Marketing Service

Our experienced bookings team act on your behalf and deal with all enquiries whether they be via phone, email, website or LiveChat and convert these to live bookings. We manage all the administration in respect of taking deposit and balance payments and liaise closely with your guest in the run-up to their stay. We also liaise with both you and/or your housekeeper as soon as either a provisional or confirmed booking is made, along with any specific housekeeping instructions to ensure the guest experience is as good as it can be.

Once guests have arrived at your property, the guest is provided with your details allowing you to respond to any feedback or any issues that may arise during their stay and your contact numbers will be included within our professionally printed Suffolk Hideaways Property Information Guide.

By opting for the Marketing Service, you will be responsible for ensuring the changeovers take place efficiently between guest stays and any property maintenance matters that may arise between lets.

What our Suffolk home owners say about us

Julia & Richard, Flint Cottage, Wenhaston

"We have been holiday cottage owners for many years and have worked with Suffolk Hideaways since their early inception into the county of Suffolk. We have appreciated their common sense approach, loyalty and attention to detail in particular Kate and Rebecca from our local office in Aldeburgh. Their marketing, brochures and ease of use website is a welcome feature, and their knowledge of the area and the cottages makes for an easy exchange with the guests and owners."

“We are new to holiday letting and to date have been highly impressed with the professional, friendly and efficient service we have received from Suffolk Hideaways. From our first meeting with Rebecca to the photography, information and projected booking forecasts, everything has surpassed our expectations. We are particularly pleased to be able to book out times when we prefer not to have guests which is most helpful. As soon as The Granary was advertised we received bookings straightaway and have been delighted with the booking numbers to date. Any queries have been answered quickly and have made the letting experience stress-free. So all in all we are delighted with Suffolk Hideaways”.
