What owners say

Trusted by property owners across the South West.

“Under Hannah's management, guest satisfaction significantly increased, resulting in numerous positive reviews and repeat bookings. I have complete confidence in Hannah and her team and would highly recommend them to any property owner seeking dedicated, efficient, and professional management.”

Laura K

Multi holiday let owner, Devon

“Hannah was an exceptional housekeeper. Moreover her keen eye for detail that we needed for our discerning clients was very much appreciated. Caring for an establishment such as Colleton Hall, demands more than just cleaning and housekeeping. Hannah always showed initiative and went above and beyond to deliver an exceptional standard.”

Russel Stenhouse

Owner of Colleton Hall

“Hannah and her team have consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. They have truly been an asset to my business, and I would highly recommend them to any property owner looking for a dedicated and professional management team.”

Hannah, founder of Belstone Property
Meet the founder

A new name. A very familiar pair of hands.

Belstone Property is built on nearly two decades of hands-on experience in hospitality and property management.

Hi, I’m Hannah, founder of Belstone Property.

For 20 years I have worked in hospitality, with the last decade specialising in the management and operation of short-term accommodation. From overseeing housekeeping standards and coordinating maintenance to managing guest experiences and supporting property owners, I’ve spent years learning what turns an ordinary holiday let into a thriving, five-star business.

Belstone was created to offer something different: a genuinely personal management service that combines local knowledge, meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to helping property owners maximise their investment.

While you’ll always deal directly with me and my local team, you’re also supported by the expertise and systems of an established national management partner responsible for more than 50 professionally managed properties across the UK. That means you benefit from the personal service of a boutique local business, backed by the operational knowledge, proven processes and industry experience of a much larger organisation.

When you work with Belstone Property, you’re not choosing between personal service and professional capability — you get both.

Local & personal

You'll always know who's looking after your property, with responsive communication and a dedicated point of contact.

Proven systems

Behind the scenes, we use professional pricing tools, operational systems and best practices refined across a portfolio of more than 50 managed properties nationwide.

Five-star standards

Exceptional guest experiences lead to better reviews, stronger occupancy and higher returns for our owners.

How we operate

Three simple steps, from first hello to monthly statement.

    A chat & a visit

    We meet you at the property, get to know you and the home, and share an honest view on realistic occupancy and yield.

  2. 02

    Getting ready

  3. 03

    Looking after it

    Guests, housekeeping, maintenance and clear monthly reporting — handled personally, across Devon and Cornwall.

Our performance promise

We succeed when you do.

We’re so confident in our service that we remove the risk for you. If we don’t outperform your property’s previous letting model within your first 90 days, we’ll continue managing your property without charging our management fee until we do.

Whether your property has previously been run as a traditional long-term rental, self-managed short-term let or through another management company, our goal is simple: to help your property perform better while making ownership effortless.

Performance comparisons are based on comparable availability, seasonality and market conditions.
