Rent out your home and make money with Eventful Stays

Got your holiday plans sorted? That’s probably setting you back a bit. So while you’re off enjoying yourself, what’s your house doing? Sitting empty? Well not anymore! Rent out your home with Eventful Stays and make your holiday pay for itself!

Many people who are going away for a while will hire a house-sitter, yet another cost to include in the holiday. But here’s a way to let your home earn you money while you’re away. Renting out your home with Eventful Stays can provide you with a decent income while you are away. We specialise in self catering accommodation and are always looking for new homes to fill.

Thousands of people rent out self catering accommodation in the UK for their holidays and short breaks. There is a real move in the market away from the traditional hotels to self catering places to stay. The modern traveller is looking for a home away from home, a way to live and feel like a local while they are visiting a new place. It’s not enough to simply see the destination, to really experience a new place you have to become part of the community by living and shopping there.

After all, what do you get with a hotel? A bedroom with tea and coffee facilities and a TV – hardly a great place to relax and unwind is it? Whether it’s an unrated hotel or a 5-star masterpiece, a hotel is a hotel and can never be a match for the space and freedom of a self catering property. Apartment, house or mansion, a self catering property can provide a kitchen, living area, garden and dining room all to yourself, like this stylish luxury house in Salcombe with a kitchen, lounge, hot tub and wet room!

And let’s not forget entertaining! Many groups use self catering properties for special family events like birthday parties, anniversaries and more. With an entire property at their disposal, guests have the space to invite friends and family over for meals and parties, without having to pay the extortionate prices of the hotel restaurant! Large houses like this beautiful 5 bedroom barn conversion in Sussex are great for groups and families!

“The property was absolutely stunning and was way beyond our expectations – we had a wonderful stay and will definitely return to the house again.” – Sophie

The corporate market is also starting to move away from the hotels. Apartments in city centres and near conference venues are perfect for business people staying for more than a couple of days.

There are many other benefits of self catering accommodation over hotels – eating breakfast when you want, coming and going as you please and no noisy neighbours!

So come on and list your property with Eventful Stays, whether it’s a mansion, house, apartment or event just a spare room, you can make money from your property with Eventful Stays!
