Farm stays earn £35K per year, letting agency says
18th December 2024
As well as being the third-highest earning property type in 2023, farm stays have generated 13% more gross income than the average property in 2024, says Sykes Holiday Cottages.
Brothers Gwion and Dylan Jones, and their partners, Mared and Catrin, diversified their Snowdonia farmland by building two underground huts, Nant yr Garnedd and Nant yr Esgair, to list with Sykes.
In their first full year, they attracted a staggering 132 bookings between them, and earned 85% more gross income than the average holiday let.
They have also won multiple awards, including Nant yr Garnedd being voted Britain and Ireland’s Best Glamping Holiday Let by Sykes and other industry experts in 2022.
Mared Jones commented: “We are thrilled with the popularity of the hobbit houses. We love welcoming guests and want to share this picturesque area where Dylan and Gwion grew up with holidaymakers from across the UK and beyond.”
Sykes says it’s aware of the challenges facing UK farmers, and can use its experience to help you earn a second income by diversifying your farmland through holiday letting.
