Being located in Padstow, or along the nearby coastline, already stands your property in great stead for success. But excellent regional and national marketing campaigns, across a variety of media platforms, will help generate the highest possible level of year-round bookings.<\/p>\n<h3>Booking management<\/h3>\n<p>From taking the bookings and completing the admin, to managing the finances, we ensure guests and owners enjoy the very best holiday letting experience, every step of the way.<\/p>\n<h3>24-hour support<\/h3>\n<p>We provide support for both owners and guests at all times; we\u2019re available to contact via telephone 24 hours a day. Additionally, we have an Owner Portal and dedicated app, where you can keep up to date with your bookings and financial information.<\/p>\n<h3>Holiday let maintenance<\/h3>\n<p>Whether it be everyday property upkeep, servicing and maintenance, or emergency repairs, we have a network of trusted tradesmen at our disposal.<\/p>\n<p>Here are just some of the maintenance and management tasks we can arrange:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Regular services like window cleaning and gardening<\/li>\n<li>Annual services like chimney sweeping or gutter clearing<\/li>\n<li>Guest lock outs and emergency repairs, in the event of flooding or storm damage<\/li>\n<li>Extensive renovation management on behalf of owners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Laundry, linen hire and cleaning<\/h3>\n<p>If required, we can help find your property a suitable housekeeper, local to the Padstow area. They will complete your changeover cleaning and troubleshoot any housekeeping issues, liaising with us directly. Fresh linen, towels and welcome packs can also be sourced.<\/p>\n<h3>Holiday let regulations<\/h3>\n<p>We understand that regulations can be hard to understand. With this in mind, we have produced a health and safety guidance document that outlines various legislation you should be aware of. Additionally, our owners receive regular legislative updates from our expert legal team. We can also point you in the direction of professionals, who can carry out the required assessments, needed for self-catering accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever level of support you need, our dedicated New Property Consultants would be delighted to discuss your needs, and tell you more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnbraycornishholidays.co.uk\/letyourcottage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letting your holiday home<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more holiday letting information, visit our owner blog.

In contrast, some owners use us purely for securing high numbers of bookings, opting to take care of the cleaning and changeovers themselves.<\/p>\n<p>At John Bray Cornish Holidays, we understand no two owners are the same. With this in mind, we provide bespoke management packages, giving owners the perfect level of support for them. We know that flexibility is crucial, and we are happy to work to your requirements.<\/p>\n<p>We currently let a number of properties in the Padstow area, and are proud to have fabulous relationships with cleaners, caretakers and tradesmen in the town. This enables us to deliver the same exceptional service to both owners and guests in Padstow, as we continue to provide for those in Rock, Port Isaac and the surrounding areas.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"3\">What to look for in a holiday property management company<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2135\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johnbraycornishholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/02\/4.-JBCH-What-to-Look-for-Banner-Template.jpg\" alt=\"What to look for when choosing a holiday letting agency\" width=\"640\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are many agencies and holiday home management providers in Cornwall, and choosing your perfect partner can be daunting.<\/p>\n<p>Be wary of those racing to the bottom with low commission offerings, or those promising excessively high income projections. Instead, choose an agent who can back up their proposals with case studies of similar properties in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnbraycornishholidays.co.uk\/padstow-holiday-cottages.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">portfolio<\/a>, as justification. Opt for a company who aligns with your own values, and understands your ambitions for your property.<\/p>\n<p>At John Bray Cornish Holidays, this is how we stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n<h3>Location<\/h3>\n<p>Our passionate, dedicated team truly know and love the area; they are proud to be based here in North Cornwall, and are on hand to help.
