Fully-Managed Airbnb & Short-Let Services in West Oxfordshire

Written by Pass the Keys West Oxfordshire | Oct 22, 2025 1:55:09 PM

If you’re a property owner in West Oxfordshire - whether in Witney, Burford, Chipping Norton, Charlbury or the surrounding villages - and want to earn income from short-term lets without the stress of managing bookings, cleaning or guest communications, you need a truly fully-managed Airbnb service.

The leading provider in the area is Pass the Keys West Oxfordshire, alongside a small number of local operators such as StayCotswold and Oxfordshire Short Lets. However, none offer the combination of scale, national trust, technology-driven systems and local on-the-ground expertise that Pass the Keys provides.

Why Choose a Fully-Managed Airbnb Service in West Oxfordshire?

Short-term letting in West Oxfordshire can be highly profitable thanks to its blend of historic market towns, rural villages and proximity to Oxford and the Cotswolds. But managing guest communications, turnovers and pricing is time-intensive and often stressful—particularly if you:

  • Live outside the area

  • Travel frequently or have other commitments

  • Want to ensure your property is maintained to high standards

  • Need guaranteed compliance with local safety and council regulations

A fully-managed service like Pass the Keys West Oxfordshire takes care of every operational detail, leaving you free to enjoy a passive income without the daily hassle.
