Scott, Bristol landlord, with AltoLuxo since 2024
Practically full the whole time, done as promised. Never renting long term again.

Airbnb Property Management in South Gloucestershire
Airbnb management in South Gloucestershire doesn't have to wait for the weekend. You'd expect a short let to fill on Fridays and Saturdays and in August. At one of our four-bedroom houses in Patchway, the short stays fell mostly on Monday to Thursday.
We also run houses in Filton, Little Stoke, Emersons Green and Staple Hill, and an apartment in Kingswood. Inside the city boundary, your property comes under Airbnb management in Bristol.
AltoHaus is a four-bedroom house in Patchway that sleeps 8. Its paid stays of a week or less between 29 September 2025 and 10 July 2026 covered 101 nights. Of those, 88 were Monday to Thursday nights and 13 fell on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. The booking record shows which nights sold, not who the guest worked for.
That's one house's record, not a promise for your street. Monday to Thursday are the nights you'd expect a short let to sit empty, and at that house they were the ones the short stays took. Those bookings are why a well-run property earns 30 to 50% more income than a tenancy, with no void periods.
Our Filton houses book in longer blocks. Stays there averaged 19.2 nights for arrivals between 1 September 2025 and 2 September 2026, against 13.4 nights across everything we manage.
Those Filton houses are Orchid 2, with three bedrooms, and BudeHaus, with four. LuxoHaus is the other four-bedroom house in Patchway, Orion’s Place is in Little Stoke and The Jungle is in Staple Hill. 31A is the one-bedroom apartment in Kingswood.
You hand us the keys and the calendar. We check the property will book well before anything is spent, then we set it up, list it, host every guest and keep it clean and maintained. You see every booking and every figure in your landlord portal, and the payout lands in your account each month.
Our fee only comes out of what the property earns; set-up costs are quoted and agreed upfront. If you've been comparing letting agents in Filton or Bradley Stoke, the difference is the model. On a tenancy, the rent can be raised once a year. We price every night, so a Tuesday and a Saturday in Patchway are each priced on their own.

Where we operate
We manage short lets in Bristol, Newport, Cardiff, Bath and Somerset, with the same team and the same standard in each.
The employers near a South Gloucestershire short let
Three sites sit about 1 mile by road from our Filton houses: Airbus, Rolls-Royce and MOD Abbey Wood. Rolls-Royce says more than 3,500 people are based at its Bristol site. On 28 September 2026 it announced over £90 million of upgrades there, to be finished in 2031.
Southmead Hospital is about 2 miles by road from the same houses. Bristol & Bath Science Park is about 1 mile by road from our homes in Emersons Green.
People are sent to those sites for days or weeks, and they need a bed nearby on working nights. A house you let on a tenancy can't sell them one.
Short let rules in South Gloucestershire
Since 1 April 2025 South Gloucestershire Council has charged a 100% council tax premium on a furnished home that isn't anybody's permanent home. Unless an exemption applies, that doubles the bill. Your short let only leaves council tax for business rates by passing a national test, in place since 1 April 2023.
To pass, your house must have been available to let commercially for at least 140 nights in the past twelve months and actually let for at least 70. It must also be intended to be available for at least 140 in the next twelve. Stays longer than 28 nights don't count towards the 70. Your house can be busy with bookings longer than that and still fall short.
On planning, the council has two Article 4 directions, both dated 10 January 2024. They cover turning a house into a small HMO in Stoke Park and Cheswick ward and in part of Filton ward. Neither relates to short lets. England has no night limit outside London, so the council decides, property by property, whether a letting is a material change of use.
You can't register a short let yet. GOV.UK gives March 2027 as the expected start of England's mandatory register, and the fee hasn't been published.
Landlord questions from Filton to Thornbury
Do you manage short lets in Bradley Stoke, Yate or Thornbury?
They're inside the area we cover, but we don't run a house in any of the three yet. Aztec West business park is at Bradley Stoke and Almondsbury, and Badminton Horse Trials, on the Yate side, had 186,000 visitors over five days in May 2026. We check a property will book well before anything is spent, and if yours won't, we'll say so.
Do you offer Airbnb management in Gloucestershire too?
We cover South Gloucestershire, along with Bristol and Bath. The rest of Gloucestershire isn't on our list today. We'd look at a property there, but we'd rather say no than manage it badly from a distance.
Can a holiday let's rubbish go out with the household bins?
No. Waste from a home let as self-catering accommodation is classed as commercial waste under the Controlled Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2012. South Gloucestershire Council doesn't allow commercial waste in household bins or at its recycling centres. That leaves the council's paid collection, a licensed commercial contractor or the transfer station in Yate.
Will the Aviva Arena fill houses in Filton and Patchway?
Not before late 2028, when the 20,000-capacity arena in the Brabazon Hangars is set to open, about 1 mile by road from our Filton houses. Its operator expects around 1.4 million visitors a year across more than 120 major events. Until then the demand is the build, which the operator puts at more than 2,000 jobs. Nobody can tell you what an event night will sell for, so we wouldn't set your property up on that alone.
The free income estimate shows the figure for your property. Next door are Airbnb management in Bristol and Airbnb management in Bath. The same houses, from the booker's side, are on contractor accommodation in North Bristol. The guides go further on short let rules in England in 2026, short let rules in Bristol and self-managing a short let or handing it over.
