How It Works
From first call to first booking in as little as three weeks.
We review your property in depth
A company founder visits your property in person — walking every room, assessing layout, presentation, and amenities. You’ll receive a written assessment covering pricing strategy, presentation improvements, and realistic income projections. This advice is always free, whether you join us or not.
Start earning
We handle professional photography, listing creation, and pricing. Most properties go live within 2–3 weeks.
Why Owners Choose Us
We built Travel Fox around a simple idea: manage properties the way we’d want our own managed.
Keep more of every booking
We only take our 12% or 15% after cleaning costs are covered. That means short stays don’t eat into your profit — and there are zero hidden fees.
Leave whenever you want
You stay because you want to, not because you have to. No notice period, no exit fees, no joining fees. If we aren’t delivering, you can walk away tomorrow. We’d rather earn your loyalty than enforce a contract.
Double the occupancy
Our dynamic pricing models and flexible minimum stays deliver 40–45 weeks of bookings annually — roughly double what traditional letting agents achieve.
Never another 2am phone call
We answer every guest inquiry within minutes, 24/7, 365 days a year. You’ll never be woken by a panicked guest again.
A founder visits every property
A co-founder visits every property in person — not just to assess it, but to share honest, practical advice on how to maximise your income. From layout and finishing touches to amenities and pricing, every visit comes with free, unlimited advice. No strings attached, no obligation to join.

Meet the Founders
We’re not a faceless corporate. We’re two friends who started Travel Fox in 2022.
Sam Stabler
Co-Founder & COO
A chemical engineer and Team GB runner, Sam brings high-performance discipline to Travel Fox. As COO, he manages 115+ properties across the UK with an engineer’s instinct for simplicity and a runner’s focus on progress. Sam and his lifelong friend Chris have built a business where “broken” isn’t an option and guest care is paramount. When he’s not buried in operations, Sam is out on the trails.
Chris Miles, PhD
Co-Founder & CFO
Chris has a PhD in mathematical modelling from Nottingham. If he can organise systems of equations for phase-shifting fluids, he can price your cottage by the lake on a Tuesday. Anyone can fill a calendar in August. The difference is what happens in the quiet months — our pricing keeps properties booked year-round for owners, and means guests can enjoy a midweek escape in October without paying bank holiday prices. When he’s not buried in pricing models, he’s buried in a sudoku or winning a pub quiz.
