub or outdoor fire pit can significantly boost your booking potential. These touches not only elevate the guest experience but can also justify higher nightly rates, improving your property’s overall appeal and profitability.

Providing floor plans

Our guests love to visualise the layout of a property before they arrive. Floor plans also help to reduce queries, improve accessibility, and increase bookings.

Seasonal property checklist

Keeping your property in tip-top shape all year round is key. From making sure everything is ready for summer guests to preparing for winter stays, we offer checklists to help ensure your home remains as appealing as ever, no matter the season.

Small-but-mighty changes to make to your holiday home

Trends evolve over time, and guest expectations do too. But there are a few simple, timeless tweaks that can really pay off – we show you how in our interiors blog.
