List Your Property with Herdwick Cottages

Holiday Letting Agents | Lake District & Yorkshire Dales

It’s important to us that you, as the Owner, are comfortable about who is marketing your property.

Here’s why you should list your property with Herdwick Cottages:

  • We do not require a minimum amount of availability. It is your property, so you are free to stay there as much as you like, and it’s effortless to add your owner bookings via your Owner Portal.
  • We have a very straight-forward Owner Agreement that allows us to work together exclusively or non-exclusively – the choice is yours.
  • We charge one low commission fee per booking – there are no annual fees, setup fees or hidden costs.
  • Our software is specifically tailored to the self-catering market, and extended backups are made off-site, so your data and bookings are secure!
  • We have seamless 2-way integration with many 3rd party booking partners, including Airbnb, HomeAway, TripAdvisor Rentals, Booking.com, Home2Go and Holidu.
  • We offer free iCal links to automatically synchronise availability between your booking system and ours = no double bookings!
  • We are small enough to care – Your property won’t become a property-needle hidden in a property-haystack!
  • We have a modern, easy to use website which is constantly being developed.
  • We work hard on our SEO to promote our website and your property in search rankings.

We’re local folk finding great places to stay. If you would like to discuss listing your property, please send us a few details, and we’ll give you a callback.

We’re still open and available as usual.

We have adapted the way that we work so that we can provide a safe and contact-free onboarding process.

The initial meeting can be done online using a variety of online video platforms such as Skype, Zoom, Google Meet etc.

We will discuss the options available to you, how we can help you achieve your income goals and provide advice to ensure your property meets many of today’s guests’ requirements.

Forms and agreements are processed and signed online using DocuSign.

When you have your property in a “guest-ready” state and you are ready to proceed, we will arrange to visit your property alone so that we can:

  • Better understand the property, its features and layout, so that we can accurately write up the description.
  • Take professional photos of the property to be used in the listing.

We work closely with local cleaning companies and general maintenance providers which we can recommend to you.

We will be available to you to provide support or to answer any questions or queries that you may have during the onboarding process.

We cannot recommend Adam and Terry at Herdwick Cottages enough, as cottage owners, we find them fantastic to work alongside. They are approachable and nothing has been too much trouble in what can only be described as a difficult year. Their online owners portal is simple to navigate and use, they are flexible and willing to listen in terms of how we want our cottages to be advertised and priced. They are always at the other end of the phone and will go the extra mile to help in any way. Thank you, Adam and Terry.

Herdwick Cottages are a fantastic company to manage your holiday rental, your property is in very safe hands. The staff are very approachable and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble! They are always available and willing to help with advice and guidance. Their local knowledge of the area helps them market the property in the best way. The bookings we have achieved through them have surpassed other National Companies. I would highly recommend the services the company offers.

Adam and Terry are fantastic to work with! This is my first-holiday cottage and they are there for me any day of the week to help with any questions I have. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They give beautifully packaged complimentary tea, coffee biscuits which the guests love! Payment statements and booking notifications are so easy to follow with everything simply listed out. I can do nothing but recommend Herdwick’s they are great!

I chose Herdwick Cottages as I spoke to other Agents and they all talked the talk but don’t deliver. Adam & Terry were straight talking and said they would do their best for me. I couldn’t be happier, they have excelled in every way. Sorted any problems I had and bookings have been plentiful. The best thing I ever did was having them as my agent for my holiday let.
