Unlock More from Your Bath Property

The historic city of Bath continues to attract a growing number of visitors year-round, from spa seekers and history lovers to students’ families and overseas tourists. This constant demand has made short-term letting an increasingly popular option for property owners—and if you own a home in or around Bath, the opportunity to maximise your property’s potential has never been stronger.

At Pass the Keys Bath, we’re seeing a significant rise in enquiries from local landlords, second-home owners, and even people who previously rented long-term but are now considering the short-let market.

So what’s driving this shift—and how can you benefit?

Why Bath is a Hotspot for Short-Term Lets

1. Year-Round Visitor Demand

Bath’s status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site means tourism doesn’t fade with the seasons. Annual highlights like:

The Bath Christmas Market
The Jane Austen Festival
Bath Rugby home fixtures
University graduations
Thermae Bath Spa’s international appeal

...all drive strong, consistent demand for accommodation. This is key for landlords looking to reduce seasonal gaps in bookings.

2. Attractive Nightly Rates

Bath commands some of the highest nightly rates in the South West, especially for well-maintained properties in central or scenic locations. By listing on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com, many of our clients earn 25–50% more annually compared to traditional letting.

3. More Flexibility, Less Commitment

Short-letting allows you to retain access to your property, whether that’s for personal use, family visits, or future sale. Unlike long-term tenants, guests leave after just a few nights—offering you far more control and flexibility.

What Property Owners Often Ask Us

At Pass the Keys Bath, we speak with new hosts every week—and these are the questions we hear most:

“How much can I really earn with a short let?”
“What about cleaning and guest communication—do I have to manage that?”
“Is it risky compared to a long-term tenant?”
“How do I stay compliant with Bath’s local rules?”

We provide clear, data-backed answers to all of the above.

Our local team handles everything, from dynamic pricing and guest vetting to cleaning, linen, and 24/7 support. We even offer full visibility through your personal host dashboard, so you can track bookings and income in real time.

Why Owners Are Making the Switch

One of the biggest trends we’re seeing is landlords switching from long-term letting to short-term. In a post-pandemic rental landscape—with rising regulations and tenant risk—short-letting offers a more flexible, often more profitable alternative.

Owners are also rethinking how they use second homes. Instead of sitting empty, these properties are now earning income and staying well maintained year-round.

Is Your Property Suitable?

If your property is:

Well-located (city centre, near the spa, close to the university, etc.)
Professionally presented or recently refurbished
Empty for parts of the year

...then it likely has strong short-let potential. Even properties on the edge of Bath or in nearby villages can perform well with the right pricing strategy.
