Our Locations

South Wales

We know these places well – which sights are worth seeing, what activities to do, and where to grab a bite to eat

Why guests and landlords choose us

Whether you are staying or letting, the standard is the same

For guests

When you walk in, it should already feel ready for you: prepared properly, and set up so you can put your bags down and your feet up. No front desk, no waiting around for a key, and a local number if you need us.

For owners and hosts

Home owners come to us because the property has quietly become a second job. We take the whole thing off your hands, and your property is managed to the same standard as our own. You keep the asset and the upside.

Common questions

Before you book

Yes. Those platforms charge commission on every reservation, and that cost has to be built into the nightly rate we publish there. Booking direct removes it.

We currently manage homes in Penarth, located on the edge of Cardiff within 10 minutes of the City Centre, and Barry, a seaside destination within half an hour of Cardiff. Through our partner network we can also arrange direct-booked stays with trusted hosts elsewhere in the UK.

Space and self-sufficiency. Every home has its own living area and a kitchen, so you can cook a proper meal rather than eating out every night, spread out in the evening, and put a wash on. For stays longer than two or three nights, it is far more comfortable and often materially cheaper.

We do for select properties, and we even offer up to 20% off. If we are unable to accommodate your stay, we can source other properties through our partner network.

Yes. For large groups that require additional space, we can arrange a custom quote for nearby homes.

Yes. We are based in South Wales, but we are also able to manage properties in nearby towns, cities and regions. We can also manage properties anywhere in the UK through our co-hosting services.
