Two Exclusive Platinum Partnership Opportunities for 2026
For large holiday letting owners who want more bookings, less admin, and expert group accommodation guidance.
Apply to become one of two exclusive property partners we’ll work with in 2026, where we’ll handle your marketing, channel managing enquiries and bookings provide expert guidance, and help transform your booking calendar while you stay in full control of your home.
1️⃣ For owners who want consistent bookings and strong revenue – without being tied to enquiries, admin, and guest messaging.
2️⃣ For owners new to hosting large groups (or underbooked) – who want expert guidance, better positioning, and a smoother way to grow bookings.
An exclusive partnership doesn't mean handing over control
“We’re only opening two Platinum partnerships for 2026, and that’s intentional. It means we can go all-in on each property, maximise results, and give owners the hands-on support they genuinely deserve.
A lot of homeowners worry that an exclusive partnership means handing over control, but it doesn’t. Platinum is about working alongside you, protecting what makes your home special, and helping you achieve stronger bookings and more freedom without handing over the keys to your pride and joy. If you’re even considering it, please apply, or email me to arrange an informal discussion.”
Josh, Business Development Manager
Your solution to low bookings & endless admin starts here
You didn’t invest in your property to spend your days chasing bookings and losing money on listings and service fees. Yet here you are, juggling multiple platforms like Airbnb, answering trivial questions from groups like ‘are dishwasher tablets provided’, and still seeing empty property calendars.
Our exclusive partnership changes that. We take over the hard part – marketing, channel managing, answering enquiries, managing bookings – so you gain back your freedom and finally see your property reach its full potential.
We only take on a handful of properties each year, ensuring every partner receives our full focus and expertise. If you’re ready to see what your property is truly capable of, here’s what an exclusive partnership could do for you.
The surge of post‑pandemic bookings in 2021–2022 made it feel like the boom would never end. Many property owners assumed those record‑breaking calendars were the new normal. But the reality is starkly different today – with 32% more properties flooding the market and 8% fewer bookings available, competition has never been tougher.
The truth? Low bookings aren’t your fault. You weren’t prepared for a market this saturated. But with over 25 years in the group accommodation industry, we know exactly how to navigate these challenges. We’ve weathered every market shift and developed strategies that cut through the noise to keep our exclusive partners’ calendars full, even in crowded conditions.
The 5 stages of host burnout: from denial to freedom
1) Denial – “It’s just a quiet month, more bookings will come soon…” – You tell yourself bookings will pick up, ever as your calendar stays empty. But with there being 32% more self-catering properties to hire on the market than in 2019, it’s more competitive than ever.
2) Anger – “My last guests gave me a 2 star review because of a limescaled kettle” – Unfair reviews and low-budget guests leave you fuming – your property and your efforts deserve better.
3) Bargaining – “Maybe if I drop my price again…” – You keep tweaking prices to compete with competition and encourage more bookings, but now you’re practically paying guests to stay with you.
4) Depression – “What’s the point? The algorithms keep changing and there’s too much competition” – Juggling multiple sites, and answering endless questions like “how many prosecco glasses are there” aren’t amounting to profits, and wearing you down.
5) Acceptance & Action – “I can’t do this by myself, I need expert help” – Finally, you’re ready to stop struggling and partner with experts who can help you back your freedom and maximise your property’s potential.
From sleepless nights to seamless bookings - exclusively with AC
Running a holiday rental should be rewarding, but between pricing, platforms, cancellations, and marketing, it can feel like a full‑time job you never signed up for.
We take those headaches off your hands with our exclusive partnership, managing every detail with care and expertise so you can finally focus on what matters: having more freedom to enjoy your life and watching your property revenue grow.
Adventure Connections partnership packages & comparison
We offer three partnership tiers – Silver, Gold, and Platinum – designed to suit different property goals and levels of support. Gold is our most popular option, giving you the best exposure and performance while you remain fully in control of your holiday home. Platinum is our VIP-level partnership for owners who want to work with us on an exclusive basis, with a higher-touch, long-term approach.
We’ve also included a comparison against Airbnb, Group Accommodation, and Booking.com so you can clearly see what’s different. Each platform has its benefits, but they’re built around very different USPs, and they typically lack the personal, hands-on support that comes with working directly with our experienced team.
