These are the places guests ask for most, not the only ones we cover. If your home is anywhere around Loch Lomond, the Trossachs or Cowal, we would like to hear about it.
Three councils and a national park.
Homes in the national park are licensed by the council they sit in, and the park has its own local rules too. We work out what applies to each home.4
Licensing opens. New hosts need a licence before taking any bookings.5
Stirling Council approves a visitor levy, due to begin in 2027, covering the Trossachs.6
Argyll and Bute’s consultation on a revised visitor levy closes, with no decision yet.7
West Dunbartonshire’s 5% visitor levy begins.8
Four ways to let, set by how the home is used.
Every short let here needs a licence before the first guest. Which one depends on how you use the home, so we start there.
A home to let
A second home or a property nobody lives in, let to guests through the year.
Rooms to spare
Spare rooms in the home you live in, let to guests while you are there.
While you are away
Your own home, let while you travel, work away or spend the summer elsewhere.
A little of both
Your own home, let whether you are in or away, as life allows.
We confirm the right path with you before anything is submitted. How licensing works →
Three councils, one team handling it for you.
Each council here runs its own licensing, and the national park adds its own rules. We work out what applies, handle it as part of our full management service, and run every stay with respect for the villages, the lochs and the people who live beside them.
- 01Assess your home and what it needs
- 02Handle the paperwork for you
- 03Get the home ready to the right standard
- 04Track levies, rule changes and renewals
Respecting the places guests come to see.
Lochside villages and forest towns are home to people all year. We vet every guest, keep quiet hours and look after every home so that visitors are welcome and residents are respected.
- 01Licensed firstEvery home licensed, certified and insured before the first guest.
- 02Neighbour consciousQuiet hours, noise monitoring and clear house rules on every stay.
- 03Guests vettedID checks, review history and deposits, with no parties or events.
- 04Local and accountableA local team looking after every home, day and night.
A summer peak with a long run-up.
Market averages count every listing, run well or not, so we do not quote them. What matters is how demand moves through the year here, and how a well-run home performs across it. We model that for your home before you decide.
Across the homes we manage, average occupancy runs at 85 to 95 per cent, depending on location and the type of home.
Illustrative only. The shape shows how demand typically moves through the year, not data for any single home.
