How to choose a holiday let manager in Devon
Check what is included
Ask for a written list: listing and photos, pricing, guest messages, cleaning and laundry, maintenance, owner statements. Extras such as linen, consumables or repairs are often charged on top.
Compare like-for-like fees
Get the fee model in writing (a percentage of booking revenue, a fixed fee, or both) and ask what it is a percentage of: gross bookings, or revenue after platform fees and cleaning.
Ask about local rules
A good manager in Devon knows the local registration, safety and licensing rules and can tell you what applies to your property.
Look at portfolio size and focus
A manager with a handful of homes may give you more attention; a larger one may have more staff and marketing reach. Ask how many homes each property manager looks after.
Read reviews and check credentials
Look for owner reviews, not just guest reviews, and a claimed or verified profile. Ask for references from owners with similar homes.
Read the contract
Check the minimum term, notice period, who owns the listing and reviews if you leave, and how and when you are paid.
Fees
What holiday let managers in Devon charge
- Percentage of revenue
- The most common model: the manager keeps a share of each booking's revenue. Full-service management costs more than marketing or booking-only help.
- Fixed fee
- A flat monthly or per-booking fee, sometimes used for guest-communication-only or co-hosting services.
- Fixed fee plus a percentage
- A lower percentage with a fixed set-up or monthly fee on top.

Owner questions
Holiday let managers in Devon: questions owners ask
How many holiday let managers are there in Devon?
VRM Atlas lists 24 holiday let managers serving Devon (October 2026), including companies based in Dorset, Somerset and Taunton. The list is ordered by profile evidence (completeness, owner reviews, verification and responsiveness), never by payment.
How much do holiday let managers in Devon charge?
Most charge a percentage of booking revenue, a fixed fee, or a mix of both, and the rate depends on what is included (cleaning, linen, maintenance, pricing and marketing). Few managers in Devon have published their fees on VRM Atlas yet, so ask for written quotes: you can request up to five at once, free.
How many homes does a typical holiday let manager in Devon look after?
Of the 24 managers that publish a portfolio size on VRM Atlas, the median looks after 4 homes and the average 10 homes.
What does a holiday let manager do?
A full-service manager markets the property on booking sites and its own website, sets prices, handles guest messages and check-in, arranges cleaning, laundry and maintenance, and sends the owner regular statements. Some offer only part of this (for example guest communication or co-hosting). This is also called holiday cottage management, holiday home management or Airbnb management.
How do I choose a holiday let manager in Devon?
Compare what is included, the fee model and what it is charged on, local knowledge of Devon's rules, portfolio size, owner reviews and the contract terms (minimum term, notice, who keeps the listing). Shortlist three to five and ask each for a written quote.
Which booking software do holiday let managers in Devon use?
The booking software most often detected on these managers' public websites is Beds24 (63%), Guesty (25%) and Hostfully (21%). Detected on public websites, not market share.
Do managers pay to be listed or ranked on VRM Atlas?
No. Every public manager is listed for free and the order is based on profile evidence only. Paid placement, where it exists, is a separate slot labelled "Sponsored" and never changes the order.
Can I get quotes from several holiday let managers in Devon?
Yes. Describe your property once and choose up to five managers to ask for a quote. It's free for owners, and managers reply to you directly.
