Getting started
At Keys Holiday Cottages, we understand that finding a holiday letting agency is a big decision—one that requires trust, expertise, and a partner who truly cares about your property.
That’s why we prioritise open communication, support and transparency throughout the process so that you can relax and know that you and your property are in good hands. We understand that every owner has their own objectives and that one size does not fit all.
With our years of experience, we have come up with a fully flexible service to suit your individual needs, whether that is providing a marketing and booking service, or a fully management service.
Our QAC Gold Accreditation for the past 3 years proves our commitment to providing quality cottages and gives our customers and owners a label they know they can trust.
We can offer bespoke advice from the very beginning of your holiday letting journey…
The choice is yours. If you like the sound of the way we work, we’d love to hear from you.
Maximising your property’s potential
Our comprehensive knowledge of the local market means we can offer expert advice on the right pricing strategy and occupancy levels to ensure you achieve the best possible return on your investment. We constantly monitor market trends and adjust our approach to maximise your income while ensuring your guests are satisfied and the property is well looked after.
Local Knowledge
Location: We find that holidaymakers choose their holiday property for a variety of reasons, from ground floor due to mobility concerns to a modern property with an open plan kitchen/diner for family togetherness – whatever your property we are sure it will suit, one size does not fit all!
Close to amenities: being within walking distance of a local shop, pub, restaurant or bus stop is always popular, however some people prefer being rural and the peace and quiet
What happens to my personal belongings: we would not want anything to happen to your own belongings therefore we recommend storing anything of value in a locked cupboard/room or removing them completely, also holidaymakers like the property to feel less like someone’s family home…
What about cleaning: We can assist you in managing the linen and towel/cleaning as we work with lots of local companies.
What happens if something breaks: again we can get this repaired for you by our maintenance team.
Are there restrictions on our personal use of the property?: None at all… We firmly believe that, first and foremost, it is your property and you should be free to use it as much or as little as you wish. There is no charge for any aspect of using your own property be it booking or arranging cleaning/linen… all we ask is that you let us know when you will be using the property and respect any bookings we have taken.
Will my House Insurance cover holiday letting?: Probably not but it normally doesn’t cost too much extra to incorporate this. You will need to check with your insurers. We also require that you have at least £5,000,000 public liability within your insurance in case guests or cleaners have an accident whilst at your property.
Will it be financially rewarding?: Most owners choose to let their property to help with purchase or running costs. It is always nice visiting your property when you know it is paying for itself! In our experience, quality properties command a premium price and yes, letting your property will help greatly in giving you a good return on your investment. We will be delighted to visit your cottage with no obligation on your behalf and give an assessment on its letting potential and our opinions on the rates achievable.
