How to Prepare Your Holiday Let for Guests: 5 Essential Tips for 5-Star Stays in Shropshire
Hosting a holiday let or Airbnb in Shrewsbury or the Shropshire countryside? First impressions matter more than ever. Whether you’re welcoming weekend walkers or week-long family stays, the guest experience starts the moment they open the door.
Here are five essential ways to prepare your property for a smooth, stress-free turnover — and keep those glowing reviews rolling in.
Provide Hotel-Quality Linen (Without the Laundry Hassle)
Nothing says “welcome” like crisp, fresh bedding and fluffy towels. But managing laundry between bookings can be overwhelming — especially during peak seasons or back-to-back stays.
That’s why many local hosts rely on Shrewsbury Cleaning Hub’s professional linen hire service. We deliver high-quality sheets, towels, and bath mats directly to your door — cleaned, pressed, and ready to go.
Tip: Save time by booking weekly or on-demand linen packages tailored to your property size.
Deep Clean Before Each New Guest
Cleanliness is a top priority for every traveller. A spotless bathroom, clean kitchen surfaces, and fresh-smelling bedrooms will all help you stand out.
If you’re short on time, consider using a holiday let cleaning service. We offer full changeover cleans with optional linen drop-off and collection.
Keep a Well-Stocked Welcome Pack
A small gesture can make a big impression. Include essentials like:
- Tea, coffee, and milk
- Local maps and brochures
- A handwritten welcome note
- Emergency contact details
This shows guests that you’ve gone the extra mile — and it often leads to better reviews.
Create a Simple Guest Manual
Leave clear instructions for heating, Wi-Fi, rubbish collection, and check-out times. A laminated welcome book or printed A4 guide will do the trick.
Bonus: Include your local recommendations for pubs, walks, and day trips around Shrewsbury and Shropshire.
Schedule Time for Quick Turnarounds
If you’re managing multiple listings or don’t live nearby, timing is everything. Late check-outs and early arrivals can make turnovers stressful.
Shrewsbury Cleaning Hub’s linen delivery and cleaning team are experts in helping hosts stay on schedule. With flexible options and emergency support, we’ll help you stay ahead of every booking.
