Stop answering the same guest questions.
We visit your property and build the complete digital guest guide for you. Guests scan one QR code for Wi-Fi, heating, checkout and trusted local recommendations, day or night, with no app to download.
No card. No setup work. No obligation.
The same trusted detail, delivered the way guests actually expect it today.
Your first property, completely free.
Every new client gets their first property free. We'll visit, document everything properly, build the complete guide and provide the QR code, you approve every detail before it reaches a guest. Try it free for 60 days. No card, no obligation. If you decide to continue, it's £9.99 per property per month. If it isn't useful, we simply switch it off.
This applies equally to individual owners and management companies, a portfolio also starts with one free property before rolling out to the rest.
Fewer interruptions. Faster answers for guests.
The same handful of questions come up on every changeover. Cotswold Host gets your guests a host-approved answer the moment they ask, so it doesn't land in your messages at all.
Built for how guests actually travel now.
Today's guests expect an answer on their own phone, instantly, not a folder to dig out. Without it, they just text the host instead, at 11pm, from the sofa, about the boiler.
The laminated folder
- •Sits unopened on the counter
- •Out of date the moment anything changes
- •Guest messages the host directly instead
- •Same questions, every changeover
Scan, ask, done
- •Opens on the guest's own phone, no app
- •Host edits it any time, instantly live
- •Handles the question, escalates when it can't
- •Local knowledge shared across nearby properties
This is what checking in looks like now.
No app to download, nothing to find on the counter, just a scan, and everything about the stay is already there on the phone in their hand.
- Opens in seconds, straight from the camera app
- Feels like part of the property, not a bolt-on
- Still answers instantly if the host is away or asleep
One QR code, no app, no faff.
Connect your calendar from Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com and stay dates sync automatically, no double entry. The platforms don't share the guest's name or phone number though, so add those yourself if you'd like the automatic arrival text, everything else about how the guest actually opens the guide stays the same either way.
Connect your calendar (optional)
Paste in your Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com calendar link once and check-in/check-out dates keep themselves current automatically, or skip this and add stays by hand instead.
You share the link or QR code
Put it in your existing check-in message, on a keyholder, or on a small sign at the property, however you already message guests.
They scan and enter their stay PIN
Every booking gets its own 6-digit PIN, generated automatically. Add a guest's mobile number and it's texted to them automatically before arrival, otherwise just share it the way you normally would.
It stays unlocked for the whole stay
Enter it once and the guide stays open on that phone until checkout day, no re-entering it, no separate app login.
It only ever tells guests what you've approved.
An assistant is only as good as what it's told, so we make sure it's never told anything you haven't seen first.
- The assistant answers only from information you've approved for that property, never guesses at specifics.
- You review every section in your dashboard before it reaches a guest.
- When it doesn't know something, it says so and hands off to you, it doesn't invent an answer.
- Ask for the host, or ask something it isn't confident about, and it escalates immediately, with your number to hand.
- Each guest's session is private and kept separate from every other stay.
The same trusted detail, made instant.
Nothing invented, the same practical detail hosts have always shared with guests, just written properly and delivered the modern way.

Built for Airbnb and holiday let hosts across the Cotswolds.
We're locally based, so we're never far away, from Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Campden to Broadway, Burford, Moreton-in-Marsh, Cirencester, Tetbury, Northleach and Stroud. Wherever your Airbnb or holiday let sits in the Cotswolds, we can visit it.
You don't have to build another system.
Most digital guidebooks give you an empty template and another job to complete. Cotswold Host is different. We visit the property, photograph and document what matters, write the guide and prepare it for your approval.
We visit the property
In person, camera in hand, not a call, not a form for you to fill in yourself.
We document the practical details
The router, the thermostat, the fuse box, the bit of the lockbox that always sticks.
We build and test the guide
Wi-Fi, heating, checkout, emergencies, and everything in between, checked against how the property actually works.
You approve it before it goes live
Review everything in your dashboard. Nothing reaches a guest until you publish it.
“An assistant is only as good as what it's told. So we make sure it's told the truth.”
Built locally, by a real person.
Cotswold Host was created by Darryl Howe through LonCom AI to help Cotswold holiday-let owners reduce repetitive guest messages without creating more administrative work. Every new property is personally visited and set up.
