Why holiday let owners book changeover cleaning
- Back-to-back bookings leave a few hours between guests
- You live too far away to turn the property round yourself
- Summer brings more changeovers than you can cover
- Guests have commented on cleanliness
- A late check-out has squeezed the time before the next arrival
Holiday let changeovers around St Brides Bay
Cottages around Broad Haven, Little Haven and Newgale often share a changeover day, with a few hours between one party leaving and the next arriving. In that window, beds are stripped and remade, the kitchen and bathrooms cleaned, floors done and the cottage checked for items left behind or broken.
Beach holidays leave sand in showers, wetsuits over radiators and dog hair on sofas.

Both villages are reached down steep, narrow lanes with limited parking near the cottages. Where a cottage has no space of its own, linen bags and kit may be carried from the village car park.
Each brings tasks of its own at a changeover, such as testing or changing the hot tub water and clearing ash from the stove. List them along with the bedrooms.
A self-catering property in Wales is rated as a business only if it meets the letting test, including at least 182 days actually let. A dated log of changeover cleans gives owners a second record of occupancy.

Holiday let and Airbnb cleaning in Haverfordwest: questions
Do I have to register my holiday cottage in Pembrokeshire?
Anyone in Wales taking bookings of 31 nights or fewer must register the accommodation with the Welsh Revenue Authority by 31 March 2027. The duty applies even where the council has no visitor levy.
Can the clean include setting out welcome items?
If you supply them, welcome items can be set out at each changeover. List what goes out for each booking, such as tea, milk and toilet rolls, and where the stock is kept.
What should I tell you about the cottage?
Your check-out and check-in times, how many of your properties turn over on the same day, whether dogs are allowed and where clean linen sets are stored.
