We set aside half of the equity from the sale of our previous property to be able to find a suitable cottage in the Peak District. After a long search as these properties are very sought after we finally found a quaint little cottage in Castleton and Cavedale Cottage was born.
Through a successful utilisation of social media and free property listings on Holiday Lettings and Trip Advisor, we managed to achieve over 80% occupancy in the first year.
This only improved and it allowed me to develop a custom website which suited our booking schedule and framework and accept booking directly on our WordPress website with minimal fees. The only costs we incurred for all our bookings from the 2nd year onwards were the transaction fees Stripe charged.
