Jurassic coast
Holiday let changeover software for Dorset
Dorset seaside lets from Lyme Regis through Weymouth towards Swanage pick up Saturday changeovers in the school holidays. Cliff lanes and inland farm stays do not belong on the same rushed loop.
A Saturday along the coast
Seaside lets from Lyme Regis through Weymouth and on towards Swanage pick up Saturday changeovers in the school holidays. Those towns are not one round. Cliff villages sit down steep lanes that take one vehicle at a time, so the last mile can matter more than the main road.
Inland, including farm stays towards the Blackmore Vale, the changeover is more often boots and a quieter arrival. A company that holds both should not send one person from a Swanage flat to a vale farm and back just because both say Dorset on the spreadsheet.
Sand, dogs and a booked-up August
Beach houses bring sand, salt and dog hair, and some have a hot tub that is a task of its own. In peak weeks the next guests often arrive the same afternoon, so an overrun has nowhere to hide.
Cleaners who will work those Saturdays are in demand through July and August. The next seven days are how you see the clash while there is still time to move a person, rather than on the morning the first guest is leaving.
How Changeover Master helps
Group Lyme Regis, Weymouth and Swanage separately before you assign the day, and put the lane and parking note on the job link. A photo of the finished rooms is a straightforward record on a beach house, where sand is what the next guest sees first.
- Calendar sync. Where you connect an iCal feed, those departures become changeovers on the diary. After a successful check the feed is read again about every 15 minutes. That is a sync, not a ping the moment someone books, so a same-day change should also be sent directly.
- Cleaner job links, with no cleaner login. Each cleaner has a private link. They open it on their phone, with no login and no app, and see only the changeovers you assigned. It shows the address, the checkout, the next check-in and the access notes.
- Photo proof. On that link they can add a photo of the finished clean. You see the photo count and the pictures on the changeover. The photos stay private.
- Problem reports. From the same link they can report damage, missing or low supplies, maintenance, cleanliness or guest mess, or other, with a short note. You see an open-problem flag on the changeover. An owner or manager marks it resolved.
- Late-clean alerts. If the clean is not marked done by the cutoff before the next check-in, or today's changeover has no cleaner, the account owner can get one email and the diary can show At risk, then Late. The cutoff starts at two hours and needs a check-in time on the property.
- Unlimited cleaners and staff. Every plan includes unlimited cleaners and staff. The price follows how many active properties you look after, not how many people are on the team.

The price is the same in every area. It follows active properties, not the county.
- Free for up to 2 active properties after the 30-day trial. With more than 2, the workspace becomes read-only until you choose a paid plan.

Annual billing is 10 times the monthly price, paid upfront for 12 months. The trial is 30 days and does not need a card. Free done-for-you migration is included on every plan: we will move your properties, calendars and cleaners across for you.
