Derwent House enjoys newfound efficiency thanks to Little Hotelier

Derwent House is a collection of five luxury apartments in Scarborough’s picturesque South Cliff. These self-catering apartments garnered an exceptional rating from guests when featured on Channel 4’s ‘Four in a Bed’ in the UK, ultimately securing the runner-up position. Additionally, the apartments boast an impressive 9.8 rating on Booking.com and are currently in the process of becoming a registered filming location for film and TV. Clearly beloved by all, Derwent House offers an exceptional experience that attracts both guests and media attention alike. Owner Claire Moseley also manages Maynard Hotel and Rowntree Lodge in Scarborough, and uses Little Hotelier’s all-in-one solution to manage daily operations. We recently had the privilege of speaking with Claire to hear about her experience running these three Scarborough hotels and how Little Hotelier has made life easier.

Why it matters: A constant challenge to adjust rates to reflect seasonal demand.

Scarborough, located on England’s North Sea coast, is a highly seasonal travel destination. As a result, Claire and the team must continuously adjust rates to align with market demand.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Running a successful hotel involves numerous responsibilities, making it crucial to have a reliable system that centralises all operations.

Unrivalled customer support: Managing three different properties simultaneously is a significant endeavour, making 24-hour support essential for addressing any questions that may arise. Through chat, phone, or web, Little Hotelier will be there to help you succeed at any time.
