The Cumbrian Lake District has huge demand for Airbnbs and short-term holiday lets, with bookings coming from all over the world.
Unfortunately, many properties fail to reach their full potential because of poor property management and marketing.
Laik’s letting service changes that with better results for our property owners.
We are owners ourselves, so we understand only too well how hard it is to get this right and how important it is to do so.
The Challenges for Lake District Airbnb Owners
Owners often face low occupancy, bad reviews, and a seemingly endless list of tasks to address and deal with.
In Cumbria and the Lake District, the market average occupancy is 53% for the period from 1 September 2023 to 1 September 2024.
Many owners struggle to make a profit and end up feeling disappointed, stressed and overworked from their investment.
How Laik Helps With Local Airbnb Management Service
We are a locally owned and operated Airbnb management service focused on delivering significantly better results for our owners.
Our Lake District properties hit 70% occupancy, we sell nights at 15% above the market average, and we get 90% five-star reviews.
Based on our own experience of letting Airbnb in the Lakes and around Cumbria, we focus on delivering great guest experiences and consistently strong returns for owners.

Why The Cumbrian Lake District is Perfect for Airbnb Owners
The Lake District in Cumbria draws many visitors each year for its natural beauty and a range of activities, including hiking, boating, and visiting historic sites.
This high demand makes it a strong spot for holiday let investments. Owners can expect good returns.
Recent data shows an average annual income of £28,200 from holiday lets in the area, and we’ve helped our owners generate much higher incomes.
This puts Cumbria as the second most profitable region in the UK for such properties, just behind the Cotswolds.
For a three-bedroom home, average earnings can be around £36,000 per year, while Laik’s owners average around £60,000 per year.
Short-term rentals here often outperform long-term lets in profit.
Average occupancy is 64%, with daily rates around £285, resulting in solid monthly revenue.
Owning a holiday home also means personal perks, such as easy access for your own trips and a steady second income.
With Laik’s local management, you can make the most of this market and boost your property’s performance.
