A holiday let

Ready for its first guests

Drag across the room, or press Play: from boxes on a bare bed, to the same room made ready, to the evening its first guests arrive.

The Guest-Ready Set-Up includes

  • A planning visit at the let.
  • A sourcing list to your budget.
  • Three on-site days of up to 5 hours each, to receive, place and style what you have bought for the let.
  • A room-by-room inventory.
