Master CohostYOUR RENTAL. OUR EXPERTISE

Short-let management in Cheltenham

A town with two very different calendars: a professional weekday market built around large employers and the festivals that fill every bed in the area on a handful of weeks a year.

How many properties do you let, or plan to?

Who books in Cheltenham

Festival weeks

The Cheltenham Festival in March, and the literature, jazz and science festivals, sell out the town and lift rates for miles around.

Professional and government employers

Large employers bring consultants, contractors and new starters who need somewhere for a month before they find a home.

Leisure and the Cotswolds

Weekend and holiday guests use Cheltenham as a base for the Cotswolds.

Three ways to work with us

Direct

You run your own let and want bookings without the platform fee.

£795 setup, then £39 a month

0% booking fee. You keep every pound a guest pays, less card and payout processing.

  • Your own branded booking website, live at its own web address from day one, and on your own domain if you have one
  • Your calendar shared with Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, and one channel's (or, through Guesty, every channel's) bookings shared back
  • Card payments through your own Stripe account, paid straight to you
  • A quote-and-invoice route for contractor and corporate stays of 28 nights or more
  • Search and AI-search markup, so Google and ChatGPT can read your listing
  • Hosting, security updates and backups

Grow

You want more direct and long-stay bookings, without doing the marketing.

£795 setup, then £149 a month

Everything in Direct. Still 0% booking fee.

  • Everything in Direct
  • A guest email list, with seasonal campaigns to past guests
  • Outreach to the contractors and companies who book long stays near you
  • A monthly report: bookings by channel, direct share, enquiries and what we did

Managed

You want the income without the work.

15% of booking revenue

10% on stays of 28 nights or more. £249 setup, which can be spread over your first 3 to 6 monthly statements. Cleaning passed on at cost. 30 days' notice.

  • Everything in Grow
  • Listing creation and optimisation on every channel
  • Pricing on every channel adjusted with demand and reviewed weekly by a person; your direct site uses your rate card
  • Guest messaging, vetting and check-in, every day of the year
  • Cleaning and hotel-grade linen, at cost with no markup
  • Maintenance, compliance and an owner portal with monthly statements
