Are you a holiday let owner in the Peak District looking to boost bookings, streamline your property management and reclaim your time?
We’re Matt and Kerry at Precious Places. We help Peak District holiday let owners increase bookings, simplify day-to-day management and free up their time with a fully managed, end-to-end service. Having spent much of our lives in the Peak District, both professionally and personally, we know it well and genuinely love sharing it with others.
Our combined experience
We bring together expertise in business consultancy and the short-term rental and property sector, alongside Kerry’s extensive experience as an Operations Director.
Matt will be your main point of contact. He has supported start-ups and small businesses in launching and growing successfully, and, more recently, established a property business in Bulgaria. There, he delivered an end-to-end service, helping clients invest in the market and build their own property and land portfolios.
We have hands-on knowledge of Peak District holiday cottage management
Most recently, together we launched and managed our own holiday cottage in the Peak District, giving us first-hand experience of what it takes to run a successful short-term let.
As property owners ourselves, we understand the challenges involved and use that insight, alongside our in-depth knowledge of the area, to help others maximise their property’s potential.
How our fully managed service can help your holiday let reach its true potential
Our approach is simple: reliable management, great guest experiences and consistent attention to detail, so your property performs at its best without adding to your workload.
We take care of every aspect of your holiday let, from optimising your listing to managing guest communication. Your property is marketed across leading platforms, including Airbnb and Booking.com, to maximise visibility and bookings.
We handle reservations, vet guests, coordinate seamless check-ins and provide 24/7 guest support. Each stay is supported by professional cleaning, fresh linen and hotel-quality toiletries, ensuring a consistently high standard.
Our team works together to make sure your property stands out from the competition and delivers an exceptional experience for every guest.
Why choose us for your Holiday Let Management?
Low onboarding fee
“Onboarding” is the process of getting your property ready for hosting. You’ll be provided with a simple online checklist to work through at your own pace, and we’re always on hand to support you if you need any guidance along the way.
The initial onboarding fee includes professional photography and a secure key box.
Professional photography
We only work with professional photographers to showcase your property at its best. As part of the onboarding process, we’ll arrange a convenient time to capture high-quality images.
Strong photography plays a key role in attracting bookings on short-term letting platforms, so we prioritise it from the very start.
We offer a 12-month rolling contract
We don’t believe in restrictive long-term contracts. Instead, we offer a simple 12-month rolling agreement that gives you flexibility and peace of mind.
There are no hidden fees, and you’re free to step away at the end of any 12-month period.
You will have full access to a client portal app
Once your property is up and running, you can keep track of everything through your app. From occupancy and earnings to upcoming bookings, reviews and availability, everything is in one place.
It’s all about keeping you informed, with complete transparency and visibility at every stage.
24/7 Guest support team
Delivering an exceptional guest experience starts from the very first enquiry. We provide responsive, round-the-clock support, a smooth check-in process and clear, consistent communication throughout each stay, ensuring your guests feel well looked after at every stage.
Property safety
While no rental is completely risk-free, we take proactive steps to protect your property beyond standard platform measures. Every guest is carefully vetted, and we avoid short weekend bookings that are more likely to lead to parties or misuse.
For added peace of mind, enhanced insurance cover is included for full-time clients, helping to safeguard your property should any issues arise.
What will happen after I sign up with you?
Once you sign up, we begin the onboarding process to get your property ready for letting. This includes arranging professional photography, carrying out an initial clean and installing a secure key box.
We also take the time to understand your property in detail so we can manage it effectively and address any issues quickly.
Onboarding typically takes around 14 days, although we can move much faster if needed, sometimes getting everything up and running within just a few days.
Why choose us?
Managing a short-let property on your own can be time-consuming, often taking up to 40 hours a month, especially in the early stages.
We take care of everything on your behalf for a percentage of the booking revenue, allowing you to step back while your property continues to perform.
With a professional approach to pricing, marketing and guest management, we’re often able to increase overall booking value, meaning many owners not only save time but also see stronger returns.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us today
If you’re based in the Peak District and want to generate maximum income from your property while maintaining the highest level of safety, our service is the perfect fit for you. Whether you wish to increase rental income or are a frequent traveller seeking more time to spend away, we can help you.
We look forward to working with you!
