IS YOURS A SAND & STONE HOME?

We stay deliberately small so every home gets its own plan, and someone from the team visits every property before it joins. We look for:

— Character. Remarkable interiors, real history, or both; a home that feels considered and warm.

— A sense of place. Somewhere guests want to explore, from Cornish coves to the wilds of Skye.

— Hotel-standard comfort. Good beds, good linens, and a kitchen people want to cook in.

— An owner who cares. Someone who wants a partner, not just a listing.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

Everything below is included in one commission. No set-up fee, no photography bill, no extras:

A CURATED LIST

You’ll be part of a small, considered collection our guests trust, so your home never gets lost in an endless list.
EXPERT MARKETING

We pay for styled photography and film. Our PR agency gets your home in national titles, our newsletters and social media keep them in front of guests.
AGREED TARGETS

We agree occupancy and revenue targets with you at the start, manage pricing within limits you set, and review them with you every year.
GUEST MANAGEMENT

We handle enquiries, bookings, payments, and guest messages at all stages of their stay. Your house manager looks after changeovers, and we can introduce one if required.

OUR TERMS

Commission: 18% + VAT if we’re your only agent. 20% + VAT if you also let elsewhere.

Airbnb, Booking.com & other sites: We price them above our direct rate to cover their fees, so you earn the same as from a direct booking. No extra charge.

Your own stays: Unlimited and free, for you, your family, and friends.

Photography: We commission and pay for a professional shoot, refreshed when your home changes.

Payments: A statement within 10 working days of each month end, with payment by BACS within 48 hours.

Guest money: Held in a ring-fenced client account until it’s paid to you.

Term & notice: No fixed term. Six months’ notice either way, and a seven-day cooling-off period after you sign.

Pricing: We agree a rate card and limits with you, then manage prices within them. Anything outside, we ask first.

We also ask for a few low-season nights a year for press and photography stays, always agreed in advance.

Not only are they very successful at helping me achieve targets - but they are all genuinely nice people to work with. I can highly recommend them for short term property let owners.

We are delighted with Sand & Stone. The team is very supportive, knowledgeable and, above all, friendly and helpful. With their help and effective marketing, our cottage has performed well above our expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sand & Stone Escapes to other prospective owners and guests alike.

During three years of working with Sand & Stone, we've been very happy with the excellent level of occupancy and yield from our two holiday lets and find the team to be collaborative, helpful and flexible.

Sand and Stone provides a turn key model to let your property out. The team is approachable and responsive and we have been impressed by the energy behind the marketing team.

It is worth noting that Sand & Stone is extremely good at marketing, using a mix of influencers, editorial articles with reputable outlets, and social media. They helped me set clear targets for occupancy levels and revenue at the outset, and have worked hand in hand with me to achieve these targets - which we have.

I've been working with Sand & Stone for 18 months and they now manage two properties for me. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive. They are very proactive and addressed any issues very quickly and effectively. I have regular contact with them to discuss occupancy levels and pricing, making sure any adjustments needed due to market circumstances are met.

ANY QUESTIONS?

WHO LOOKS AFTER CHANGEOVERS & CLEANING?

You or your house manager. We send them every booking and housekeeping detail, and if you need someone, we’ll introduce trusted local housekeepers.

CAN I KEEP LETTING THROUGH OTHER AGENTS OR MY OWN WEBSITE?

Yes. Our non-exclusive rate is 20% + VAT; calendars stay in sync so nothing double-books.

HOW DO YOU SET PRICES?

Together. We agree a seasonal rate card and discount limits at the start, and review it after 60 days and every January.

WHEN DO I GET PAID?

Monthly, within 48 hours of your statement, which arrives within 10 working days of month end.

WHAT IF I WANT TO LEAVE?

We require six months’ notice in writing. Bookings already taken are honoured.

IS VAT CHARGED ON COMMISSION?

Yes, at the standard rate. If your letting business is VAT-registered, you may be able to reclaim it.
