About The Oxford Host Co.

A local, hands-on approach to Airbnb management.

The Oxford Host Co. was created for owners who want their Airbnb professionally managed without feeling removed from what is happening with their property. We combine local knowledge with practical day-to-day support, giving you one reliable point of contact and a service that feels straightforward from the start.

Every property has one dedicated point of contact, supported by trusted local cleaning and service partners.

Why we started

Built from local experience.

We grew up in Oxford. The business began with managing our own short lets here, then supporting family and friends, and before long people across our wider network were asking for help with the day-to-day realities of hosting.

Hosting looks simple from the outside. In practice, it is guest messages at 11pm, a price you meant to change before a Bank Holiday, a late check-in, a cleaner who cannot make it, and the constant job of keeping a property running smoothly and performing well.

That is what The Oxford Host Co. grew out of. Years of living, managing property and building relationships here means we know the neighbourhoods, the demand patterns and the cleaners and tradespeople worth using. For an owner, that shows up as better-informed pricing decisions, faster handling of anything the property needs, and someone locally accountable for how it is looked after.

What makes us different

A different kind of management company.

Four principles shape how your property is looked after day to day.

We know Oxfordshire properly

Having grown up here, we understand how neighbourhoods, university terms, graduations and events shape visitor demand, and we use that when we set pricing and availability.

One dedicated property manager

Each owner has one main point of contact who knows the property and is accountable for how it is run, rather than a rotating support queue.

Performance is actively managed

Pricing is reviewed daily against demand, seasonality and booking pace. We treat your Airbnb as a commercial asset, not an inbox to clear.

Local oversight of the property

Being close by means we can review condition and presentation in person, supported by established local cleaning and service relationships.

Where we work

Local management, with people on the ground.

We work across Oxfordshire, including Oxford, and the Cotswolds, close enough to give each property genuine local oversight.

What owners say

A few words from property owners we’ve supported.

Google reviews
★★★★★
“We have had our flat managed on Airbnb for a while now and the service has been brilliant. I barely have to get involved, and everything is handled properly. Being based locally in Oxfordshire also means any issues get sorted quickly, rather than waiting around. Highly recommend if you want someone reliable and hands-on managing your property.”
