A Cotswolds holiday homes rental business has said it is experiencing "record levels" of trading amid a rapid expansion of its property portfolio. StayCotswold said year-on-year letting income for the final quarter of 2022 had doubled to £1.7m.
The Stow-on-the-Wold-based business added it was "on track" to achieve gross booking value of around £6m for the 12 months to the end of March - up from £3.2m the year before. Forward booking numbers for each property are also up 38% compared with 2021, the firm said.
StayCotswold’s portfolio includes cottages, houses, luxury converted barns, manor houses and farmhouses as well as a collection of shepherd’s huts and cabins. The company said it had doubled its number of properties in the past 12 months to 140, and was planning to grow the figure to 160 by the end of January - and to around 250 by the end of 2024.
