Holiday Home Management: Choosing the right service for your property.

At the start of any holiday letting journey, the question of holiday home management is first task that you need to tackle in order to ensure the success of your business.


Looking after and running a holiday cottage can be a complex and time-consuming process. From managing bookings, to cleaning, linen hire or laundry, ongoing maintenance, refuse collections, window cleans, welcome hampers, guest requests and changeovers, all of which are integral to the successful running your holiday let business.


Whether you choose to be involved on a day-to-day basis and take care of the finer details yourself, or you live away from your property and would rather relax and let us do the work for you, Falmouth Cleaning & Property Management are here to help.


We offer two holiday let management options; owner managed and full agency managed services. Whatever you decide, we have a tailored holiday home management solution to suit both your needs and that of your property.


Things to consider when choosing a holiday home management service.


Falmouth Cleaning & Property Management offer different levels of holiday home management to property owners. The first thing to do before choosing the best one for you, is to understand exactly what’s involved in letting your holiday home. Whilst initially it can appear to be fairly simple, there are a few factors you need to consider in order to have a successful holiday let.


Whichever service option you choose, we will take care of all letting agent communication, administration and guest correspondence.


Here are just some of the main operational factors to keep in mind that will need to be handled by either yourself or your holiday home management company:


  • Housekeeping, including cleaning and laundry or linen hire
  • Welcome Hampers
  • Property checking and security
  • Property maintenance
  • 24-hour guest support
  • Safety checks and legislative documents, including annual fire risk and gas assessments
  • Key collection and property presentation

So you're letting your holiday cottage, and you are met with the question - "Do I allow dogs?". Let us answer that question with a statistic from QualityTourism.com that "72% of dog owners would take more holidays in the UK if there was a better attitude to dogs". Interesting, isn't it! Furthermore, "77% of dog owners earn over £40k per year" meaning they are more likely to be able to take multiple holidays each year. Now first things first, remember that most dogs wont be the size of our boy pictured above! Secondly, in our experience most well behaved dogs are not difficult to clean up after. In fact, in some cases they are easier than the aftermath of having young children staying! But you do need to set ground rules, let your guests know what is expected of them if they want to bring their dog with them on holiday.
