In the early 1990s, William Asbury’s family purchased a dilapidated Methodist chapel in South East Cornwall and lovingly restored it. A few years later, William decided to transform the 200-year-old building into a unique holiday home full of character - and that’s how Guesthoo was born.
What started as a personal challenge soon grew into a mission: to help other homeowners manage their rentals with the same care, transparency, and efficiency.
Today, Guesthoo supports hosts across the South West with end-to-end management, consistently delivering higher occupancy, stronger returns, and memorable guest experiences.
The Challenge
Adapting to Shifts in Traveller Behaviour
For Guesthoo, the holiday let market in Devon and across the South West is constantly evolving.
Navigating seasonality, changing traveller expectations, and platform dynamics requires flexibility and precision, especially for an operator managing diverse properties across multiple regions.
“We’ve seen more self-catering holiday homes listed on Booking.com and more agents adopting damage waivers as an additional revenue stream. The landscape is definitely becoming more competitive.”
As Founder Director, William Asbury explains, two clear trends have shaped the past year:
The Solution
Scaling Dynamic Pricing from Beyond
Guesthoo first adopted dynamic pricing around six years ago, initially using another platform before making the switch to Beyond.
Since transitioning to Beyond, Guesthoo has found it easier to make informed, strategic pricing decisions—whether across a single listing or their entire portfolio.
“I started with PriceLabs and moved over to Beyond. I did it for many reasons, including the better UI, the revenue management tools, and the ability to manage pricing at scale with easy-to-understand metrics like the Health Score. It made managing revenue far more effective.”
