Herdwick Cottages is an independent holiday letting agency based in Kendal. The company markets high-quality holiday cottages, apartments, and glamping units across the Lake District, on behalf of the individual property owners.

Herdwick Cottages’ team is small but mighty and passionate about providing excellent service to their customers and property owners.

Adam Stephenson, Herdwick Cottages' co-owner, joined our Customer Advisory Board meeting in Barcelona in March 2024, where we interviewed him about his experience with Beyond. Learn more about Adam’s experience:

The Challenge

Herdwick Cottages has expanded to a portfolio size that exceeds manual management capabilities, particularly in terms of pricing each listing. The company required automated processes and pricing strategies that could adapt to fluctuations in market conditions. They encountered several challenges, including:

  • Managing an extensive collection of properties necessitating automation
  • The considerable time investment required for developing and implementing pricing strategies for different types of units
  • Challenges in swiftly adjusting prices in response to changes in market dynamics

"We use the key insights to see what is happening on the property level and we communicate that to our owners. A lot of the time they may perceive that their property isn’t doing so well, but when we show what is happening on the local market it makes them a lot happier."

Adam Stephenson, Co-Owner at Herdwick Cottages

The Solution

In 2020,  Herdwick Cottages decided to implement Beyond as a revenue management solution to stay ahead of market conditions and price properties with accuracy according to seasonalities and market trends.

TL;DR

Herdwick Cottages is a small but dedicated independent holiday letting agency in the Lake District, marketing high-quality cottages, apartments, and glamping units on behalf of individual property owners — but without the right data and pricing tools, communicating performance and strategy to owners was a persistent challenge.

Beyond Pricing gave their team dynamic pricing, market insights, and property-level reporting that not only improved revenue outcomes but gave them the transparency needed to have more confident, informed conversations with their owners.

Result: Revenue growth that outperformed the local market — with the co-owner highlighting Beyond's property-level insights as a game changer for owner relationships, noting that showing owners exactly how their property is performing locally makes them significantly happier.
