For owners of larger homes
If you own a larger character or family home in Harrogate, Ilkley or the York suburbs, you want it handled properly and cared for like your own. We run the whole short let to one standard, with vetted guests, photo-verified cleans and damage protection behind every stay. Your home stays your home, and you can still use it whenever you want.
The honest answers
The worries owners of a larger home actually have before they hand over the keys, answered plainly. Open any one for the full answer.
Anything you would rather keep private is yours to put away. We help you lock off a cupboard, a study or a whole room so your personal belongings stay out of the let, and we photograph the home as guests will see it so the boundary is clear and on the record. The home goes out furnished and styled, but the things that matter to you stay yours.
This is where larger homes need real care, so we treat it that way. Every guest is ID and booking checked before they book, with sensible occupancy limits and clear house rules set up front, and smart-home noise alerts that catch a problem early rather than the morning after. We can decline party-shaped bookings, and we would rather turn one away than deal with the fallout. Damage protection sits behind the whole thing.
A well-run short let is often gentler on a home than a long tenancy, because it is cleaned and inspected between every stay rather than once a year. After each checkout the home is checked and every room photographed before the next arrival, so a scuff or a mark is logged against the stay that caused it, not left to build up. We flag the small jobs early and come to you with a price before anything bigger.
Always. It is your home. Block the school holidays, a long weekend or a whole month in the calendar and we plan around them, getting the home ready for you exactly as we would for a guest. A manager looks after your property for you; they do not own it, your guests or your dates.
What it could pay
A larger home tends to command stronger nightly rates and longer family stays. We take our 20% after the channel fee and net of cleaning, never on the gross. No monthly fees, no pricing-tool charges, no paid add-ons. Cleaning and trades are passed through at cost, and setup is real but usually waived.

Cared for like our own
Built by people from a security background, the whole operation runs on process, evidence and accountability. With a family home, that is the difference between hoping it is looked after and knowing it is.
Every guest is ID and booking checked before a stay is confirmed, with occupancy limits and house rules suited to a family home. We can decline a party-shaped booking, because the right guests are the first thing that protects your home.
Vetted local cleaners work to a written checklist with hotel linen, and after every stay the home is inspected and each room photographed before the next arrival. The photos land in your portal, so you see the home was ready, not just hear it was.
Cover is in place for the rare stay that does not go to plan. If something is broken we document it against the stay, handle the claim and chase the cost, and you see every step. A claim is never just our word for it.
