Small-group in-person strategy days for short-term rental owners, ranging from Airbnbs, holiday cottage, large holiday houses and glamping sites, hosted by Sarah Orchard at a fellow STR property.

Join Sarah for an inspiring day away from your business, to focus on growth, the marketing that has actually worked, and hitting your goals in the next 6 months!

YES, I'M IN

Join us at another host's property for an inspiring strategy day with Sarah.

A day to work 'ON' your business, not 'IN' it for a change...

Expect a relaxed, interactive small group day (max 12 attendees) with business and marketing strategy plus plenty of space for discussion, ideas and connection.

In the morning, we'll be reflecting on your business performance this year and identifying any gaps, and setting your goals.

We'll enjoy a delicious lunch together and a property tour with our host.

After lunch we'll be mapping out your goals and what marketing needs to support that for the next 3-6 months.

Everyone will have the chance to have their questions answered.

You will leave the day with a clear action plan, inspired, ready to take action and with some great new fellow host connections.

By the end of the day, you will:

Have a clear picture of where your business really stands: the gaps, the wins, and what's actually holding your bookings back
Leave with clear goals for the next 6 months, mapped out with Sarah ‘s expert input and not generic online or AI generated advice
Have your specific questions answered by Sarah directly, in a small group where there's time to actually dig in
Walk away with fresh ideas pulled from a full day out of your own four walls and getting out of your own head
Make genuine connections with fellow hosts who understand exactly what you're dealing with
See how another host runs their property, with a full tour of the day's venue
Leave inspired and ready to act: not just with a plan but with the motivation to start making it happen

SIGN ME UP!

Each strategy day runs 10am to 4pm, with a maximum of 10 attendees. Lunch and a full property tour are included.

"I attended a strategy day with Sarah Orchard, hosted at the wonderful Dimpsey Glamping in Somerset, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was fantastic to meet in person with other holiday-let hosts and owners, share experiences, and brainstorm ideas for taking my business forward... Lunch was also provided, which was a lovely touch and made the day feel even more relaxed and enjoyable. I came away feeling inspired, with lots of ideas and a clearer direction for my own business."

Sue Beddoe

Dorset Blackbird

“I was buzzing with reignited enthusiasm, ideas that I could implement immediately and a strategy moving forward. I would thoroughly recommend taking that day out and making things real and not just on a screen. Zoom and AI are definitely not everything!”

Wendy Wilkinson

Acorn Glade Glamping, York

This day is for you if:

You run a holiday cottage, glampsite, or short-term rental whether that's one property or several
You know you need to step back and think strategically but never actually make the time to do it
You want a real plan for the next 3–6 months, not another list of ideas you'll never open again
You're just starting out and haven't launched yet, and want to map out your launch plan and learn from other experienced hosts and Sarah
You'd value input from other hosts who get exactly what you're juggling
You're ready to be honest about what isn't working and do something about it

This isn't for you if:

You're looking for a done-for-you marketing service where someone else implements the plan for you
You want 1:1 consultation time with Sarah on your own property: that's what the VIP Marketing Strategy Day is for
You're not able to commit to the full day, in person

"That day gave me the clarity to identify the pain points within my business and establish a clear path forward. To spend the entire day with like-minded hosts resulted in an open and easy forum for discussions on issues that are impacting our businesses. Very refreshing!"

May Palmer

Round Island Cottages, Poole Harbour

JOIN THE WAITLIST

"It was great to meet and network with other hosts, while also taking a step back from the day-to-day business to reflect on the bigger picture, consolidate ideas and gain fresh perspective."

Sarah Pursey

Scenic Stays, Herefordshire

“As a new inexperienced owner, the strategy day was a great opportunity for me to take time out of day to day duties, take a step back and get a fresh perspective on my vision, and sit with like-minded business owners to share ideas, challenges and thoughts on the key issues we face. I appreciated the networking opportunities throughout the day, and left feeling re-energised and motivated for the next business phase. Thank you Sarah!”

Nicky Cooper

Tredarrup Farm Holiday Cottages

“It was great to get away from it all and really think about my business, great to meet other hosts, but it can be quite lonely just working mostly on your own, I also love looking round other sites, so great to see the house!”

James Dodds

Gatehouse Luxury Lodges

This is that day.

Come with your questions. Leave with your clear goals and an action plan.

GOT A QUESTION? I'VE GOT IT COVERED!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need to be based near the venue to attend?

No — hosts travel from all over the UK to attend these days. The venue simply gives us a real property to tour and learn from. There will be some overnight accommodation available at the venue (first come, first served).

What's included in the day?

Your full day of strategy work with Sarah, lunch, and a tour of the host property.

I’m travelling from further away, can I stay over the night before the strategy day?

Yes, there will be some overnight accommodation available at the venue (first come, first served). You will be sent details of the venue host to book your room directly with them. Sarah will also be staying the night before, giving you an additional opportunity to chat about your business and network with other hosts, before the group strategy day itself.

What's your cancellation or refund policy?

Once booked the strategy day fee is non-refundable as there are event expenses to cover. Sarah would be happy to discuss moving you to another date, subject to availability.

Is this different from the VIP Marketing Strategy Day?

Yes. The VIP Strategy Day is a private 1:1 day at your property. Group Strategy Days are a shared day with up to 10 fellow hosts at another host's property with the added benefit of peer input and connection.

Can I bring a business partner or another host?

Yes, you can bring additional attendees. Please book multiple places if you wish to bring your business partner, or another host to attend with you.

What if my chosen date sells out?

Join the waitlist for that date or book onto the next available date, spaces are genuinely limited to 10, so early booking is recommended.

I've never met Sarah before — is this the right starting point?

Yes. Many hosts join a Group Strategy Day as their first step working with Sarah. It's a great way to get direct input before deciding whether further 1:1 support, the Bootcamp, or the membership is right for you.
