The commission is based on the property type and location
Bath's UNESCO World Heritage City status brings more than four million visitors a year to the Roman Baths, Royal Crescent, The Circus and Pulteney Bridge. Demand spans international tourists in summer, domestic city-breakers through spring and autumn, and event-driven bookings around the Bath International Music Festival, Jane Austen Festival and the Christmas Market. July and August are the peak months.
We publish your property across all major booking platforms, including Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO, with fully synced calendars and channel-specific optimisation. Our pricing engine adjusts rates daily against live demand, local event calendars and competitor movements to maximise ADR during peak periods and maintain strong occupancy throughout the year.
A well-managed two-bedroom in Bear Flat averages £218 per night at 71% occupancy, generating around £56,375 in annual gross revenue. Bear Flat achieves the highest occupancy of any Bath sub-locality, supported by its neighbourhood character and strong city-break appeal. July and August are the peak months, aligned with Bath's festival season, and weekend demand from domestic city-break guests is reliable throughout the year.
