Holiday let consultancy

With 10 years in the hospitality industry, both in hotels and holiday letting, I have a vast amount of experience with online travel agents including Air bnb and Booking.com, their algorithms and what changes make all the difference to showing up in search results - not just on the third page but on the first.

Having recently moved to the lovely Dartmoor, I’d love to help those with properties nearby to pull the right levers to see their property succeed. Not just on traditional platforms but opening more doors to further ways to get bookings.

Your questions - Answered!

1. How can I improve my holiday let listing?
Small changes to your photography, listing title, description, pricing, amenities and overall presentation can make a significant difference. A holiday let listing review looks at your property from a guest’s perspective and identifies practical improvements that could help attract more bookings.

2. How can I get more bookings for my holiday rental?
Getting more holiday let bookings is about more than simply reducing your price. Strong photography, clear positioning, compelling descriptions, competitive pricing and presenting the right features to the right guests can all help your property stand out.

3. What is a holiday let listing audit?
A holiday let listing audit is a detailed review of your property’s online listing. It can cover your photographs, title, description, pricing, amenities, guest appeal, competitors and overall presentation to identify opportunities to improve performance.

4. Can you improve my Airbnb listing?
Yes. An Airbnb listing can often be improved through better positioning, clearer descriptions, stronger photography choices, more effective use of available information and reviewing how the property compares with similar local listings.

5. How do I make my holiday rental stand out?
The key is to understand what makes your property appealing and communicate it clearly. Your location, views, outdoor space, interiors, facilities and nearby attractions all need to be presented in a way that shows potential guests why your property is right for them.

6. Should I lower my holiday let prices to get more bookings?
Not necessarily. Competing purely on price can reduce your income without addressing the underlying reason a property may be underperforming. Reviewing your positioning, pricing strategy, presentation and competitors can help identify whether price is actually the issue.

7. What can I change to improve my Airbnb or holiday rental listing?
There are many potential improvements, from changing your main photograph and rewriting your opening description to refining your pricing, highlighting overlooked amenities and targeting specific guest types. Sometimes a few well-chosen changes can make a bigger difference than completely rewriting everything.

8. How often should I review my holiday let listing?
Your listing shouldn’t necessarily be considered finished once it goes live. Reviewing it throughout the year allows you to respond to seasonal demand, changing competition, guest feedback, pricing trends and changes to your property or local area.

9. Do you offer help managing holiday rental listings?
Yes. Links & Moor can help with everything from a personalised listing review to a full listing audit, rebuild and ongoing maintenance. We also plan to have a selection of holiday rentals we fully manage.

10. Can someone review my holiday let and tell me what needs improving?
Yes. A fresh, experienced perspective can highlight things that are easily overlooked when you manage your own property. Links & Moor reviews your listing from both the owner’s and potential guest’s perspective, identifying practical changes that could help your property work harder.