Our exclusive solution for more bookings & more freedom
Pricing your property correctly
We shall conduct market research to ensure your property is priced to attract the right guests while maximising revenue. Our dynamic pricing model adjusts rates based on seasonal trends, local events, and demand fluctuations, so your property stays competitively priced all year round.
3rd Party channel managing
We optimise the visibility of your property by listing it on top-performing third-party platforms. Your property will be strategically positioned across all relevant channels to attract different audience types. All calendars are synced seamlessly to prevent double bookings, and we apply targeted discounts to fill available weekends within a two-month window, ensuring maximum occupancy.
Dedicated website for your property
If your property doesn’t already have a dedicated website, we’ll design and develop a visually stunning, user-friendly site that showcases your unique property. This website will highlight key features, availability, and booking options, giving potential guests a streamlined booking experience.
Property branding
To stand out, your property needs a strong, memorable identity. We’ll create or enhance its branding, including the development of a bespoke logo, tagline, and positioning statement that resonates with your target audience. This cohesive branding will carry through all digital and print materials, giving your property a polished, professional image.
Professional photoshoot
We know that top-quality images drive bookings. That’s why we arrange professional photoshoots to present your property in the best light possible. Whether it’s cosy interiors or stunning outdoor spaces, we capture every angle to entice potential guests.
To add extra charm, we’ll set up scenes tailored to your audience. For instance, if your property caters to hen parties, we’ll style it with fun touches like bunting and balloons to set the mood, showing potential guests the kind of experience they can expect.
Guest welcome booklet
We offer your guests a personalised welcome pack, available both digitally and in print. This includes essential information about the property, local amenities, and insider tips to ensure they have a smooth and enjoyable stay. It’s a small touch that makes a big impression on guest satisfaction.
Dashboard for all bookings
We’ll create a dedicated dashboard so that you can easily keep on top of how your property is performing, with a log of all upcoming and completed bookings, while also keeping a log of all pending and paid payments. This centralised hub ensures you have everything you need at your fingertips to manage your property with ease and confidence.
Bi-annual lunch meetings
To maintain a strong partnership, we invite you to a lunch meeting twice a year. This is a great opportunity to review your property’s performance, discuss any improvements, and thank you for trusting us with your property. It’s our way of building long-term, successful relationships.
Marketing campaigns, all-year round
Our marketing team works around the clock to keep your property front and centre. We include your property in a variety of digital campaigns, such as email marketing, social media promotions, blog features, special event & PR campaigns. Our goal is to keep your property top of mind for potential guests all year long.
PR & influencer campaigns
At least once a year, we’ll arrange a PR campaign for influencers to stay and publish a review of your property. These reviews will increase online exposure for your property. This is typically a free stay for the influencers, but one that has long term digital benefits.
Tips & knowledge from holiday rental experts
With over 25 years of experience in the vacation rental and stag and hen party industries, we are well-equipped to provide expert advice. Whether you need guidance on pricing strategy, home improvements to boost appeal, or tips on attracting specific guest types, we’re here to help you optimise bookings and revenue..
Cancellation reassurance
From time-to-time, guests may cancel their stays, but with our proactive approach, you won’t have to worry. We manage cancellations quickly, ensuring your property gets rebooked as soon as possible to avoid potential loss of income. Our process is designed to minimise the financial impact of cancellations.
Positive reviews
After each stay, our customer care team follows up with guests to ensure they had an exceptional experience. We take the time to address any feedback and encourage guests to leave glowing 5-star reviews, helping boost your property’s reputation and attract future bookings.
How the Brighton Pavilion Gatehouse maximised revenue with an platinum partnership
“The property is consistently booked, and I don’t have to worry about the marketing, pricing, or dealing with enquiries – it’s all taken care of. But more importantly, with their hands-on approach, I’ve been able to enjoy this additional income with minimal effort.” – Andy, BPG Owner
Find out in our case study how we’ve generated the Brighton Pavilion Gatehouse £100,000+ of revenue every year with an exclusive partnership.
What makes the perfect exclusive partnership?
