How much would you pay per night? I think I might be undercharging and then-some. Sold almost 300 nights this year, excellent reviews. I now realise the travel lodge up the road almost charges the same for a double room.

Well it depends.

Are you letting to one person or group on a six month basis, monthly, weekly, daily???

How about charge out rooms by the hour? Giggidy?

minimum is a 3 night let.

1 person can rent it if they like and have done but they pay the same as 4 persons.

So I would say £200 for 3 nights. Am I right?

In January yes, for two / three people during the week but never less than that unless perhaps a repeat customer, which we've had a few. Weekends are charged differently because anything less than a 3-night stay and I barely break even. During Jul/Aug/Sep I get that amount in single night, not a problem. Folks always rave about having the wood burner at this time of year. But the apartment does not obey seasonal trends. Far from it. Get all sorts, finance types from London staying for a working week to a wedding at the weekend, folks for conferences. I reckon holiday bookings only make 40% of my custom.

What's my the problem? This place is my pension of sorts. I want to make it perform to the maximum of its capability.

If I were a single in town for 3-nights I'd cough up £200 instead of staying in the travel lodge, the two cannot be compared.

Do I keep pushing the boat out until turnover takes a hit? I would not mind selling less nights if turnover stayed the same, that's a bonus I'd stay more myself in that case.
