Our Story

Local Superhosts,

A Legacy of Care

Hosting guests in Harrogate since 2016 — nearly ten years as trusted Airbnb Superhosts.
We run every home the way we'd want our own run. Local knowledge, boutique-hotel standards and our own team on the ground, not a call centre. The things that matter most — cleaning, linen, maintenance and guest care — stay in-house.

Guests compare your home with every other listing in town. We'll tell you what to add, change or style so it competes from day one, and our sister interiors team can do it for you.

Questions

Frequently

Asked Questions

How much does Airbnb management cost in Harrogate?

We charge 15% of the revenue your property earns, with no VAT added on top, plus a one-off £500 set-up fee that covers a professional photo shoot, a rendered floor plan and getting your home live. Cleaning is paid by guests, not you.

What's included in the 15%?

Pricing, listings on Airbnb, Booking.com and 60+ other channels, all guest messaging, 24/7 check-in, cleaning and linen, inspections after every stay, maintenance and monthly reports.

How much could my property earn?

It depends on size, location and finish, so we give every owner a free, property-specific forecast before they commit. Request yours using the form below.

Can I still use my home?

Yes. Owner stays are unlimited. Block out any dates you like and we'll work around them.

Who cleans the property, and who pays for it?

Our own in-house housekeeping team cleans after every stay, with hotel-quality linen and towels. Guests pay the cleaning fee, so it doesn't come out of your income.

What if a guest damages something?

It's rare. Every stay is inspected afterwards, and the major booking platforms we work with carry substantial host damage protection. Our in-house maintenance team handles any repairs quickly.

Which areas do you cover?

Harrogate and selected surrounding areas. Send us your postcode using the form below and we'll confirm.