At Adventure Connections, we’re all about making partnerships easy, enjoyable, and built to last. We’re not looking for rigid checklists – we want to keep things straightforward so that working with us is as seamless as possible. Here’s what we’re looking for an ideal exclusive partner:
Long-Term Mindset – We’re in it for the long haul. Our goal is to build lasting relationships with homeowners and suppliers we can work with for years to come. We value partners who share our commitment to providing incredible experiences and creating memorable stays for our guests.
Properties with Personality – Our clients are looking for that “wow” factor, whether it’s for a celebration with friends and family, or an unforgettable stag do, or hen party. We’re looking for really lovely properties that are presented to a high standard and have everything to make guests feel right at home. If your space has charm, quality, and a great vibe, it could be a fantastic match for our clients.
Openness to Change – We know change can be daunting, but if bookings aren’t where they should be, something needs to shift. We partner with owners who are open to fresh ideas, from decor updates to bedroom configuration adjustments and re-branding – so we can transform performance and unlock the property’s full potential.
A Spirit of Flexibility – Flexibility goes a long way in creating smooth experiences for everyone involved. From booking availability to pricing options and resolving the occasional hiccup, we appreciate partners who are open to a little give and take. This spirit of flexibility helps us keep guests happy and creates a win-win for everyone.
Responsive and Easy to Reach – Great communication is key! We love partners who are responsive and keep an open line of communication. It makes working together a breeze, and it means we can deliver the best possible experience for guests.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to become an exclusive partner, are there any fees?
There are no onboarding or surprise fees when you become one of our exclusive partners, we simply work on a simple commission basis.
How many properties do you take on exclusively?
We deliberately limit the number of exclusive partners we work with each year to 2-3. This ensures we can give every property the hands‑on attention it deserves and deliver consistent results. We’re a small agency with big heart and big ideas and want all of our exclusive partners to have a personal (professional) working relationship with us.
You can apply to become an exclusive partner using the form above, and we will arrange a call to discuss a potential partnership. If we’ve already reached the maximum number of exclusive properties we can take on board for the year, we’ll let you know and can add you to our waiting list for the following year.
I’m already on Airbnb and other platforms – what happens to those in an exclusive partnership?
We’ll review and take over all of your third‑party listings. That means no more juggling multiple logins or answering endless questions from people enquiring or upcoming guests. We’ll manage enquiries, update calendars, and handle all the legwork, so every lead flows through us while you enjoy the results.
What’s not included as part of an exclusive partnership?
Our focus is on everything leading up to the booking including marketing, enquiries, pricing, and securing guests. You’ll remain in charge of running your property day‑to‑day, ensuring it’s clean, prepared, and ready for arrivals. Of course, we’ll guide you on things like check‑in procedures, welcome touches, and guest experience best practices.
Do I have to accept Stag & Hen bookings at my property?
No, accepting stag and hen bookings isn’t required. However, a large portion of our clients do fit these group types. We speak to all guests at length to emphasise our properties are not party houses, and we make this clear to every guest, along with requiring a sizable security deposit to deter excessive noise, extra cleaning, or damages. By accepting well-behaved stag and hen groups, you’ll be opening yourself up to a much larger pool of guests and bookings.
What if I have changes and updates to my property?
We handle all property updates for you. Send us any updates or changes at any time of the year, and we’ll update everything ASAP. Our goal is to keep your listing fresh, accurate, and appealing without you lifting a finger.
What type of group accommodation do you work with?
We work with a wide variety of properties, from grand mansions and charming country retreats to stylish central townhouses and spacious apartments. Whether your property is a luxurious manor or a cosy flat, it must accommodate a minimum of 8 guests and meet our high-quality standards.
We’re looking for homes that offer comfort, style, and amenities to suit big groups celebrating special occasions, enjoying family getaways, or gathering for stag and hen parties. If your property stands out and is presented to a high standard, we’d love to hear from you!
What if I already have direct bookings or repeat guests?
We totally respect existing relationships – repeat bookers are critically important. If you have loyal repeat guests, we’ll work with you to incorporate them seamlessly while still implementing our broader marketing strategy to bring in fresh bookings.
How quickly can I expect to see results from this exclusive relationship?
Every property and partnership is unique, but most of our exclusive partners see a noticeable uplift in bookings and enquiry quality within the first few months of launch as our marketing and strategies begin to take hold. That said, we approach every relationship with a long‑term mindset, building sustainable growth rather than short‑lived spikes, so your property performs year after year.
