Hi! I'm

KATIE

I help holiday rental and Airbnb owners turn empty weeks into fully booked calendars through simple, practical marketing that actually works.

I see too many owners pour their heart, soul and savings into creating a beautiful place to stay, only to find themselves constantly checking Airbnb, worrying about empty dates in the diary and wondering what they're doing wrong.

That's where I come in.

Growing up in South Devon, tourism has always been part of my life. From helping in my family's B&B and cleaning holiday cottages, to working in the marketing department of one of the UK's largest holiday cottage agencies, I've experienced the industry from every angle.

I've also been an Airbnb Superhost myself, so I know first-hand what it's like to juggle guest enquiries, manage bookings and market a holiday rental while wearing every other hat in the business.

Today, I help owners take control of their marketing with straightforward coaching, practical training and realistic strategies that help them attract more of the right guests, reduce their reliance on booking sites and build a holiday rental business they're proud of.

Hi! I'm

KATIE

I am a social media and email marketing expert who offers coaching and online training programmes to holiday cottage owners to help them improve their digital presence and online visibility, to generate more bookings.

Growing up in South Devon, my first experience in the industry was working in my family's B&B. From waitressing and cleaning holiday lets, to working in the marketing department of one of the largest holiday cottage agencies in the UK, I've seen every side of the tourism industry and have invaluable experience.

I have also been a Superhost myself, with a very successful Airbnb, so I totally understand what it’s like to market and manage a holiday let.

Your Investment

For the cost of just one weekend booking, you'll gain access to a wealth of marketing knowledge and expert support that will fuel bookings for years to come.

WHAT MY CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

Hayley

Lobster Cove, Cornwall

"Before the academy I was struggling with being consistent on social media which I now feel I have a solid schedule in place. I feel happier that my social platforms are the best they can be. Katie's support with optimising this as well as our website has been invaluable. I am hoping that by doing this we will recieve more direct bookings.

I now have an email list for the cottage in place & thanks to Katie am confident with how to use this for marketing. We are much clearer on who our target guest is and our usp so it will be easier as I keep them in mind when I am planning my marketing. I have extended my branding to be consistent through all areas that our guests and potential guests see which gives me greater confidence.

It has been a pleasure working with Katie over the last 8 weeks & I would recommend anyone struggling with marketing their holiday property to invest in the Host Marketing Academy."

Jonathan

Flint Cottage, Sussex

"Social media was always something that was very much hit and miss with our Instagram feed for Flint Cottage. Looking back, before this course, it is very clear now that our feed was somewhat lacking in know-how and direction.

With Katie’s guidance, experience and knowledge of how all things social media work, we feel much more confident in our approach to Instagram and other platforms such as Facebook, TikTok and Pinterest.

The course also provided valuable insight into SEO best practices and email marketing so it is very well rounded and covers all relevant areas.

The most interesting thing for our Flint Cottage Instagram feed was how a few simple changes and tweaks can make a big difference in terms of engaging with our audience, which seems the crucial thing.

This is a hands-on course and the weekly feedback from Katie was particularly insightful and fascinating too…a great way to learn from someone who has real industry experience and knowledge.

Brilliantly presented in a friendly and intuitive manner. Highly recommended indeed!"

Luca

Palm Retreats, Cornwall

"Before joining the Host Marketing Programme, I felt slightly overwhelmed trying to create a clear plan and timeline for my holiday-let business. I was confident with social media but lacked proper systems, a website, and an organised marketing strategy.

The programme was immediately insightful. From defining my target guest to setting up automated messaging, choosing the right booking systems, and understanding SEO, each session gave me practical tools I could implement straight away. Understanding the other social media platforms in more detail was also useful and discovering the best option for an online guest guide makes the whole guest experience more successful.

Katie was an excellent and encouraging leader, and the weekly social media audits helped me optimise my Instagram profile and significantly improve engagement.

I now feel more confident moving forward with a structured marketing plan and the right systems in place. I would highly recommend this programme to anyone looking to streamline and elevate their holiday let business which will hopefully now begin to convert into direct bookings."

Hannah

Pheasant Lodge, Lake District

"I was struggling with direction and what to start on to make changes. I had a very long list and didn’t know where to start or what was best.

I was out of my depth with the website, newsletters and even the systems for my holiday cottage. Changing my website myself - without paying for help. Meant I learnt how to do SEO, how to add a blog, how to add newsletters. I would never have taken on these things before but Katie gave me the skills to do so.

Also putting into place systems I hadn’t used before such as PriceLabs and TouchStay. Lots of things that have been introduced have made my life easier.

Tips for social media have also been great."

Lucy

Churchside Huts, Lincolnshire

"Having run a successful caravan holiday parks business for 20years in a destination seaside resort in the age BEFORE social media became dominant, I was hugely resistant to using or even learning about the new-fangled ways of today’s marketing world when it came to promoting our brand new rural cabin holidays business. However, after the realisation hit me that I had to dive in or fail miserably, I signed up for an online seminars course and discovered Katie from The Holiday Hive as one of the speakers. We made contact and discussed my predicament. Katie is so knowledgeable and easy to talk to, and doesn’t make me feel like an old fossil, so she easily persuaded me not to delay further and to get enrolled in her Host Academy, as it would definitely help.

Wow, what a learning experience. It has been a very enlightening 8 weeks! ( No learning curve …. Just a straight line upwards). I still have a LOT to learn through lots of trial and error, but I now have a very clear picture of what I actually need to put in place rather than guessing and wasting an enormous amount of time. I also have access to someone who will give me feedback and practical suggestions when I’m stumped.

As a result of the program I have set up my own direct bookings website and linked up to a bookings management program, I’ve updated old listings with the major OTAs, I’ve got a clear idea about my target customer, I can create useful QR codes and design marketing tools to grow an email list from future guests. I now have active professional accounts with FB, Instagram & TikTok, and I’m formulating a real marketing plan for 2026/7. That feels significant."

Clare

The Nest at Bowbank

So grateful to have taken part in the Host Marketing Academy. I was leaving an agency and needed to start from scratch whilst running two other businesses. The structured approach and weekly sessions kept me on track, kept me focused on what really needed my energy and held me accountable so that progress was achieved each week and benefit was felt. I have recommended this course to other holiday let owners too, so they can feel the benefit of the great tips, advice and support within the small group sessions.
