Taking care of your holiday home as if it were our own

All inclusive, managed services for the hands-off owner

Holiday letting can be hard work - dealing with guest questions and issues during their stay, maintaining high cleaning standards and washing and ironing the linen. Finest Retreats can take care of all of this to ensure your holiday let runs smoothly and, importantly, you can sleep easily knowing that it's in safe hands.

Keeping you informed

We are holiday let owners ourselves so know how important it is to ensure a consistent, quality housekeeping and laundry service. This is even more pronounced if you're not round the corner to pop in and check in on things yourself.

We use specially designed software to log all the housekeeping and maintenance tasks for every changeover and our cleaners must take before and after photographs which (should you wish) are automatically emailed to you. The regular updates provide peace of mind that your holiday home is still in pristine condition.

Remember, that we also charge good housekeeping bonds (damage deposits) as standard on all bookings as an extra incentive for holidaymakers to treat your house with respect.

No job too small

We understand that no two owners are the same, which is why we let you choose how your property is managed. Owners can opt for a hands-on approach to maintenance and housekeeping, others can rely on us to provide a fully managed or part-managed service. We are happy with whatever works best for you.

​

Finest Retreats can manage all aspects of your property’s upkeep, from weekly cleaning and laundry to annual chimney sweeps. You may already have a reliable cleaner but do not want to handle the administration; if you let us know, Finest Retreats can handle all the invoices on your behalf and deduct it from your monthly payment run. 

We operate a 24/7 emergency phone service for guests and deal with anything from being locked out to not being able to operate the heating. Finest Retreats can deal with all of these issues to save you the time and hassle, or will liaise with you first on bigger jobs.

Holiday let management costs

The costs for a changeover will vary by the size of the property and the nature of tasks required (e.g. if there's a hot tub to clean and fill). A rough guide for changeover costs are as follows:

​

• 1 bed: £50 - £150 per changeover

• 2 beds: £70 - £200 per changeover 

• 3 beds: £90 - £225 per changeover

• 4 beds: £120 - £300 per changeover

• 5+ beds: £175 - £500 per changeover

​

Costs for maintenance are charged on an ad hoc basis depending on the nature of the issue requiring attention.

​

Finest Retreats can either handle these costs on your behalf or remit you the gross bookings earnings for you to manage the payments to cleaners and maintenance yourself.
