One connected guest experience: digital guide, QR codes and printed welcome book.
No risk, ever
We build it before you pay.
We create your personalised guest guide first. A payment method is added securely via Stripe during onboarding, but no setup charge is taken until you approve your guide. If you don’t approve it, you pay nothing.
No upfront charge
Your card is stored securely by Stripe and never charged before you approve.
You stay in control
Walk away any time before approval. Approving authorises setup plus £9.99/month.
UK-based support
A real person who knows your property, not a help centre article.
Positioning
More than another guest-guide app.
Most platforms hand you another tool to learn and another blank page to fill. StayLore is a small UK team who write, design and maintain your guest experience for you.

- Support by help centre article
StayLore

What you receive
Everything your guests need, made for you.
One questionnaire produces a connected guest experience — on screen, on the web and on the table.
Personalised digital guest guide
Written around your home, your welcome and the way you like to host — not a template with your name dropped in.
Your own hosted StayLore URL
Your guide lives on a clean, hosted link you can share, print or scan — no website to build or maintain.
Print-ready A4/A5 welcome book
Print-ready files matching your digital guide exactly. Professional physical printing is an optional extra.
Curated local recommendations
Your favourite places, presented like a concierge card — with directions, distances and honest notes.
Custom QR codes, ready for print
Supplied as print-ready files for the door, the book and the fridge. Physical QR plaques and cards are optional extras.
Mobile-first design
Built for the phone in your guest's hand, and beautiful on every screen in between.
Direct booking, coming soon
StayLore Direct will turn your guide into a direct-booking website. It isn't available yet — join the waitlist below.
Ongoing updates and support
Changed the WiFi or found a new favourite pub? Tell us and we update it for you.
Please note: Digital includes print-ready welcome book files and QR codes. Complete adds the professionally produced A4 welcome guide with replaceable pages and two branded QR displays. StayLore Direct — direct booking — is not available yet.
How it works
Five calm steps, and you pay nothing until step four.
You never open a page builder or wrestle with a template. That is our job — and we do it before you part with anything.
- 01
Tell us about your property
A guided questionnaire, around 10–15 minutes, saved as you go so you can pause and return.
- 02
Securely add a payment method
Card details are stored securely by Stripe as part of your order. No setup charge is taken at this point.
- 03
We build your personalised preview
We write, design and build it around your home — normally ready within 5 working days.
- 04
Review, refine, approve
Ask for any changes. Approving your guide authorises the £99 or £199 setup payment and starts Care & Support at £9.99/month.
- 05
Go live
Your guide goes live, and on Complete your printed welcome guide and branded QR displays go into production.
No payment today — preview normally ready within 5 working days.
Examples
See the work, not just the promise.
Our founder's own holiday let, The Monkey Maisonette in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, was the original proof of concept — and shows exactly what a StayLore looks like in a real home.

Your guide. Your property. Your bookings.

Coming soon
Pricing not yet announced. Not available to buy today.
Planned
- Your StayLore presence becomes a direct-booking website
- Property showcase with availability display
- Direct booking enquiries and requests in one place
- Guest payments — phased in as the platform matures
- • During onboarding you add a payment method securely via Stripe. No setup charge is taken then, and StayLore never sees your card number.
- • Approving your guide authorises the one-off setup payment (£99 Digital / £199 Complete) and starts Care & Support at £9.99/month.
- • Care & Support covers hosting, upkeep and reasonable minor content updates — not unlimited redesign work.
- • Cancel Care & Support at any time. Prices include no hidden extras; final scope is confirmed in writing before work begins.
Portfolios & managed properties
Managing more than one property?
StayLore creates one consistent standard of guest experience across your whole portfolio — while every property keeps its own branding, voice and personality. We price it around the size of your portfolio, not per checkout page.
- A consistent guest experience across every property
- Individual branding and personality retained
- One point of contact for updates and changes
- Portfolio pricing, quoted around your properties
Tell us how many properties you look after — 2–5, 6–10, 11–25, 26–50 or 50+ — and we’ll come back with a portfolio quote.
Or email hello@staylore.co.uk

Why StayLore
Better for you. Better for your guests.
Save hours of writing and setup
We do the writing, designing and building. You answer a questionnaire once.
Look more professional
A guest experience that stands beside boutique hotels, not spreadsheets.
Give guests better information
Fewer messages about WiFi and bins, more time spent enjoying your home.
Encourage repeat and direct bookings
A branded experience guests remember — and can come back to directly.
Keep digital and print connected
One source of truth behind the screen and the printed book on the table.
Retain your property's personality
Your voice, your recommendations, your story — never a generic template.
From host experience to guest experience
Built with real holiday-let hosts.
StayLore began in a working UK holiday let and is being shaped alongside real properties — so the guide solves the problems hosts actually have.
Shaped in real properties
Every section exists because a real UK holiday let needed it — arrival, WiFi, bins, parking, the walk everyone asks about.
Written the way hosts speak
Your recommendations and your tone, not stock copy. The guide sounds like the person who owns the home.
Refined by the questions guests ask
The layout keeps answering the messages hosts were tired of answering, so guests find things without asking.
FAQs
Questions hosts ask us.
