Summer News
 

A tonic for the body, mind and soul is how a guest recently described their stay at Atlanta, and, while rejuvenated, alive and reinvigorated are commonplace emotions that a stay at a Unique Home Stays property evokes, our commitment is to ensure that every guest finds their happy.

 

Our Homestay Specialists are privy to the most intimate of occasions; from surprise proposals to weddings; first holidays, and sometimes last. It’s the part of the job we feel most privileged to play a part of, however small our involvement in such memory-making moments. With this in mind, over the course of the next quarter the sales and portfolio team will be traversing the length and breadth of the country immersing themselves in property visits,  meeting with you where possible,  to ensure that they are best-selling the many attributes of your homes.

 

Alongside this, our photography team are making the most of the season by capturing evocative landscape and lifestyle imagery, to sit alongside your property galleries, showcasing the beauty of coast and country locations through a lens unobstructed by the madding crowds.

 

On top of the key major projects we’ve been working on for the future (to be revealed in our upcoming owner event…!), our in-house focus lies on securing remaining availability for 2019. Our storytelling rhetoric is designed to encourage guests to get out and about whatever the weather and immerse themselves in the back-to-nature intimacy that an out of season stay affords. What’s not to love about the anticipation of heading home to roaring fires and candlelit suppers; it’s a feeling you just can’t recreate with a summer stay.

 

We wish you a wonderful autumn, whether its hibernation or rejuvenation you crave.

Did you know...
 

We thought you might find it interesting to note that we took just 17% of new property enquiries through to the visit stage, reaffirming the selective nature of our membership process. From quirky manor houses with stunning interiors to bijou beach huts, it's essential that potential homes exude as diverse a locality as they do design, this is shown in our newest property addition, Elemental, located in the heart of the Scottish Highlands which fuses lochside appeal with mid-century minimalism.
