First guests are booked. You need the property **absolutely perfect** - one bad review when you're starting out can kill your bookings for months.
Holiday let prep isn't just cleaning. It's making sure every single thing a guest might use, touch, or complain about is sorted.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Holiday let guests are brutal with reviews. One missing toilet roll, one thing not working, one unclear instruction - 3 stars instead of 5. Getting it right from the start protects your future income.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Ongoing service?** Once your holiday let's up and running, I can manage regular changeovers between guests. Keep standards high, reviews good, bookings flowing. **What guests notice most:** Cleanliness (especially bathroom), WiFi working, clear instructions, enough supplies. Get those four right and you're 90% there. **Common issues to fix before launch:** Poor WiFi, complicated heating controls, unclear bin arrangements, not enough storage for guest stuff. Find and fix these before first guests. **Exeter holiday let market:** Lots of competition, so standards matter. University families, tourists, business travelers - they all expect proper hotel-style quality now, not basic rental standard.
Frequently Asked Questions about Holiday let prep in Honiton
What's the difference between holiday let prep and a regular changeover?
Holiday let prep is the full initial preparation before you start letting - deep clean, safety checks, stock with all essentials, set up welcome info, make sure everything's perfect. Regular changeovers after that are quicker maintenance cleans between guests.
What do you check as part of holiday let prep?
Everything a guest will use - appliances all working, WiFi password displayed, heating/hot water works, smoke and CO alarms tested, TVs and remotes working, fresh linen, toiletries stocked, kitchen essentials present, instructions available for everything. Basically making sure guests have zero complaints.
Can you advise on what supplies a holiday let needs?
Yes - I've prepped loads of holiday lets and know what guests expect. Toilet rolls, towels, basic toiletries, tea/coffee, dishwasher tablets, that sort of thing. I can advise on what's essential versus nice-to-have based on your budget and star rating.
Do you arrange ongoing changeovers after initial prep?
Yes - once the property's set up and guest-ready, I can do regular changeovers between bookings. Deep clean, linen change, restock, safety checks. Keeps your reviews good and your bookings flowing.
What if something's broken or needs fixing?
I'll identify anything not working during prep and quote for repairs. Better to find and fix before first guests arrive than get bad reviews. Common stuff is dodgy WiFi, broken appliances, missing essentials - all fixable before launch.
