Choosing a Holiday Let Agency in Dorset

When choosing a holiday let agency in Dorset, it’s important to consider a range of factors.  

At Dream Cottages, we have been supporting owners for over 35 years and have over 400 properties in our portfolio.  

Read on for our guide to holiday let agents in Dorset and how to choose the one best for your requirements.  

Local holiday let agency vs National

One of the first considerations will possibly be locality. Do you want an agency that’s local and that will support you or are you happy with a distance service?  

The benefits of choosing a local agency include having the opportunity to meet face to face and discuss your property.  

The benefits of using a distance service with a national holiday agency include having national exposure for your holiday let. 

At Dream Cottages, we are part of the Sykes Holiday Cottages family. This means our owners get both the support and marketing of a local and national holiday let agency.

Holiday let management in Dorset 

You may also want to think about holiday let management and if that’s something you’d like to do on your own or through a holiday let agency.  

The benefits of having an agency look after your property’s changeovers and maintenance leaves you as the property owner with more time and less to worry about. 

At Dream Cottages we offer different types of property management. This ranges from: 

Fully managed services where owners can benefit from both property management and changeover management. 

Partially managed services where owners can choose changeover management only. 

Owner managed applies when the owner decides they would like to manage both the property maintenance and cleaning management of their holiday home themselves.
