Meet James
I know that entrusting your property to someone else takes real courage. Many owners I work with felt exactly the same way before we started working together. My role is to give you the confidence that your property is genuinely cared for, and the encouragement to make the most of it.
With over 25 years in hospitality, from Michelin-starred hotels to premium country estates, and an MSc in Tourism Management from Bournemouth University, I bring a depth of experience that benefits every property we manage. But more importantly, I bring a genuine passion for helping owners succeed.
Whether you're new to holiday letting and feeling uncertain, or an experienced owner looking for a better partnership, I'm here to guide you through every step. No question is too small, no concern too trivial. Your confidence in us is something we earn, every single day.
Warm, Personal Hospitality Management.
We're not estate agents or a faceless corporation — we're a small, dedicated team who genuinely care about your property and your success. We believe in tailored, hands-on management built on real hospitality experience, not one-size-fits-all solutions.
Every property in our collection receives personal attention, detailed care, and the warmth that comes from years in hospitality. We keep our portfolio deliberately small so we can give each owner the service they deserve.
Personal, Caring Service
We're not estate agents. We're a small team who treat every property like our own.

Hear directly from our clients about their experience
What made you switch from your previous management company?
"Our previous company charged a high commission but the service was terrible. We'd get complaints from guests about dirty properties, broken appliances that weren't fixed, and poor communication. Living in Portugal, we felt completely helpless when problems arose. The cleaning standards were inconsistent and we were losing bookings due to bad reviews."
How has Full Bed Hosts changed your experience?
"It's been transformational. James and his team treat our property like it's their own. The cleaning is immaculate every time, maintenance issues are sorted immediately, and guest communication is professional and responsive. We went from constant stress calls to peaceful updates with photos showing everything is perfect."
What about the financial impact?
"We now pay a more competitive, transparent fee and still earn more revenue than before. The property is booked more consistently because guests leave glowing reviews. Full Bed Hosts' professional approach and attention to detail has completely turned our property around financially."
How important is the overseas owner support?
"Absolutely crucial. Living abroad, we need complete trust in our management company. Full Bed Hosts sends us regular updates with photos, handles all maintenance coordination, and we never worry about our property. We can enjoy our retirement in Portugal knowing our New Forest property is in the best possible hands."
Could This Be Your Story Too?
Whether you live overseas or just want peace of mind, we specialise in transforming stressful property management into profitable, worry-free investments.
Happy guests, glowing reviews, and a property you can be proud of

What Guests Say About Our Properties
Authentic 5-star reviews from real Airbnb guests who have stayed at properties managed by Full Bed Hosts
Claire
9 years on Airbnb
Lovely, homely cottage, in a quiet location and pleasant surroundings. The sitting room is particularly cosy, with the log burner. The cottage is nicely decorated, the kitchen well-equipped and the beds comfortable. The cottage is within a short walk of Sherborne town centre and the railway station. Communication from James, the co-host, was great! We really enjoyed our short stay – thank you!
Derek

Nice cosy cottage, amenities close by, great restaurants and good for day trip to Longleat.
Hayley
9 years on Airbnb
This was a wonderful bungalow that suited our situation brilliantly. We were a mixed group of 2 young children, 4 adults and 2 elderly less mobile adults. The hot tub was a great hit with the kids and adults, the bungalow was spacious enough to wheel a wheelchair around for one of the elderly guests, and it was perfectly equipped. Moors valley adventure park was a great day out and only a short drive away. Overall a wonderful stay and a very responsive and friendly guest. Would recommend for anyone wanting to stay in the area.
