“The Harbour Festival and Balloon Fiesta weekends are incredible. The rates triple and the flat is full. Truestays handles everything and I just check the dashboard. Clifton brings tourists year-round and the university keeps term time busy.”

Straight answers

The four most common concerns

Straight answers to the questions you are actually asking. No hedging.

Can I leave whenever I want?

Yes. Our agreement runs month to month with 30 days' notice. Block any dates you want the property back, no questions asked. No lock-in, no penalties, no eviction process.

What if a guest damages my property?

Every guest is ID-verified before they book. We cover you up to £50,000 directly, and Airbnb's Aircover adds up to $3 million on top. In 35,000+ stays we've never had an uninsured claim.

What does it actually cost me?

From 12% + VAT, charged only on nights that book, so if your property sits empty, you pay nothing. A one-off £150 onboarding fee covers setup. Cleaning is paid by the guest, not you.

Is short-letting even allowed on my property?

Bristol has no licensing requirement and no night cap. We check your lease, mortgage and insurance for restrictions, arrange any safety certificates, and handle compliance end to end, so you don't have to worry.

No long lock-in. Cancel with 30 days' notice. Transparent fees, nothing hidden.

The case for short-lets

Why Bristol short-lets outperform long-lets

No single point of failure. Demand comes from tourism, events, business travel and university visitors independently of each other. When one is quiet, the others are not. Since 1 May 2026, Section 21 is gone and every AST is a periodic tenancy you cannot simply end. Short-letting sits outside that framework entirely.

Typical annual revenue for a 1-bed city centre apartment

Harbour Festival

The July Harbour Festival is Bristol's biggest weekend event, filling flats across the city for a full weekend and the days either side at 3x standard rates. The festival draws 250,000 visitors with music stages, ships and food festivals, and properties near the harbourside fill first. A single Harbour Festival weekend can match a month of long-let rent.

Balloon Fiesta

The August Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is Europe's largest hot air balloon event, driving 3x standard rates for a full weekend and the days either side. The fiesta draws 500,000 visitors to Ashton Court, and properties with views of the balloon launches command the highest premiums. The event also extends the summer season into mid-August.

Clifton tourism

Clifton Suspension Bridge, the Georgian architecture and Clifton Village draw year-round visitors, providing a steady baseline of leisure demand independent of events. The SS Great Britain, Bristol Museum and Bristol Cathedral add cultural demand, and this footfall keeps occupancy stable in shoulder seasons, particularly from March through June and September through November.

University events

Bristol and UWE enrol over 50,000 students between them, and graduation weeks in January and July are among our most profitable periods. Visiting parents book 3 to 5 night stays at premium rates, and properties near the universities fill first. Open days, clearing and international student arrivals generate steady midweek demand throughout the academic year, filling gaps that tourists wouldn't book.

Local cleaning team

On the ground

A local team who can actually be at your door

One dedicated point of contact who knows your flat, your boiler, your lockbox code and your neighbourhood in Bristol. When a guest locks themselves out at 9pm or the boiler stops on a Saturday, our local contractors can be there the same day.

Your property is inspected after every stay by cleaners and maintenance teams we've worked with for years across Bristol.
