That's worrying about the occupancy numbers! I'm not sure how often the calendar syncs, but the first booking was a week before the booking.com booking came through. Obviously I realise now that I should double check every time a booking comes through that all of my calendars are up to date, but I t...

Sofas

Hi all, just wondering if you could offer me some advice. I've had my property for almost 2 years now and business is great, but I'm thinking of replacing some of the furniture especially the sofas as there are a few small signs of wear and tear (we bought the property fully furnished so not entirel...

I have similar issues with Airbnb & like you I have got the hang of holiday lettings and wanted to get more exposure for our property. Have you managed to set the 3months ahead booking limit? If so, how did you find that on their site? I have a guest who wants to book next summer and when she tr...

Airbnb

I've recently started advertising with Airbnb. All good so far, I've just received payment for my first booking in October. I have also been contacted by a guest who is interested in staying next Summer. I sent her a pre-approved quote and she went to pay online assuming she'd only pay the deposit n...

Key Safe

Can anyone recommend a good key safe? We've just ordered a keysafe from Coopers but we're abit disappointed with it as its not that user friendly - it has no hinge so the key pad bit comes out completely & its too small for a key and a key ring without really faffing around to get them to fit in...

Thanks for responding Kemblecottage.
Yes, they stayed for business purposes and are European so i'm guessing they plan to claim back their VAT whilst they were staying in the UK.
We're not VAT registered, but would they have paid vat as part of their payment to Holiday lettings wouldn't they?

Holiday Lettings/VAT Invoice question....?

I have been contacted by a guest who stayed in my property recently requesting an Invoice with the VAT listed separately. The booking came via my advert with Holiday lettings. Is this something I should do or is this something Holiday lettings should provide them with? I assumed that as all payments...

Wifi packages and usage...

We've recently purchased a holiday let in the Cotswolds, our first official guests have been staying this weekend and leave tomorrow! One thing we haven't sorted out yet is wifi options for the property. I'm guessing that mobile wifi is our best option regarding data usage? Does any one have any sug...
