Change is a natural part of any thriving community, and here at the resort, it always brings a mix of nostalgic reflection and fresh excitement. Today, we have some bittersweet news to share regarding our property portfolio, alongside a massive welcome to the newest addition to our holiday family.
As we navigate these updates, our core mission remains exactly the same: providing unparalleled management, maximising your property’s potential across all major booking platforms, and fostering a community where owners feel genuinely supported and valued.
Here is a look at how our landscape is evolving this month.
A Fond Farewell to The Hawthorns
First, we must share some sad news. We are officially saying goodbye to The Hawthorns, the beloved lodge nestled within the lovely surroundings of Woodland View.
The owner of The Hawthorns nearing the end of their lease agreement. Unable to renew, they made the decision to sell the lodge back to the resort. While we are incredibly sad to see them go, we completely understand and support their decision as they enter this next chapter.
Managing The Hawthorns has been an absolute pleasure, and we want to publicly thank the owner for their trust, collaboration, and partnership over the years. They have been a fantastic part of our community, and the lodge has created unforgettable holiday memories for countless guests. We wish them nothing but the absolute best in their future endeavours!
A Warm Welcome to Millbury Lodge!
As one door closes, another beautiful one opens. We are absolutely thrilled to announce the arrival of Millbury Lodge, a stunning new addition to our portfolio located in the prestigious Templar Rise area.
| Property: | Millbury Lodge |
| Location: | 9 Templar Rise |
| Features: | Large, double-aspect design, premium finishes, high guest capacity |
Millbury Lodge is an exceptional property. Because it is a large, double-aspect lodge, it is flooded with natural light and offers guests expansive, panoramic views of the surrounding scenery. This layout is highly sought after by holidaymakers, making it a massive asset to our collective marketing efforts.
Why Millbury Lodge Chose Us
The story of how Millbury Lodge came to join us is a testament to the incredible community you help us build.
The owners of Millbury Lodge were previously with another property management company within the resort. Unfortunately, their experience with their property management left a lot to be desired, prompting them to look for a team that treats properties with the care and attention they deserve.
While researching their options, they started chatting with existing holiday owners in our network. After hearing firsthand accounts of our transparency, dedication, and consistent booking results, they knew they had found their new home. We are incredibly flattered by this word-of-mouth recommendation. There is no higher praise than an owner advocating for us to their peers, and we pledge to give Millbury Lodge the same elite level of service that earned us that reputation.
Strengthening Our Presence in Templar Rise
The arrival of Millbury Lodge isn’t just great news on its own—it also strategically strengthens our positioning within the resort. Millbury Lodge sits near Devon Comfort, another wonderful lodge within Templar Rise. This means we now have a powerful, interconnected cluster of premium properties in this zone. Millbury joins Bracken Lodge, the iconic A-Frame, next door to Tor View, which joined us earlier in the year.
From an operational standpoint, having properties grouped together like this is a massive win. It allows our cleaning, maintenance, and inspection teams to work with maximum efficiency, ensuring turnaround days run like clockwork.
What This Means for You: The Power of 12
With the departure of The Hawthorns and the arrival of Millbury Lodge, our total portfolio now stands at 12 premium properties. Reaching 12 properties hits the perfect sweet spot for a boutique holiday management company. We are large enough to hold significant marketing power, yet small enough to ensure that your property never becomes just a number on a spreadsheet.
Why 12 is Our Portfolio “Sweet Spot”:
- Dominant Platform Marketing: With 12 high-performing listings, our agency accounts hold higher algorithm rankings across major platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO. This collective strength drives more traffic to all of our listings.
- Cross-Selling Opportunities: When a prospective guest inquires about a date that is booked at Tor View or Bracken Lodge, we can immediately redirect them to Millbury Lodge or your property. We keep guests within our network rather than losing them to competitors.
- Focused, Dedicated Care: We are fiercely protective of our time. By maintaining a curated list of 12 properties, we ensure our team is never stretched too thin. We still have the bandwidth to answer your calls instantly, inspect your property thoroughly, and handle guest requests dynamically.
Looking Ahead
We want to close by thanking all of our wonderful owners. It is your commitment to maintaining beautiful holiday homes that allows us to attract premium properties like Millbury Lodge. We are heading into a busy booking season, and our marketing team is already hard at work pushing your properties across all platforms to maximise your revenue.
Please join us in giving a warm, virtual welcome to the owners of Millbury Lodge. Here’s to a successful, fully-booked season ahead for all 12 of our fantastic properties!
