[QUOTE="Andrew1983, post: 4255042, member: 147"] We have a cottage we started doing holiday rentals on this year. It's a 6bed place with decent garden, large living room, decent kitchen. Downsides are it's driving distance (3miles) from any shop/pub/food places. We were getting about £100/night but by the time we cleaned and wash beds and towels, pay electric, heating oil, keep the garden tidy, it's only working out about £100/month better than a permanent let. We did have it let to a company for polish workers to stay in for 3 months, £65/night was best money going as they looked after themselves. Since them having to go in and gut the place after 3 or 4 nights is hard work! We had very few bookings for winter so decided to put it back on long term let. Guess it all depends on your area, if we were closer to village or Inverness we could have kept it on weekly only let's and prob kept it full for longer at a higher price. It's been an interesting experiment and has put us off from investing into log cabins to be honest. I would still consider a few static caravans let long term. If I had somewhere secluded to stick them though. [/QUOTE]
