Whether you’re considering holiday letting for the first time, switching from another agency, or simply curious about your property’s earning potential, understanding the numbers is the best place to start.
We know that letting your holiday home is a big decision — and that your property is far more than just a financial asset. Whether it’s a much-loved family retreat or a carefully chosen investment, it deserves to be looked after properly and marketed by people who genuinely care.
As Dorset’s largest independent holiday letting agency, family-run from our Corfe Castle offices since 1999, we’ve spent over 25 years helping property owners like you get the most from their holiday lets — without the stress.
Our income calculator gives you an honest estimate of what your property could generate each year, based on its size and features. Simply fill in the details below and we’ll do the rest. You might be pleasantly surprised by what’s possible.
Our Holiday Let Income Calculator has been designed to give you a realistic indication of what your property could achieve as a holiday let.
Simply enter a few details about your property, including its location, number of bedrooms, guest capacity and any standout features. Using our extensive knowledge of the Dorset holiday letting market, we’ll generate an estimated annual income range based on properties with similar characteristics.
While every property is unique, the estimate provides a useful benchmark and can help you understand how your home compares within the local market.

No two holiday homes are the same, and neither are their earning potentials.
A property’s income is influenced by a range of factors, including:
Many owners are surprised to discover that relatively small changes can significantly increase occupancy levels and annual revenue. Our team works with hundreds of Dorset holiday homes and understands exactly what today’s guests are looking for.
Domestic tourism remains a major contributor to Dorset’s visitor economy, with millions of visitors choosing the county each year for its stunning coastline, countryside and attractions.
Properties that are professionally marketed, well-presented and competitively priced continue to perform strongly, attracting guests throughout the year rather than solely during peak summer weeks.
The right strategy can make a significant difference to your property’s annual income.

For more than two decades, we’ve helped property owners across Dorset achieve exceptional results while providing a personal, family-run service.
✔️ Our team lives and works in Dorset. We know the villages, coastlines and countryside that guests are searching for.
