You’re ready to accept your first visitors, so let’s run through a quick checklist to make sure you’re ready:
1. Thoroughly clean and tidy everything and make the beds.
2. Give the home a proper airing if it’s been closed up for a while.
3. Provide a welcome hamper with some basics like milk, bread, tea bags and eggs.
4. Think about providing some board games, jigsaws, books and DVDs.
5. Create a welcome pack providing instructions for all appliances, WiFi password and details of local restaurants, pubs and attractions.
6. Provide clear instructions on checking in and out times, and how guests can collect and drop off keys.
