We are Edinburgh locals with experience in property management and customer service.
We created Snug Edinburgh to offer home owners and investors help to market and manage their properties in the short term rentals market as easily as possible.
I graduated from Edinburgh's Heriot-Watt University with a Building Survey degree in 1998. After working with some large companies gaining valuable experience I decided to start my own property management company, which I have now been running for 20 years - has it really been that long!
My company has it's Scottish Government registration and my qualification ties in nicely with keeping all our Snug properties safe and protected places to relax.
But it's not really safety legislation that floats my boat, it is golf, whisky and craft beer!
I've worked in hospitality for a number of years and most recently worked as an area manager for restaurants and coffee shop chains. In 2015 I opened a couple of rooms in my home to guests via Airbnb. I really enjoyed sharing my local knowledge and home with guests from all over the world and soon earned my Superhost status and started co-hosting for other Airbnb hosts.
My business continued to grow and in 2018 Grant and I started working in partnership together. With my experience in home sharing and hospitality and his in property management we covered a lot of bases! I enjoy getting to know our clients and understanding what works for them, as well as still having the opportunity to meet and look after our guests.
I've travelled extensively myself as an Airbnb guest and I'm always looking for fresh ideas to bring back to use in our own listings. I hope this has also given me a good insight for what our guest's needs are when staying with us. When I'm home I enjoy walking my dog Jessie in Edinburgh's many green spaces as well as eating out and enjoying some of the lovely local food and drink Scotland has to offer.
