Property ManagementHow Professional Photography Increases Bookings
Guests decide in seconds. Professional photography is the highest-leverage investment a listing can make — here is the evidence and the craft behind it.
Prima Stays · The Cotswolds
Prima Stays manages holiday lets and Airbnbs in the Cotswolds from our base in Bath, at the southern end of the Cotswold Way. Listings, pricing, guests, housekeeping and maintenance, for one flat 15% fee.

Guests choose the Cotswolds for honey-stone villages, open fires and long weekends, and they pay well for a home that delivers it. They also notice everything: the linen, the welcome, how quickly a question is answered.
That is where a boutique manager earns its fee. Prima Stays takes on a limited number of homes, so yours gets its own pricing strategy, a listing built to stand out and a manager who knows the property personally.
We are based in Bath, where the Cotswold Way ends, and our focus is the southern Cotswolds. If your home is further north, call us and we will tell you straight whether we can look after it properly.
Already hosting on Airbnb and worn down by the workload? We can step in as co-host on your existing listing, so the listing, its reviews and its history stay yours while we run it day to day.
Full-service holiday let and Airbnb management in the Cotswolds. One fee covers our complete management service.
Listings written and photographed to sell the home, then distributed across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and our own direct booking site.
Rates set night by night against live demand, season and local events, so peak dates sell at full value and quiet weeks still fill.
Every enquiry and message handled for you, from first question to checkout, with guests vetted before they arrive.
Hotel-standard changeovers after every stay, with professionally laundered linen and an inspection before the next guest.
Trusted local trades for repairs, and gas, electrical and fire safety renewals tracked so nothing lapses.
A clear monthly statement and a 24/7 owner portal. Our fee is deducted at source and your net income is paid directly to you.
A considered onboarding that takes the work off your hands.
We learn about your property, your goals and how hands-off you want to be.
A tailored income projection for your exact postcode. Honest numbers, no inflated promises.
Styling, photography, listings and pricing, all set up and launched by us.
Your home earns while you step back. We handle the rest.
Few rural destinations in Britain are better known, and demand runs well beyond the summer.
Period cottages and larger houses for groups tend to perform best, and presentation matters more here than anywhere. See how professional photography increases bookings.

Our fee is a flat 15% of booking revenue, reduced to 12% for your first month. It covers the complete service: listings and marketing, dynamic pricing, guest communication, cleaning coordination, maintenance and monthly reporting. For comparison, the national operators advertise commission starting from 14% to 20% of revenue, in some cases plus VAT and a one-off onboarding fee (October 2026).
Our focus is the southern Cotswolds, within reach of our base in Bath: Castle Combe, Marshfield, Badminton, Tetbury, Malmesbury, Nailsworth, Minchinhampton, Painswick and Cirencester. If your home is further north, call us and we will tell you straight whether we can look after it properly.
Less than you might expect. Summer and school holidays are the peak, but the Cheltenham Festival, Badminton Horse Trials, autumn at Westonbirt, Christmas and winter weekends by the fire all bring bookings. We price every night against that calendar so quieter weeks still earn.
Yes. Period homes are what guests come here for, and we manage a Georgian apartment in central Bath. Older buildings need more care, so we give guests clear house guidance and check the property between stays.
Yes. We can join your existing listing as co-host, so the listing, its reviews and its history stay in your name while we run it day to day. We can also add Booking.com, Vrbo and direct bookings so you are not relying on one platform.
It depends on location, size, parking and finish, which is why we do not publish a headline figure. We prepare a free income projection for your exact postcode from live market data, and we keep the numbers conservative so you can plan on them.
Yes. The service is built for owners who are not nearby, whether that is London or overseas. We deal with guests, housekeeping and maintenance, and you see everything in a monthly statement and the owner portal.
Yes. Tell us the dates you want and we block them on every platform. The home stays yours.
Our fee is deducted at source and your net income is paid directly to you. You receive a clear statement every month and can check bookings and occupancy at any time in the owner portal.
Tell us a little about it. We'll prepare a conservative income projection for your postcode and call you to talk it through.
